Stay positive.

I've somewhat neglected my blog this week on account of not having that much to say and generally being too fed up but I thought I'd better drop in on the off chance that someone may be reading this and waiting for some updates.

We buried Sonic last Sunday under the hedge in the garden. She loved sitting there and keeping cool in the summer. I think she started sitting under there when this little bird decided to keep dive bombing her a few years ago every summer. One minute Sonic would be sat in the garden or under the tree minding her own business then all of a sudden there would be a really distinctive tweeting and this bird would swoop down and try to peck at her. She must have realised that the hedge was the best place to hide. So that's where she is. I think she'd approve. We'll probably put some flowers and a little memorial thing there for her.

I went swimming on Monday with Claire and it all went smoothly until I decided to leave. Dewsbury swimming pool has a 'changing village' which is basically a unisex changing room with loads of cubicles with two doors. The lockers are th one side of the changing rooms and the enterance to the pool is at the other side. Instead of walking around the cubicles, it is faster just to walk straight through the vacant ones until you get to the other side. Well. I'd got showered and dressed and was ready to leave and in order to get to the exit, I decided to cut through the cubicles. This plan of action went well until I entered a cubicle that claimed to be vacant with it's little green thing on the door but when I walked in, I found that there was actually a half-dressed occupant yelling. I don't think she was too pleased. The moral of this story.... make sure both doors of the cubicle are locked people!

On the fitness front, I also went to to gym for the first time in ages on Thursday. I didn't do too much, just a couple of miles on the new treadmills and some weights. I must admit, I did get distracted by the pile of magazines on the windowsill and stopped to read them for a bit... but hey, when the gym's empty you can get away with anything. I was in pain yesterday, I think my body had gone into shock. Going to go in a bit to do some more, so no doubt on my next blog entry I'll be moaning again!

Over and out
