Reasons Today Was Awesome

Quote of the moment:
"Would you like my number?" - someone who understands my lack of speaking ability.

1. I turned up to rowing expecting a 5k, only to do a 1k plus evil circuits. Mmmm, medicine balls, my favourite.

2. Met my parents afterwards at Tesco Extra (which is near and on the way to/from the rowing club) and got my shopping done. Even after a £10 phone top-up I hadn't neared Vicky's demands given on Tuesday when they visited her, so I added a litre of Smirnoff. Well, it was £2.50 off.

3. Rents took me on tour of Cardiff Bay in search of Argos, so I wouldn't have to lug my shelves for my overflowing room back from the one in town. Failed, so went to the one in town and I lugged them back anyway.

4. Using the new inner tyre, with working valve (part of the Tesco shopping list) my Dad fixed my bike. I was just standing by and holding stuff occasionally.

5. I went to "Rubber Duck", the regular Wednesday club night, dominated by sports clubs. The rowing people were there, merry as ever. There are 3 reasons this was particularly awesome:

• i) I caught a Rubber Duck (yes, as in a mini bath one) with a VIP free entrance etc pass for next week's "Duck" attatched. Lineout skills demonstrated.
  


• ii) I also caught a Rubber Duck T-shirt. Got a hand to it, as did 3 other guys. Ripped and rolled like a pro, but it was a size "9-11"... kids/womens, I have no idea. I donated it to Steve's girlfriend (visiting from Liverpool) because it fitted her.
  


• iii) I spent the last 2 hours of the night in the company of a certain novice women's squad member, gradually being robbed of my collection of green glow bracelet things (it was a Traffic Light night). Number, name, halls, course, next training & social she's at, plus... filled the rest of the time.
