Exercise

I am quite pleased at the exercise I have done this week. I went walking on Tuesday and it was the hardest one ever I think, we went the steepest way up to Darwen tower, it was only the sight of the walking guides bottom in front of me that was keeping me going :-D like a donkey with a carrot :-) and I joined the gym yesterday and spent about an hour in there, 10 mins on each machine. Next time I am going to go swimming afterwards , that is if I can remember how to swim.

Strange behaviours

I thought while I am posting my thoughts on this blog, I could also write down my strange sleeping behaviours. I often wonder if there is a pattern to these behaviours or if they happen only when I drink alcohol etc. So, last Thursday I had been out for a curry and a few pints (yes i did drink again!) and I awoke in the night with T shouting at me, apparently I had been punching him in the face and chest, which he was not pleased about. No further disturbing nocturnal activities of note since then. Well it is 24 oC outside, odd for September methinks, so why am I sat indoors on the computer?!! Well I should really be sorting the washing out for Monday but I am going to go in the back yard and read the instructions on how to work my camera. I am not one for instructions, I like to work it out for myself, but this time I have been beaten by the technology.
It is 10 oC in Iceland (don't know how to get the degree O on here), why on earth am I going to this cold place? I have bought a big coat from outdoor action, a bargain at £20, it is not exactly fashionable but I just want to be warm, and I'm sure I could go to the north pole with this coat and be ok.
I've just had a coffee to keep me awake, I have been so tired this week, I am on nights but have too much to do to stay in bed all of today. I feel sick, coffee does not agree with me.

New Blog

Hello there. Here is my new blog, it will probably be incredibly boring. The thing is, on my other blog I had written accounts of my recent travels and put photos on, and it is so good to read back about my trips a few months down the line. Problem is, my other blog also delves deep into the dark recesses of my mind, so I wouldn't be able to give the link to anyone I know in real life without dying a 1000 deaths! So if I put holiday snaps on this blog, I can perhaps show them to people, if anyone is interested.

Time to do some cleaning up, my bedroom is worse than the rats cage. I have got sore knees from falling down on Saturday, I keep kneeling on them forgetting that they are injured, and that is very painful. Everyone has fallen out with me after my behaviour on Saturday, I don't mean to upset people but I always end up falling out with everyone. It always boils down to one thing, if I am having a good time I want to stay out til like 6am and I get arsy with anyone who wants to go home earlier, even if I can barely stand up and am acting like a dick head. I have been reading the guide books on Iceland, it says people don't go out until 11pm- ish and stay out til morning time - this sounds good to me :-) If anyone goes out with me again I will behave and go home when I should do, this will be more possible if I do not order a bottle of wine in the postal order! I am also looking into getting a phone with an inbuilt breathaliser so it has to check my soberness before I text people. I really am not going to drink much when i go out again - I have decided alcohol is the root of all evil.
