Back this evening from dance classes and we spent an hour spinning around followed by an hour doing more tandem charleston. It feels like some of the basics are starting to sink in a bit more and I was able to do the Lindy turns / circle a bit better after the practice over the weekend as well.

Although I’ve just spent the last few minutes spinning up and down the kitchen waiting for the kettle to boil and my head is spinning. I might try practicing in smaller doses.

It’s been a day of mostly putting things in place for the new project I’m working on. Playing with Laravel 5, reinstalling OSX on the machine in the back room and generally getting clear slates for work over the next month. There are definitely some nice aspects to L5 as a framework and I’m impressed so far.

However, I didn’t get a chance to do my run. Having been being completely unprepared for the week, I knew that I was going to be coding today but hadn’t scheduled a time for the run. When we got back from dancing it was well past 9 and the children were still up, so we put them to bed and before we knew it, it was a quarter to 10. I certainly wasn’t going out at that time, so it’s not been a great week on the running front. My plan is to see how time unfolds tomorrow and perhaps get a run and a gym session in tomorrow.

I did get my walk done. Lift tells me that I’ve done 67 consecutive days now. It still seems like a long way to get to 100.

That’s it – not much to report, but the day has been exciting (new project) and enjoyable (dancing). Tomorrow looks like being accounts, coding, run and gym. More varied, but may not rank highly on the awesomeness scale.

Oh, and I’ve had “Button up your overcoat” on the brain all day. I’ve no idea why, perhaps because it’s a bit chilly (plus it’s an awesome song). This Ruth Etting version from 1929 is delightful –

but I don’t think anything beats the Bonzos:
