little musings

I thought I would give you an update on the 'Going Away For Gavin' proposal. I'm not doing it; going away I mean. The temptation was only financial, and after the joys of half-term week I just don't want to be away from the family, and that's all there is to it.

My tooth seems to have settled down after switching back to sensitive toothpaste.

I thought my blog challenge for March could be to post only on odd dates, but then that felt a little lazy after I posted EVERY DAY in March last year. It also felt a little restrictive, and I don't like to limit myself when things might pop up that I really feel the need to share with you.

Philippa is going to start playing badminton again, which I am equally pleased and disappointed about. Pleased because her fitness has always been important to her, and I think it's good for her to have something fun to do away from work and family, and because I have always thought she looks amazing in her little outfit (sorry, feminists - I still find my wife stunningly attractive and sexually alluring). Plus, she always benefits mentally from a good game. But disappointed too because it means not seeing her for a couple of hours once or twice a week, and because there'll probably be a social aspect to it too, with meals out occasionally and all that 'forced friendliness' rubbish that I am just not very good at.

Cardistry is going well, but is not an easy thing to pick up. I think I need to have a long run of days where it's all I'm doing, because just trying it for half-an-hour here and there isn't really enough of a commitment to get better at the rate that will keep me enthusiastic. Maybe I'll book a week off work, lock myself away in a Premier Inn, and just go for it. I'm sure Philippa will understand...
