Getting there...

I'm two weeks into the Lenten thing, and I've lost six pounds. It's almost entirely about exercise - if I exercise once a day I lose weight. If I don't, I don't.

Yesterday I ran for about 15 minutes, and played badminton for two hours. My legs were sore from Monday's run before I started, and last night I was hobbling. All of the pain was in my thighs, which made sitting down and standing up a bit problematic. All fine this morning, though, and I'll head to the gym at lunchtime. Actually, I think I'll run to the gym at the Kelvin Hall, and run back. Wait a minute, it's all uphill from there - I'll walk back! Next week (or the week after) I'll bring my bike down from the cottage, and cycle to the gym at Woodside.

Job-hunting is going slowly, but it's going. I'm casting CVs out on the water, and we'll see what comes back.

I'm a bit pissed off that there seems to be 100% cloud cover outside - I'd been looking forward to the lunar eclipse tonight.

And I've a football match to watch tonight, if I can decide which pub to see it in. With apologies to pshtaku, don't you hate it when your team gets drawn against Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League again?

Hope/Experience

Off to Oran Mor to watch Celtic take on Barcelona in the champions league. Since the competition started in 1992 Celtic have only lost once at home. To Barcelona.

So if you have any good thoughts to spare, beam then towards Parkhead.

Well, what does a stoopid meme know anyway?

Which Major Romantic Poet Would You Be (if You Were a Major Romantic Poet)?

You are George Gordon, Lord Byron! The prototypical bad boy, you'll sleep with anything that can give consent and maybe even a few things that can't or won't. Your ethics could use some work (nine year old girls?), but outside of the sex question, you're a grand partier and the bipolar, shady hero of your own story. The wittiest of the Romantics, you're mad, bad and dangerous to know. Scandalous! Take this quiz! Quizilla | Join | Make A Quiz | More Quizzes | Grab Code
