A while ago I used to get really annoyed when I had cancellations or rescheduled appointments. Now I love it (most of the time). I especially loved it this morning, when I came home at just before 8am and went for a run with Mr Dog, then lay in the park for about ten minutes watching brightly coloured birds fly around. I’d been intending to run at the gym, but then realised I could multi-task, and make my dog happy as well as breaking into a sweat.

While I was home I cooked … really cooked, which I haven’t done in ages, while listening to a mix tape (CD) my brother made (burned) last week. This is the recipe I made, and it was fabulous enough for me to have eaten it three times today. Easy, delicious … everything you could want in a recipe, including chickpeas.

While I’m discussing things I’ve consumed today, I’m in love with Nudie lychee, lemon and lime juice, and have had one almost daily this week. It’s taking the sting off my sore wrist, which my osteopath worked on a couple of hours ago. Courtesy of my bike accident there’s a chance I may have a fracture due to *falling on outstretched hand (funky acronym, huh?). Crazy wrists sometimes don’t feel pain right away, and it can take up to a couple of weeks for anything to show in an x-ray.

Whenever I see “x-ray”, it makes me think of a Blue Heelers script where we changed a guest character’s name from Ray to Tony at the last minute. The script co-ordinator consequently changed several mentions of medical imaging to “x-tony”. Several actors were highly confused - perhaps not for the first time.

Today I’m loving: the cute guy from the bike shop (yes, again)

My first aid instructor would be so proud …
