Mini Duo

Well, I've given my knee a weeks worth of rest so it's about time I got myself back down the gym before I give it up all together.

So I go and do the do, and it's not as harder work as I though but it's still a sweaty 2 hours of pounding myself around my usual circuit. Once I've done all that I then decide I should go into town and buy those extra bits for the scalectrix Phil and I had discussed - namely 2 new cars and some bits of track. After much deliberation I decide on getting 2 mini coopers to cover the car contingency - they are really good and have working headlights and rear lights so should look super for night driving. They've also go less bits to break off so should stand up to our rather bad driving skills :) I also get some banked corners, a jump ramp and some additional straights to make our track layout even bigger! I also decide that while I'm in town I should get a smart new pair of shoes (flats) for interviews and the like since I don't have any and they really would be handy now that I'm job hunting again.

By the time I get home there isn't much left of the afternoon and Phil is walking through the door not long after I do, and like any kid at christmas he's setting up the scalectrix with our new additions as quickly as he can open the packets :) I let him get on with that while I cook dinner and after we've eaten we have even more races (with and without lights) though I have to say the night driving is somewhat tiresome on the eyes!
