Yeah i forgot that your muscles hurt more the day after excercise...

Dropped Alister of at nursery in torrential rain today.  Grey, wet, freezing cold.  Then got the bus to Edinburgh.  Met a couple of people at Reed recruitment who are trying to get me into work.  Said I would temp full time until I get a part time permanent job.  Came back from Edinburgh at about 11 by which time it was a baking hot summers day.  Its now black and wet and miserable again.  Welcome to Scotland!

Got an eency weency bit of studying done (assessment due on Friday, havent even started it yet.....), then went for Alister to take him for his immunisation jags. There had been some trauma earlier apparently with the health visitors and they were running about 45 minutes behind schedule.  So we sat in a waiting room full of bored 4 year olds for that long.  Pure hell.  But Ally was a wee star, he didnt flinch or cry or complain about any of it, just sat on my knee and the 2 HVs went in on a 2 pronged attack, 1 arm each. I would have cried!  Oh and they dont give the polio stuff orally anymore so scrap my whinge yesterday about no sugar lump!

As a treat for being so brave I took the boy to the Pancake Place where he had pancakes with ice cream and chocolate sauce.  Happy days.

Back home now and he is not hungry enough for dinnerbut managed 2 slices of toast & peanut butter.  Ah well, it's not like he has crap for tea any other day!

Ordered myself goggles and a nose clip on ebay today.  The advice fellow WLR people on the Swimmers forum gave me was that swimming with my head under water wll improve my posture and my stroke andhelp me burn more calories.  All good.  Think I will put Al in the leisure centre creche tomorrow and have another swim. i really enjoyed the peacefulness of it last time.  God help me when the schools break up in a couple of weeks and the pool is full of spotty teenagers showing off in front of their mates.  Yuk...

Laters...
