Deadliest catch, ice packs and BMWs

This evening, and tomorrow evening, Matt is once again away with work.  The price you pay for having a brilliant boyfriend is that other people demand his presence!

I am also in demand tomorrow, for a meeting in Warwickshire.  Pool car BMW 3 series?  Yes please, don't mind if I do.  The only issue being that I manage to finally get to play in a proper BMW just about the time of year when BMWs render themselves completely useless.  I can tell you that with absolute certainty, having seen many of them stuck / about to get stuck in the recent snow.  Still, the Fez is having a holiday, locked in her car park cage at work, and she deserves some time off and to rest her little hooves for a change.  Did I mention how comfortable that BMW is?  I've never understood why people prefer them for longer distances.  Now I know why.  Getting stuck in traffic earlier was not even the slightest bit stressful.

I've just been watching the Deadliest Catch.  Amazing how nail biting catching crabs can look!  I actually felt for them - working 30 hours in a row to pull in crab pots in -20c temperatures.  I hope they make some money with it!!!

Now it's Masterchef.  I'm not sure that I can continue watching, as I might be tempted to smash the TV is anyone makes a "jus" or a "foam" or anything else pretentious.  There is no doubt that these people are seriously good cooks, probably far better than I'll ever be, but I just wish that they'd make something brilliant that is actually possible.

Well, no gym for me tonight.  After back pain since Thursday night last week, I've managed a session on Friday, a swimming session on Monday and then real pain yesterday.  So tonight I have an ice pack on my back and am trying to move carefully.  Don't need to have pain tomorrow with a long drive times two, that would suck!!

So no Matty tomorrow either, but then doggies are being good for a change and the cat is waiting for lap space once I've finished typing.  Time to settle down for an hour or so before bed.

Miss my Matty.
