reality check – the i-don’t-know-what-else-to-writ

e edition.

WHERE: in the bath (this seems to be a recurring theme). It’s early but I ate pizza last night so I woke up with a funny tummy and then decided that, since I was up, I may as well have a long soak without the cry of “but I want to come in mummy!” It’s okay, sometimes, to have the bath to myself. Right?

WEARING: you want me to go through my jewellery again?!

FITNESS UPDATE: the cycling is going well, yesterday I managed to get up the hill to Old Town without giving myself ‘outs’ eg. “I’ll get to the corner and then I can stop if I need to… I’ll get to the pine tree and then I can stop if I want to… I’ll get to etc…” Until I reach the top. I was almost there when I realised that my mind had been wandering 🙂 weight-wise, I’m still above what makes me happy.

IN THE NEWS: the mall shootings in Kenya. Obviously, although I don’t remember Kenya, it’s a place close to my heart. I read a very interesting article yesterday, it was about how the local (kenyan) media had pounced on this mall being somewhere that only the rich, the corrupt and the white people went so it didn’t matter. World media pounced on the Islamist extremist side of things.

Both quickly lost these points of view when news leaked about the gunmen shooting people who have the correct quotes. When news footage showed black people helping white people out, white people carrying black children. Muslims limping out, arm in arm with poor black people, rich black people, white people. No one there was worried about race or status, they were just helping each other.

READING: my new Sue Grafton book has arrived W is for Wasted. It’s really good so far and could be setting Kinsey up for retirement… Though I can’t see her retiring somehow!

ACTIVITIES TODAY: it would usually be toy library but today is Join Your Child at School morning so Libby and I will be doing that, Tally first and then Lila. Lunchtime I will be meeting up with a friend for lunch (with Libby) and then this aft is a blank slate.

THINKING ABOUT: my training next week, that both training and interview sessions landed on pre-arranged things ie. The interview was Lila’s eye appt (thankfully they changed that for the next day) and the training was my filling (i’ll have to wait another two weeks!).

I must look on the website so I can be All Knowledgeable…

PLANNING: hair wash, get the rubbish sorted and out – I can hear the bin lorry…

The girls have hair appts tomorrow – Tally wants a bob 🙂

And that is all…
