We have new matching bedside tables. Better than a pile of books I say! Also got a hedge clipper, rake and a few other bits and pieces as part of combined birthday/housewarming gift. :-)

Been a hot and stinky day but a good one all round.

Got back into the interval training this morning and fortunately, everything went well this time. Went for a cold shake and didn't wait quite so long before hitting the treadmill. Finished up with a small service of silicone spray and now she runs whisper quiet! Didn't realise how much of a difference it would make.

Would have liked to do kata or kettlebells this morning but had a little too much to sort out before my mother in-law to-be came around. The morning exercise left me feeling much better today and despite feeling incredibly sore was keen to get on with the extra. Oh well. That will have to be Friday given no karate.

Out for dinner tonight at Vino's. Should be nice! :-)
