...so it might as well be here.
I was told the first rule of blogging is to only post when you have something to say so I've been waiting for a few weeks for something great to happen so I could post about it. That's probably not the point! So, here it is. The first post won't be misleading in any way, at least. The humdrum details of my day and a dumping ground for my thoughts and ideas.
Despite my wishes, I am not actually a small crusted reptile; able to sleep all winter and spend the waking parts of the year basking in the sunshine and eating. Instead, I am struggling through the winter with another cold. The worst part about a cold is the runny nose - more specifically, when the nose gets all sore and the skin goes crispy. Argh.
Yesterday, I foolishly followed a link shared by a friend who I am slightly in awe of. The article was all about how wrong it is to put two spaces after a full-stop when typing. This is something I've always done without even thinking about it so I was quite surprised. But, in my normal, insecure way, I have taken the article to heart and am typing this entry with single spaces only (hopefully!).
Tonight is hockey training night. I've looked forward to training this season for the first time in ages. A proper coach, a great team and varied sessions makes it so different to the last few seasons where hockey became one of the things I do rather than something I loved doing. I'm glad to say the hockey love is back! Much more about hockey in later posts.
Plenty to look forward to this week. Thursday and Friday off-work with some jobs and appointments but also a bit of time to myself, which will be a treat. Today is my sister B's birthday. We had a family party on Sunday and I'm going up to meet her in London on Saturday night to eat tapas and celebrate her birthday with her friends. Maybe a few cheeky cocktails? We were both at a wedding on Sunday - yes, a February wedding! - where the bride wore a scarlet dress. A wedding-dress-style dress but scarlet. Wow. It was definitely the best day of the year so far weather-wise and we were outside in the sun of the afternoon in just dresses and cardigans.
Time to head home now. An hour long commute makes the day feel endless. I'd better start getting more cheerful before hockey, too. Sorry for a grumpy first post but it is Winter and a tortoise would rather be sleeping!
