The more astute among you may notice I’ve changed the skin on my site. It’s taken a lot of blood, sweat and … swearing. I hadn’t done anything computer-ish for ages, and had almost forgotten how to upload plugins, tinker with code, all the nerdy things I got so good at in the early days. I think I really dig the new one - it’s kind of girly, and much less sparse than it’s predecessor. Let me know what you think.

Yesterday Miss M and I got to hang out for the entire day. It was parent teacher interview day at the school, so we got up late, read a Mary Kate and Ashley mystery, then walked Mr Dog. She waited in reception while I taught spin, then we did the interview, and ate cake afterwards. That is to say I ate cake, she ate ice cream. Then after I’d eaten cake, I bought some Blackmore’s Sugar Balance tablets, possibly a little too late, but then again, I haven’t eaten cake today. By the time 3pm rolled around, I’d had two cups of coffee, then last night I lay in bed and couldn’t sleep for two hours.

Part of the coffee drinking happened with one of my favorite clients, who had a baby five and a half weeks ago. I hadn’t seen her since the baby (Pip) arrived, so it was fabulous to catch up and meet him. That child has the best genetic chances of gorgeousness I’ve ever seen, and he’s living up to them already.

It’s rainy and cold outside in a big, big way. I caught the tram in and back today after getting saturated on my last ride yesterday. Just as I left home it started to drizzle, and I had a two minute window of time to go back and change. I thought “how wet can I get in fifteen minutes”, clearly forgetting every other time I’ve ridden in the rain. By the time I got halfway to work, the answer to my rather stupid question was “very, very wet”. Especially my bottom, which was soaking, even though I have a guard on my back tyre. Happily, one of my co-workers (Glen, you genius) suggested I use the hairdryers in the change rooms to dry myself. So I shorted out two of the three doing it. Don’t tell anyone, okay?

Today I’m loving: my ever expanding lunchtime yoga class - it’s a beautiful thing!
