So its absolutely chucking it down at the moment. It's been a really nice day all day long. Even managed to get a nice walk in the park before Kate had to go back to Oxford this evening. She phoned me up to let me know she got back at about 7:30 - 7:45 and she said "hey did you have a thunder storm"? I said "Nope. Quite nice here"
"Did you have a huge rain storm"?
"no nothing like that".
5 minutes after hanging up the skies opened. There you go it's been chucking it down.
Just having a look at the processor as the levels were a little bit high so I've just turned them down a little bit if you were wondering what I was doing looking at something else. But hey, that's by-the-by.
Yesterday I was bored out of my mind.
Kate was at work until six and it was a reasonable day as I recall. Being bored I didn't pay much attention to the weather.
Or was it?
Perhaps it was a bit dull. There was a reason I didn't go for a walk. I was going to go out for a walk so it might have been raining or cold or windy or something. There was a reason I didn't go for a walk. Or maybe I didn't want to go on my own because Kate was at work until six. Going for walk on your own can be a bit tedious even if you have an hours worth of music with you.
Yesterday I was a bit bored. When Kate got back we had a game of Jenga - the game where you have a stack of bricks and you pull out the bricks until it falls down.
We watched a film - K-Pax. What's the name of the actor? Kevin Spacey. He was starring. Quite a good film. I saw it at the cinema a couple of years ago, when it came out. One of those ones that in my opinion a lot of people overlooked coz I seem to remember it wasn't on at the cinema very long and it is a good film about a person who believes he is from a planet 1000 light years away called K-Pax. What is actually the case is he is a psychiatric patient. A traumatic event 5 years ago had given him with an alternate persona if you like, trying to block out what had happened in his past. So it was quite an interesting film. I quite liked it but maybe one that a lot of people overlooked. Who knows.
So we watched that - a couple of bottles of beer and Kettle Chips to go with it. So quite a nice little evening, a quiet day. A lot of yesterday evening, I just sat in my chair listening to Classic FM. Quite relaxing doing nothing else.
Today the weather hasn't been to bad. Quite clear. Didn't do much really. It's good isn't it? I can't even remember what I've been doing day-to-day. I definitely went for a walk. That was mid afternoon. Went for a walk through Admirals Park. Quite a nice little stroll for 45 minutes roughly. Of course I've got this pedometer that I mentioned earlier in the Lifeblog and your supposed to do 10,000 steps a day and it doesn't happen. I did 4000 steps in that 45 minutes. I worked out that to do 10,000 steps I recon you've got to do 2 hours of walking and your supposed to do that a day. How on earth I'm supposed to do that when I've got work, I don't know. I could walk to work but that would probably take a couple of hours - no an hour. I don't know actually how long it would take. It would take a while anyway. Longer than I really want to spend walking to work. I don't want to get up that early - I don't want to get home that late either. So that's not really an option. I've got to figure something out. As I said earlier in the Lifeblog it's going to be tricky but something's got to be worked out. Perhaps I'll give some serious consideration to going to Riverside gym. Not going back to Fitness First it's too expensive. But if I can do a pay as you go thing it will be a bit more reasonable maybe.
So we did the walk in the park, came back, Kate went off to Oxford about 6 and I've been sitting in here doing various bits on the computer. Playing around with video recording just compressing a few down to reclaim some disc space because it takes an immense amount of space to do this sort of thing.
That's pretty much it. I've been mirroring the NASA website fort the Mars Rovers that have been going on. At the moment it's been going for 1 day 6hours 16 minutes and 27 seconds. Stored 1.77Gb and I think it's going to go for a while yet as well so I'm not going to sit and watch that go. Nice to have a little archive of things that go on.
So that's today. I'm going to have a Pizza. That's my dinner and for this evening I don't have a clue. Sounds like fun doesn't it.
