Achtung Weir!
Quote of the moment:
"Bow pair, from backstops, row... No, ROW. BLOODY ROW!"
Went out in the boat today for the first time in at least 2 weeks. Was on the bow side again, which was fine, unlike the last time. Boat was "bow rigged" meaning the normal sides were swapped, which didn't help Olly, the vice captain, in his first attempt at coxing... we came a little close to going over the weir (see above) at the start, stuck the bow in the bank turning around and went close to the bank too early at the landing stage and ended up stuck with the oars in some reeds. Weather was good though!
Stayed behind to do some ergos and James and Olly came up to see one of the senior ladies who was in there too. They were suprised to find me doing a second 2k in 24 hours... until I told them I'd already done one with a ten minute break after. I did a third as well. Reasonable times too: 7.27, 7.25 (yup - I got faster!) and 7.38, compared to a measly stand-alone 7.15 in the test.
Met "someone" (aka Rowena - as in Ivanhoe). Toured around the shopping area, found out she has an xbox. How awesome. A chick with a console. Not unheard of, obviously, but I haven't met one til now. Went to see Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Cracking stuff :D
Went out to watch the fireworks by the castle from across the river (ie without paying) with Little James, the only one of K3 still here. Came back, played Halo 2, came back to my flat/room to read Going Postal. Big up the Pratchett massive. I agreed to go to the gym with him at 11 tomorrow. Am only 10 minutes over the recommended hour of ergos for this week, after all. I can do so much better than that!
P.S. Wales 3-41 New Zealand. Saw the crowds before and after. LOL.
