Miles and Miles

Hi J-land peeps :o)  Hope this blog entry finds you well.

Here I am at 10.17pm on a Sunday evening having a bit of a boogy to the tunes on my mp3 player ~ I think I have lost the plot!!  This time of the evening is for winding down not going insane!!  I think it must have something to do with the impending concert I am attending tomorrow woohoo!!  Time off work ~ now there's a reason to rejoice if ever there was one.  LOL... Mind you I have to work in the morning and leave at lunchtimeish and go in Tuesday afternoon booooooooooooooooo.....(short break whilst I make my tea and go mad for the Foo Fighters ~ Aurora - love this track!!)

Back ~ did ya miss me??  Yep, thought so :)  Anyway I have not really done much today ~ needed to rest after yesterday lol.....Now your asking what did I do?  See I know lol.......

As the owner of the flat is due to turn up tomorrow whilst I am at work I have spent a lot of the morning yesterday cleaning and making it look tidy!!  I didn't do too much in the living room or the bedroom or the bathroom but the kitchen is practically sparkling!!  Well it was yesterday, it looks a little less sparkly today having used it to make cheesy bacon jacket spuds in it!!  That can be quite messy.  Still all the washing up is done, which is why I have my mp3 player on...........didn't want to annoy my neighbours with loud music so late at night!!  I've just updated the playlist anyway for the journey tomorrow :o)

Back to topic lol.........So I cleaned, then I had something to eat and a deserved sit down.  I watched a couple of episodes of Bleak House on DVD and then decided as it was such a sunny day I was going for a bike ride!!  Yep that's right my regular readers I do still have my trusty bike ~ you may remember it from the early days of Boredom Eats Away At Me.  However it's in desperate need of a service!!  It makes a clicking noise when I peddle and now it's started...well the best way to describe it is jump!!  The gears don't work and it's just a heap I suppose!!  After all the rain we've had though the clicking sound seemed to have disappeared so I thought I would make the most of this and venture out. (I love to cycle and going out with it clicking is embarrassing as I had little kids saying it was because I am fat!!  Now I know I'm a big girl ~ first to admit it but I have been a big girl since I've had my bike so I don't think that's the reason!!)

So I set off at a steady pace, thinking that with the jumping thing I am gonna have an accident if I'm not careful!!  It only does it when I peddle and start off......So down past the smelly factory, along by the river, across the bridge, along the cycle path and then detour across another bridge and along a path that I had a feeling was there but had no idea where it came out!!  Eventually I came out at Bridge Road which is miles (or felt like it anyway!!)  I had seen a part of Exeter I did not know existed lol...so down Bridge Road and debate whether to go back or carry on!!

Carry on won!!  I was enjoying the freedom and the exercise :o)  Across the road and down the path all along by the river.  I thought I would get to the motorway bridge and think that's enough...I got there but couldn't stop I was enjoying it far too much!!  I carried on to the lock by the ship yard near Topsham!!  I had literally gone miles...the only problem was i had to go back that way too and the bike was clicking again grrrrrrrrrrrr..at least people could hear me coming though LOL ;-) and get out of my way!!

So I sat by the river for a while enjoying the quietness and watching some of the 'nice looking' boys going past in their rowing boats :o)  After about so many minutes (didn't have my watch on me so no idea of the time) made my way back!!  It hurt coming back!!  My knee doesn't like cycling and was hurting :(  Still it must've been doing it some good hence why it was hurting!! 

I came back the long way round....why do i do that to myself?  LOL Made myself a cup of tea, and finished watching Bleak House (about six episodes in one afternoon ~ good televisual viewing me thinks!!)  I was actually out on my bike for 1 hour and 15 minutes :o)  yay me!!

My legs spent the rest of the day moaning about it *rolls eyes*  and they still don't like me today lol......so I have done nothing but sit!  Figured that was the best idea if I have to stand at the concert tomorrow!  So I watched Lilo and Stitch (good film) and spent the rest of the day on the computer!!  Finished one of my write up's so that's good.

I think this is turning into a long entry...but what's new from me huh??  So I shall log off now and look forward to the week :o)

Hope you all have a good one xx

P.s are you watching Dancing on Ice, how do you feel about poor Michael Underwood??  I thought it was really sad, I wanted him to win!! :(
