i give in to sin, because you have to make this life livable
Tonight I have Fuzzy and his housemate visiting. YAY! I foresee takeaway :)
Before that we have the Taekwondo AGM. Which, rather shockingly, means that as of today I have been doing Taekwondo for 6 years as I'm the only pupil left from the first class. Hmm I have to admit I don't feel 6 years good. I know I have an awful lot of tkd knowledge in my head, often far more than I realise, but physically I'm not as good as I should be given I've spent 6 years of my life doing this! then again I'm 6 years older than I was when I started as a fresh-faced 31 year old and until recently was the oldest person in the class by a good 3 years. it's been 6 years of highs and lows, of injuries and achievements. It's not always gone smoothly and there have been a few arguements and disappointments along the way - not least when I quit for a month just over a year ago - but that very much taught me how much it's in my brain and is a way of life even if you only do it like a completely innept amateur like I do - I just couldn't stay away as it felt like breaking up with someone unnecessarily!
Bridget and I went running again last night. I'd had 2 pints in hudds with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jacoby_swift, scarletkitti and the kids beforehand which didn't actually have any discernable positive or negative affect on the experience. We're keeping the run/walk ratio the same next time as B was finding it quite hard going but I think she's improving and I'm pretty amazed at how untired it's leaving me - although it is a slower pace than I'm used to. yay anyway.
today is Saint Gobain's international environment, health and safety day, which, much like last year, mostly involves sitting in a room watching a video where a series of rich and powerful French men shout at us telling us not to hurt ourselves so much and to recycle more. yeah cos that works :P
