Damn school library sales. My “no buying books” scheme went out of the window today. On the other hand, I did get two full series (Churchill’s The Second World War and all the Lemony Snicket books in hardback) and only a small number of other small books. I also vacuumed up a ridiculous amount of cake.

Note: not my trainers, but indicative of the fact that I headed out with the school running club again this evening. That’s me on two afternoons a week and I’m genuinely feeling much better for it. The only problem I now have is that meta-fit starts back up again next week on the same evening at the same time. Argh.

Sunday afternoon and, due to the little one being a poo this morning, we didn’t go swimming. Making it up to her big bro by helping him build his first Airfix-not-Airfix (it’s Revell) kit. Can you guess what it is yet? And what film we’re watching at the same time?

Week after week this bunch (and a few others) put up with my unfit attempts to improve my Krav Maga skills. This isn’t actually the usual bunch, but a couple of new starters and “guest instructor” Amelia due to John being indisposed. A great class covering some simple things I’ve not really practiced before, but the absolute highlight was Amelia approaching me after I’ve been helping a couple of the newer students and asking if I’d ever considered coaching adults. High praise and hugely flattering coming from someone who’s such a damn good instructor in their own right. Yes, I have considered it, but the additional strain on my free time (plus the cost / time to pass the GIC) is just too much for me these days. I’ve said it before – I wish I’d got into Krav a decade earlier than I did!
