I had a terrible week. I was so tired on Sunday after a really busy weekend (I’d been out for lunch and dinner every day since Thursday)… Pete texted me on Sunday evening to see if I was ready for some heavy lifting the following morning. I replied that I was! But I woke up …
After the craziness of the week before, this week was quite the opposite. I woke up on Sunday with a scratchy throat. I knew I was going to get sick soon. I left home at about 1pm to deposit a cheque at the new bank where we have our business account. We used to be …
After another crazy weekend, I was exhausted. I had a session with Trevor on Sunday morning and went to work. That evening two friends and I had signed up for a Restronaut event at Spill the Bean, a coffee shop at the mall. I’d been on the Restronaut mailing list for several months but this …
The first half of the week was quite quiet as I wasn’t very well – I had a terrible cough and sore throat after the heavy weekend I had. I was home until Tuesday afternoon when I went for my piano lesson. What I love about the piano is that no matter how rubbish I’m …
I had a really busy week with work and it was a heavy social week too! After my session with Randy on Sunday, I had a few errands to run – send out a transfer from Standard Chartered Bank in Mankhool, pay one of my mum’s bills in Karama, and meet a friend for lunch …
I had my usual Sunday morning session with Randy. After I finished my 5-minute warm-up on the cross-trainer I did the first circuit: Side plank with a twist x 12 on each side Dead lift (with 20-lb weights) x 12 Toe reaches x 20 I did that three times with a break in between each …
I woke up on Sunday feeling ill again. I felt a little feverish and I’d been up half the night coughing. I apologised to Randy and told him I wouldn’t be able to have my session with him. I felt OK to go to Sumo Sushi for lunch – it was just my dad, my …
I woke up feeling like rubbish on Sunday. I’d felt it coming on the day before but hoped it was just one of those 24-hour bugs. I spent most of the day in bed. I spent most of Monday in bed too and missed my Arabic class. I felt tired, feverish, and had a slight …
I didn’t have a session with Randy on Sunday as the schedule for my Arabic classes for the week had changed. There would be three classes instead of two – on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Sunday we covered: What our jobs are (engineer, lawyer, teacher, psychologist, freelancer, etc.), where we work (private company, Government, …
Wow, I’m so behind with my writing! So, after my exhausting weekend when I got locked out, I met my friends from London for lunch at Jones the Grocer. I had the rocket and feta salad with grilled chicken. I was tempted by the burger but decided on the healthy option (for once!). After lunch …
