Yesterday's volunteering went well - there was a lot of having to sweep up the autumn leaves before we could do any planting though; it was a chore, and I did intend to do a run after work, but then saw that colleagues were going to the pub and decided to join them instead, I'll usually choose the pub over a run, its just how I am ( Read more... )

I've been trying to edit the book that I've nearly finished writing, but this morning I decided not to get carried away with writing this, and got on with some routines, including indoor fitness, and decided to have a walk before I did half an hour of editing ( Read more... )
