hellisonBleh. Rainy rainy grey monday. Tho the sound of the rain on the roof here is quite soothing.
Had a lovely, relaxing and mostly hermit-like weekend.
Friday, came home, had popcorn and fizzy wine while crying at Coronation St. Even tho I am not a soap fan ;p Still, it was well done. Then watched... other stuff, can't even remember what, til bedtime.
Saturday was a totally hermit day. Long lie in, followed by much lying on sofa reading. Didn't even bother mudding really, just... lolled. Only ventured out to go to tescos for bread and cat food. Tried out lovely new cat boots tho, which are good - aren't taking as much breaking in as I'd feared and are helping the whole walking crutchless thing loads. Then more sofa, reading and tv. Including TWO episodes of Deadliest Catch. I fear greatly that I may be getting sucked in *worries*.
Sunday was more sociable, with family stuff and actual House Leaving. Which was good. Also discovered I can now pick up my niece and carry her again, which pleased the little princess no end. Then rounded off watching Aliens V. Predator, which I enjoyed greatly. BOOOOM! Tempted to go see the new one now in the cinema when it comes out ;)
One quick question tho for the more Fitness Enabled types among you. The... bugger EIGHT months now of Just Sitting has left me totally unfit, and since my usual forms of exercise - walking, riding, swimming - are still pretty much out, I have no idea what to do to to start getting fit again. Even going up and down stairs doesn't help cos I go so slowly it doesn't really take any effort.
There must be something I can do at home tho. Still considering getting an exercise bike just to get started, and build up the sadly absent leg muscles.
Any other suggestions?
ETA on a positive note, just walked the whole way to shop for lunch AND back without using the crutch! Even got up and down kerbs! Go me!

Dan's further suggestion is midget kicking
I think him working from home today has addled his brain - if he ever had one
Going to kick him
