Finally.

I was more than happy to get some exercise today after my lazy day yesterday. I squeezed in an hour's walk in the afternoon, and managed not to get caught in the rain. It looked likely but never came to anything. Ironically, as I type this the sun is shining and the weather looks better than it has been all day.

The funny thing about my walks is I definitely walk fast. I always have but obviously getting regular exercise and walking more, I'm doing it even fast now. This actually causes problems when going for a walk because while the distance may remain the same, the duration most certainly doesn't. It means I have to weave in and out of places just to try to make it a bit longer and interesting. Well, it's so much more fun than walking in a straight line, right?!

Tonight's main meal was a shoulder of pork. Don't ask me if it was the left or right one, all I know is it didn't have a chip on it. Just steamed vegetables and gravy, actually. It felt like a big meal, like I guess most Sunday dinners really are, in the traditional family sense. It was good, and I remembered to cut off the excess fat as I munched my way through it. Tastes bloody horrible anyway - I had a wee bit, that I couldn't get off.

The World Cup Final is finally here. Holland versus Spain. Such an event should be enjoyed with some cold beers, crisps and other treats, right? Wrong! Well, no, not wrong just not here. There is a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge but I'm not sure if I'm going to open it or not. This wasn't really planned, I think had I thought about it I would have got some beers in but I didn't, so oh well, the wine may be opened after all! For the record, it's not Spanish or Dutch wine!!
