The world was on fire...

...and no one could save me but you...

I think the welsh woman whose name temporarily escapes me and who's standing for Vanessa Feltz played Wicked Game by Chris Isaac this morning - I can't swear to it as I don't think I was fully awake at the time - but it's stuck in my head all day. That's fine though, I love it. I have on my iPod an acoustic version which is just pure heaven.

This is the sunshine waking a sleepy Leeds at just before 7am today - a beautiful golden colour at this time of year. The the morning drive to work is headlight strewn now - with the odd misplaced, you effing idiot fog light this morning. Autumn is definitely trying to get a foot in the door and I love love love this time of year.

Swimming was great this morning - busy, but I really felt like the front crawl is starting to become natural. And still no foggy goggles!

Is it just me though, am I a prude? We have a single changing room for men and women in the gym, with cubicles obviously. There are 4 showers in the open, 4 in cubicles and a disabled shower room. I got into one of the middle shower cubicles after my swim today and when I took my earplugs out I realised I could hear 2 voices in the cubicle next to mine! Now, if a couple wants to shower together at home, that's their own business, but surely it's not appropriate in a public changing room?? I was mortified! I mean, I don't think they were actually doing anything (or, if they were, they were being quiet about it) but still!

Most if the rest of the day has been spent in displacement activities because I've got an electronic form to design and create and, whilst I've had training, I've not actually done it before and I've put it off for so long that now it's like a great big dark wall in front of me and I'm scared to even start it. Though I know once I do, it'll be fine! I've noticed that I do that with some frequency...

And this evening il mio amico Pietro has invited me to Classical Fantasia at Kirkstall Abbey on Saturday night, which I'm really looking forward to. I haven't seem him in ages, so it'll be lovely to catch up. He sounded so pleased that I said yes, which gave me a lovely warm feeling :-) I think I've mentioned that what's left of my family will shortly be moving away and to be honest I'm feeling a little bit abandoned, so it's nice to be wanted!

Roll on Saturday!
