Disorganisation

So it was very ad hoc, but that was an excellent plan. Lovely day, warm and largely sunny, and some nice friends over to char bits of meat over the bbq and drink lots and generally be sociable. We invited people from 3-4, lit up the bbq around 4:30, and stayed out til people were beginning to get cold around 8ish. At which point we retired to the living room, and the last stragglers left about 15 minutes ago. And I'm still not sure where the time between 10:30 and 1am went. Probably boozewards. Tired now and happy, and all tonight's telly (Dr Who and CSI) to watch tomorrow. Yay.

Weekly weigh in

This week I gained 1¾lb. Mildly disappointing, but I guess that's last week catching up on me, because with the exception of yesterday's BBQ I've been very good this week. Still, it's in the right general direction overall. Except when you notice that in fact you're no further on than you were two months ago. Feh.

God I'm tired

Late and drunken to bed last night, it appears that sometime caffeine does have an effect on me, cos I seemed to have some trouble getting to sleep. It did mean I got to listen to the storm and see flashes of lightning through the curtains though - pretty impressive. Today I've done some tidying, caught up on last night's telly and been out and fettled my bike. Quite a few jobs all in one there: cleaning the rims and then replacing the brake blocks; cleaning and relubing the chain; cleaning the frame a little and applying some shiny stickers; and removing the mounting kit for the old bike computer, attaching the new one, checking the wheel circumference, and setting the Mity 8 up. And then a quick spin up and down the street just to test it out. All very satisfying anyway, and nice to be out in the fresh air. But now I'm feeling very sleepy, and wondering about food, and if meeting people at the Carlton at 8 is a sensible plan. No doubt anyone reading this will be welcome to join Peter Benie there anyway, since he just suggested it on irc. Feeling a bit bad about leaving people out of things by not just inviting everyone to BBQ yesterday, but then it's not that big a bbq (or garden) and I just couldn't face coping with people who need to keep their food separate from everyone elses, or with a big party, so sorry if you were left out :-/

Perhaps I should curl up with a book. Not been reading much lately. (Nor updating LJ with the books I have read. Must do that at some point). Still umming and ahhing about Poptimism next Thurs. Do-able if I take Friday off, but I feel bad taking holiday when I've just been off sick so long. And will I even have enough energy to enjouy it much?
