Return to the blog

It's been a while. I've been distracted by myspace and facebook and flickr and things.

What's been happening? Last weekend is probably enough to write about.

In order to keep my diving log active, on Saturday I jumped into a pool and swam around for a bit. This way I don't have to do a review course next time I'm on holiday, and I save 40 quid in the process!

Later on I met Beth and Daniel at the Head of the River, where there was a stag do or something, the stag wearing fishnet tights, a sleeveless top, a trenchcoat, and a nurses hat. This reminded me of the large group of (ugh) students in the Lamb and Flag on Friday wearing hideously coloured costumes that made them look like bad 80s pop fashion victims trying to look like the 7 dwarves without spending any money. Sorry, I've no pictures of either group, visually entertaining as they were. What I do have is a picture of Simon in his new hat, taken at the surf-style smoothie joint in Oxford.

Anyhoo, the evening progressed well and ended up drunkely in the Honeypot. This meant that Sunday was a little, er, slow.

When I got to Ferry Sports Centre for my gym review the Alka Seltzer were only beginning to kick in, and 'dizzy' would be a mild descriptor of the less than pleasant symptoms I experienced for that hour. I wasn't much better during Bodypump (to which both Simon and Sarah came) later on.

Still, a good session watching Peep Show series 3 on DVD soon distracted me from the head pain, aided by more Alka Seltzer, and by evening I was only marginally below par.
