Ill

Posted at 8:44 pm, Sunday January 22, 2012 by rich

I started out the new year with good intentions, at least 30 minutes on the turbo every day. I managed two days and have been ill ever since. Proof, if it were needed, that exercise is bad for you.

I’ll try again from the 1st of Feb.

I’ve been writing this shit for 10 years. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone.

Starting off slowly

Posted at 7:27 pm, Friday April 1, 2011 by rich

Today was the first day of my rather lengthy holiday, I’m not officially back in the office until 3rd May.

So as I don’t over-do things too much, I spent a lazy day starting off with a shopping trip into town, followed by a trip to the supermarket for beer, wine, and junk food, and then spent the rest of the day making full use of the LoveFilm app on the PS3.

Tomorrow I plan to do even less.

Back breaker

Posted at 7:26 pm, Monday October 11, 2010 by rich

A day stood around at an airshow is always going to give me backache, usually it isn’t too much of a problem. Yesterday at Duxford however proved to have a longer lasting effect.

My back was pretty bad towards the end of the display, but 3.5 hours sat in the car on the way back settled things down a bit, and by the time I headed for bed it wasn’t too bad. However it went rapidly downhill from there. I woke in the early hours of the morning with bad backache which proceeded to keep me awake most of the night, and by the time my alarm woke me sometime after 6:30 I couldn’t actually get out of bed. The application of heat pads and painkillers didn’t do much to counteract the problem, I tried to get up for lunch and lasted 10 minutes before I had to admit defeat and return to bed.

At 6pm I managed a whole hour out of bed so I could eat my dinner before giving up and opting for a more horizontal resting position. I couldn’t even stand up long enough for a shower having to settle for a bath instead, and I don’t really fit in a bath very well.

Will I make it out of bed tomorrow morning? Only time will tell.

Unwanted goods

Posted at 5:18 pm, Wednesday September 1, 2010 by rich

Thanks to the worlds most incompetent credit-card fraudsters I now have 4 Chelsea shirts in rather small sizes, and a gaudy dress which, even if it fitted, doesn’t suit me at all.

I wonder what other delights will arrive in the next few days?
