Not too bad a week, although rather full...

The Calling on Tuesday was much more its normal self this week -- more of the regulars back, I think. Not very much music that particularly made me want to dance, but lots of nice people to talk to, so that wasn't a problem. I really do need some different outfits sometime soon, though. snowyfeline, we really should make a date to go to Camden...

An excellent film club on Thursday, the more so since I hadn't been expecting to get to it. Two Almodovar films, the first exquisite and emotional, the second entertaining if somewhat devoid of discernable plot. I was very restrained about eating snacks, even; however, after my weight going up rather fast recently, and getting told on Monday that I seem to have acquired high blood pressure, I really need to do something about my diet.

The rest of the week's been largely full of work; generally going well, if with a few frustrating moments realising that I'd missed some facets of it, and had to rework things slightly. Still, it's all coming together, it's by and large proceeding at the speed I estimated, and the customer's deadlines appear to have slipped from impossible-to-meet to only-marginally-less-than-my-estimate, so that's good :-)

Off in a few minutes for a swim with the children (partly for fun, partly as at least a pretence of getting some exercise to go along with the diet); then this evening babysitting for a friend, and Yet More Work. *sigh*

Swimming is v.g. exercise, no pretence needed! Particularly if you're with kids - I know whenever I take my aunt's five kids swimming, I come back and drop off on the sofa!

Hope it was fun, sorry I missed the Calling (and thus you also), will try to be at the next one.

My children don't swim very far or fast just yet, so taking them tends to make for slightly less worn-out-ness. On the other hand, I swam 30 lengths (over the course of an hour), which is a lot more than I expected to be able to do without sinking :-)

I'm still aching today (and have a really stiff neck), but at least my arms now work again, which they more or less didn't yesterday evening...

I love the new icon, by the way!

Aww, bless them! Give them time, they'll be like fish if you keep taking them! And well done you, it's years since I swam that far (getting old...)!

Glad you like the icon - I was messing with 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern' photos from last term! What a pity I couldn't get the neckline of the dress into 100x100 pixels....
