Weekly Roundup 13/02/12 – 17/02/12

With not having the kids around this week, we’ve been making the most of the evenings.

Monday I was a bit of a zombie. I didn’t sleep very well sunday night and didn’t do any meditation monday morning either. I was meant to have a meeting with my boss at work, but no-one had cancelled the meeting and I later found out he was on holiday. I’d even skipped swimming so I could get in a bit earlier but it made things even worse. So the rest of the day I was in a bit of a bad mood which compounded the already bad mood I was in, plus it was a day of finger pointing and ‘why is your kit so shite’. Not great. Went home in the evening and definitely felt like I wanted to do something bloody stupid.

Tuesday was a better day. Had a bit of a breakthrough with my meditation, went swimming first thing which always makes me happy, and we stayed in that evening to have a chilled out valentines evening.

Wednesday I worked from home. Got lots done – then around 5pm I did a bit of work to the folding bike to get it roadworthy again (checked chain, refitted lights, checked tyres etc), and cycled into town to meet Michelle. What do you know – the folding bike *just* fits into the boot of a 2011 VW Polo, although you have to take the seat post out entirely.

Quickly walked to the Cinema as it’s Orange Wednesday and we got straight in to the Woman in Black. Daniel Radcliffe was great, but you really needed an older actor. However, it’s a proper good old Hammer horror film, but in the jumpy haunted house ghost format rather than gore porn which is what the current crop of horror movies tend to be.

Leaving the cinema we went to a couple of places for dinner but they were all full – Cafe Rouge 0n Coney St had loads of empty tables but the waitress said ’30 minute wait’ (ever get the feeling they didn’t need the customers?), so we ended up just wandering round to Wagamama.

Thursday was a bit of a quiet day – lots of work during the day, but when I got home it was a quiet night with just some music and reading as Michelle was out.

Friday I woke up full of energy. I had a great 1.5Km swim to start the day (60 lengths) which felt much easier than usual. I could have carried on going if it wasn’t for the time. When I got home Mum and Dad were at our house with the kids, so I took littlest one swimming and then we had a nice meal.
