Old Familiar

He won't like the 'old' bit, but he is familiar. J doesn't like having his photo taken much but as long as Im quick and painless and he's in a good mood I can normally get him to tolerate me for a few minutes.

J's had a busy weekend at work and was out last night so we've barely seen him. He's currently relaxing in the kitchen listening to David Rodigan on the radio while trying to think of an Easter related name for his reggae night on Good Friday. They've already had the 'Jah-bilee' over the Jubilee weekend and few others I've forgotten. So far they've come up with 'Easter Bunny and the Wailers' or 'Rise Up'.

Was up early for my run this morning. Just 7 miles as I wind down for the Half Marathon on Sunday. Going to spend this week trying to eat well and avoid overdoing things. I totally forgot to check the clock when I got in and realised half way through my lunch it was only 8:15 am! Ooops. I usually run later on a Sunday, just habit to crack open the bagels when I get back now.

Today L was a real tearaway. While I ate my lunch (breakfast) she was upstairs in my room (clearly she can reach the door handle now), emptying the tanning moisturiser all over our favourite bedding, the bed and carpet. Its the only posh stuff we have which we bought with some money we got for our wedding. While I was stripping the bed and trying to salvage the carpet she went downstairs to chuck the WIFI box and phones down the back of the sofa. I tried to retrieve those while she empties an entire tube of toothpaste over herself and the bathroom. She also stole 2 apples during the day and sneakily ate them under the kitchen table. All of this suggests she was probably after some positive attention but I was too busy with the restoration work where she had already been pretty busy to achieve this for a while.

We did manage to do some more hair accessory designs. They did good. Nothing broken, nobody harmed or lost :-)

Very much looking forward to having a positive week, training, food and sleep-wise.
