Civil Unrest

We were woken up in the middle of the night last night with a lot of kerfuffle going on down the alley that runs parallel to our back garden with wheelie bins being knocked over and a lot of shouting going on. When we have a gander out the window it appears the police are chasing down some scrote for one reason or the other and the grand finale appears to be taking place about 20 feet from the house outside our back gate. Of course we completely fulfil the criteria for being nosy neighbours so we scoot to the front of the house where the police have taken the crimbo and it appears he's gotten himself a whole cavalry of police men and entourage of cop cars too.. and after a bit of a fight they manage to get him into one of the cars and ferry him away to spend the night in a cell.

Of course with all this going on I start to think that something may have happened to my car since it's parked directly in the line of trouble, so Phil and I both go out and check to see if any harm has been done. Which it hadn't, luckily, so we then try to get back to sleep.

So after all the excitement of last night I've spent all of today doing those forms I mentioned yesterday and now I've got a good template to work from I'm flying through them. However there are a few which are quite long and so take a bit more time to do. I've also taken the liberty of re-organising most of the forms so they are clearer and easier to understand and they're looking pretty good I have to say.

When I've had enough of staring at the screen I take a trip out to the gym - I'm quite pleased with my progress on the treadmill and I'm now running for about 15 minutes at a time with a few well placed walking breaks in between. I know it doesn't sound much but when I think about the first time I went on a treadmill and how cataclysmically bad I was, by comparison I'm almost a marathon runner!

On the way home from the gym I have a blat around in Phil's car with the roof down since it's such a nice day. I was almost tempted to go for a longer drive but sense prevailed in the end as I knew I had to get home and cook tea.

The rest of the evening was pretty dull, with just the usual Tuesday dross on the box. Never mind, Ice Age 2 is now in the cinemas so I'll be making sure that I go see that at some point in the very near future.
