Swimming

Swimming: 24 lengths (~600m assuming a 25m pool). Definite improvement on the 16 lengths of the last 2 times. Need some sort of braclet signaller that pings a reciever in your bag and uses your proximity to the receiver to keep track of lengths. Or I could just get better at counting lengths.

So, the plan is definitely for swimming Tues and Thurs evenings after 7:30pm (though not too far after given the pool shuts at 9pm) and Sun morning after 10:30am. Which with 10 swim cards on each ($4 per swim weekend (less if you buy more at once) and $3 per swim weeknights (appart from school holidays)), should work out at about $10 per week. I'd be curious to know how that compares to most gym memberships.

No battle today (rain), battle next Sun. Time to finish the Rabid Weasel tabards then. Though Z stayed behind and worked on the Rabid Weasel shields.

Weekend

So, Fri evening. Gaming with the usual suspects (well, they gamed and I lurked in a corner and read Charles Stross)

Sat: Various people around to work on tabards and shields for the battle against(or for, depending on choc fish rates) the ALFs and Salient. Much sewing, gluing and spraypainting. Missed Earthhour itself with much needed fish and chips, blobbing and a scenic tour of Johnsonville and Newlands. But things sorted themselves out in the rain and we spent the remainder of the evening nattering with people and exchanging domesday scenarios with the best of them.

Sun: Swimming in the morning, lunch, finished book*, then nap in the afternoon. Woke around 5pm... Since then it has been dinner, next book, and banana muffin making. Substituted oil for marge, so will be interesting to see how they turn out. And meanwhile, Z is getting on with some calligraphy.

Had all sorts of plans for shopping etc today (groceries, spices and a frying pan etc), but they sort of got napped through. Oh well.

Time to try a muffin. Virtual muffins to all those who want one and can't grab one. I'll leave you with the smell of freshly baked banana muffins wafting out of your hard drive...

* Halting State by Charles Stross. Not quite as good as the Laundryverse ones but better than the Clan ones.

** Day Watch. Quite different to the movie so far but still a good read.

Edit: banana muffins work :) Now need a muffin tray of own so can stop borrowing alpha_angel's good one...
