STUFF what I have been up to

This week I have mostly been discovering that my productivity & motivation increases noticably when I manage to restrain myself from checking LJ until midday. I think there's something in there about setting the tone of the day, or something. I have also concluded that my FL is getting out of control again & will be doing a little pruning in a minute; so if I've taken you off it's not because I hate you, etc etc moo. (I know that one isn't obliged to *read* everyone on one's FL, but somehow I do feel obliged to. Although maybe I should experiment with a custom group called "I'm not going to read this". Anyway).

Had my second snowboarding lesson last night, which was once again much fun, although I was becoming highly irritated about halfway through when I spent bloody ages knowing exactly what I was *supposed* to be doing in order to turn from toe-edge to heel-edge (& indeed vice versa), but was incapable of actually making my body *do* it. Grr. Got the hang of it in the end, though, & am All Set for Saas Fee in a fortnight's time. Hurrah for snow!

Family dinner for my birthday (a bit belated due to over-full calendars) on Monday was lovely - Mum is, apparently, now fully converted to Indian food. Nice dates with both dogrando & kitty_goth, although date with Ben, being last night, involved mostly us hurling ourselves down different bits of Xscape, & nearly falling asleep on the train on the way home; but nice to get time anyway. Most of the rest of the week has involved domesticity, of the moving books around & general Sorting Things Out variety. I have also finally started putting all my journal pages & souvenirs & whatnot from my US trip into some sort of decent form - a mere 6 years after the trip itself. Splendid.

Tonight I am off to Southampton for a date with angelmine, hurrah!
