A day of nothing in particular

If I hadn't agreed to Skype Stuart reasonably early I think I would have stayed in bed a little longer! However, I sat and had my breakfast while skyping. Poor Stuart always has to put up with me speaking with my mouth full of breakie every morning!

Mum, you will pleased to read I have finally sent something you wanted back. I have found the best place to post things. The guys in the store are always helpful and help me get the best solution/price to send items international. I have been to quite a few post offices and most have had a sour faced individual behind the desk that would rather no be there and are particularly unhelpful. (I might have said this before!)

I had had an email earlier in the week from our car rental company telling me I needed an oil change so I went to 'Jiffy Lube', because I liked the name. It was like a drive through car wash. There was at least 8 guys and they were all hurrying around my car. There was one poor guy under the floor doing the oil change - you can imagine how hot and sweaty that job must be.

I hadn't been in the pool all week, but before I could jump in I had to clear a million flying ants that had decided it was a landing pad last night. It was great in the water and I tried out my new webbed gloves for swimming. They are meant to increase resistance in the water - I just wanted something to give me a bit of variation while swimming. I managed to read two geological papers on the sunbed before I fell asleep! I then woke feeling decidedly hot and slightly sick so I sloped off to the shade.

I rang Danny, who had spent the day cleaning, not much more than me then and I said we could meet for coffee. In the end, we went for a frozen yogurt. It was called 'Swirls' and they had loads of different flavours and then you could top the yogurt off with fruit pieces, and obviously plenty of sweet things, if you wanted. We then went to the Container Shop. You can buy anything that relates to a container, plus for some reason, any shape, size or colour of coat hanger. It was like being in a sweetie shop there was so many different boxes. What I really needed was jars for the kitchen to stop those cockroaches getting near my food!

BBQ dinner this evening. Another steak! I have just learnt another point for the BBQ - don't skimp on the amount of charcoal you put in! Apart from that, it was good although there was definitely something missing! Can you work out what it is? Yes alcohol. Because I have my resting metabolic rate measurement tomorrow morning I have to abstain, only water :(

Just watching Die Hard :)
