Moving times!

Busy busy busy week!

Started off with a very strange spinning session as our usual “slave-driver” Greta was away, followed by a session at the gym. I then managed to do my second decent 2 mile swim in a row on Tuesday, I’m trying to vary what I do and I find swimming stretches all the muscles better than any other exercise, I’ve always loved the feeling of being in water nothing beats it!

Things then picked up on Wednesday with a shattering night, played 7-a-side footy in St John’s for an hour, followed by going straight to the gym at 7:15 for another hour. Then down to the NSC for squash with the hockey guys at 8:30!! Certainly slept well on Wednesday night was knackered!

Thursday I had some great news, not only did my spangly new trainers arrive (and actually fit) but I finally managed to get the keys for my flat! This was meant to be sorted by Christmas, but it has been delayed again and again due to various problems, windows with no planning permission etc. etc. etc. Buying a house is definitely one of the most stressful things you can do!!!! Still, it was fantastic to finally get in there but the only problem was I missed hockey training because I was packing my life up to move! I figured after an epic Wednesday I could afford to have a night off, but it was almost as tiring sorting my stuff out!

Finished the working week with another spinning session on Friday and then spent my first night at the flat. I’d like to claim it was cold weather training for Kilimanjaro to sleep in the freezing cold flat but in truth I couldn’t get the bloody heater working!! The weekend was pretty chilled out, trying to sort things out at the flat and played a shocker at hockey on Saturday, went 2-0 down in the first half because could barely see the ball against the blinding sun! Managed to win the second half but went down 2-1 in a game I didn’t feel we were second best.

Valentine’s day on Sunday, had a very romantic day by walking down Marine Drive then back round to Douglas with Marky B and then bought some stuff for the flat! We managed to resist the temptation to hold hands but looked very gay looking round B & Q on Valentine’s day!

End of another busy week but at least I had a freezing cold flat to put my feet up in on Sunday night!
