I work at home, mostly at the kitchen table. Consequently my hair is getting long and straggly, my beard is starting to make a reappearance and interactions with other humans usually involves a nod and a grunt.
I am losing all my social skills, I’m sure.
Today I crawled out of the kitchen, blinked at the bright grey sky and drove to Broughton, to go visit some prospective clients. Lovely it was too. There is a roundabout in Broughton that is sponsored by AirBus, it’s rather surreal. I’d include a photograph of it, but of course, I was driving.
The meeting went well, I think. Part two is tomorrow, and then hopefully there is more exciting work to come out of it. There isn’t really much to the day beyond that. It seemed to overshadow everything else. The children have a new place to learn their Tai Kwon Do, and I’ve got to prepare a presentation for tomorrow.
Oh and dinner was some tasty soup.
It was full, though, and the idea of doing a run was very very low on my radar today. Managed to squeeze one in on the treadmill after Jude got home. Three miles with a sprint every half mile or so. Well, I went to 7mph every half a mile or so. That said, I’d then collapse, go as slow as humanly possible and then slowly build up to going speedily again. In one “ohmygodwhatamidoing” moment, I pulled out the safety line and everything went dead. That was at about 22/23 minutes and I was two miles in. I think I did the three miles in about 35 minutes.
Although running on the treadmill feels like a Proper Chore, the choriness is offset by the ability to watch netflix things on the ipad. Today it was three episodes of Adventure Time. How much more fun can one take? Four and I might have exploded.
Here’s “Trouble in Lumpy Space”. Lumpy Space Princess is AWESOME!
