Busted

Busy old morning really, I start off by finishing of my job application I mentioned yesterday and then head to town to post it. Whilst I'm there I also note down a number of contact details for the 3 new stores that are opening and are looking of employees - Marks & Spencer, Jessops and Costa Coffee. I'm not sure if I'll apply to these places yet, but its good to have the details to hand. I guess applying in volume is better than picking and choosing and ending up with nothing.

After I've done that the rest of the day is pretty much my own, but I do make it down the gym and have a good hour blasting along the treadmill, circulating on the elliptical trainer and pushing some weights. I do have a bit of an embarrassing moment on the seated leg press however. If you've ever used one you'll know that you have to sit on a seat, and put your legs up on a panel in front of you. The idea then is that you push on the panel and the chair moves backwards as you move the weights. You'll also know that in order to get enough leg extension on the push you have to adjust the chair so the starting position is as pretty close to the panel in front of you. Well to achieve this you have to imagine yourself in a flower press, because that's really what it's like! Anyway I was busy squishing myself into the machine and all of a sudden I hear a crack. Umm... that could either be a rib or something else I'm thinking but the absence of any pain I realise that in fact I've managed to bust my wired bra - the wire has snapped good an proper on one of the cups.

So that left me slightly lop-sided for the rest of the session :)

We watch Barry Trotter and the Tankard of Beer tonight, which I thought was ok, but Phil went to bed half way through, I guess mermaids, dragons and mazes aint his thing then :)
