Air Conditioning

Do we ever get it right?
The office I work in is kept on the icy side, so when it’s 30 degrees outside, you go out into the air and melt. Yuck.
Last night I went to the gym - 30 degrees outside, a toasty 23 degrees inside. All ok until you start running and 2 mins into [...]

Lots of golf

Played three times over the weekend – same course, different days.
Consistency…NONE
Improvements…hmmm…SOME
Frustrations…LOTS!
But, we’ll still go back for more.
Saturday was a pretty good round for me – but lacked any consistency in my play. I managed par on two holes, and did ok on a couple of others, but was let down by a couple of bad tee [...]

SemiPro (I think that’s what it was called)

Billed as a comedy with Will Ferrell as it’s leading man…I would recommend you avoid this film. I thought it would be ‘ok’ as an entertaining laugh…I fell asleep, probably somewhere in the first half hour. I also read the Radio Times, and competed some of the puzzles at the back of the magazine before I [...]

3bts – skinny & fat cats, a good cry, garlic

At the end of a really dull, boring and trying day being greeted on the doorstep by two cats. Fat cat normally doesn’t greet me until it’s dinner time.
Having had a good cry this evening, I feel better. It was needed. (Thanks Ian.)
Making dinner and adding fresh garlic. Yum.

Films

Recently, I’ve seen a number of films at the cinema. Here are my views:
Wanted – 4/5
Bit of a rollercoaster ride with lots of action and unbelievable stories. A good watch on the big screen – not sure how well it will translate to the TV screen at home.
Mamma Mia – 3/5
What can I say? This [...]

Eeek…really unwell…or?

Making myself feel unwell?
Not sure. But blood pressure is back down again below the 50 mark. Nausea, dizzyness, ‘hungover fuzzy’ head etc. Temperature is normal…so what the heck is going on?
 
Update: I had a virus. It made me very ill, and my blood pressure lower than normal. Happy to say it’s back to normal now [...]

Low blood pressure strikes wobbly

Hmmm…this is now getting silly. 75/47 was the low point, if you’ll pardon the pun. Today, I’m ok and at work with a reasonable 87/53 or that’s what it was…
Eek. I exercised quite a lot on Monday and then Tuesday was faced with low, low, low blood pressure. Did no exercise Tuesday as I was too [...]

Wii Fit/ Wii Sports

I hadn’t played/used either for a while and at the weekend I did quite a bit. Baseball is always my least favourite thing, because it hurts my arm - I don’t know why! I played a few games and managed to win some of them, but my arm is really sore today (and yesterday). If you’d have said to [...]

A helping hand?

A friend of mine has been really struggling lately to get to grip with her weight. She’s just had a mountain of things to worry about, and being the person she is, she’s forgotten to take care of herself. Like a lot of us, when others are in need, we neglect our own needs & [...]

No sleep, and the fat lady sings

I didn’t sleep well last night – at all. An old issue that has been on my mind for a long time came to life again yesterday. Yes, it’s work related. Yes, it’s not good. Yes, it’s a bit of a nightmare as it involved some people who I consider very special, and who are very [...]
