• Won free tix to go see Talib Kweli and Jean Grae at the Jazz Cafe last week; my mate J accompanied me at the last minute, we had delicious Japanese at the place next door before we went in, and DAMN it was a great show! Fucking awesome! Can't wait for the Roots on the 19th now...
• Did track & field in Reading on Saturday. Got sunburnt, roped into all the usual embarrassing events like pole vault and discus in addition to the usual 800m, 1500m and 3000m, and then got an hour of sports massage on my legs for THREE QUID! Marvellous! But a bit depressing too since I'm getting slower and slower as the season goes on and it gets longer and longer since I last did any speed training. Roll on the summer hols and a chance for me to take a breather and get back training at the club!
• Have started swimming a couple of times a week at the fab new London Fields Lido, it will probably get too busy over the summer hols, but right now it's just perfect. But boy do my legs and arms ache in places I had forgotten there might be muscles.
• Talked to ex-M this week. It was sad but really good at the same time: I really do miss his friendship and companionship. And - gulp - he's going to come to London to visit. Half of me can't wait to see him and wants him to get the hell over here TODAY! The other half of me is wary for my heart...
• I've relented and finally joined facebook due to Caro being in Egypt, and actually found a couple of people on there I thought I'd lost touch with forever. So if you're on facebook, look me up ;-)
