musings

I love Toblerone so much. SO much. The Co-Op is doing BOGOF on the 100g bars so it's £1.09 for two which is not bad. Am eating way too much chocolate in consequence.

I have discovered that Cancer Research UK are holding a fundraising 10km walk in October called Stride for Life and I think I might do it. I am going to purchase a swimsuit, some decent exercise trainers, another pair of tracksuit bottoms, and a sports bra, and try to exercise several times a week. I might even lose some weight, but this way it's not about the weight so much as working towards an event, and it might help.

Sleeping patterns still screwed. Am sleeping on sofa a lot in consequence, but the new sofa is big enough for this to be pretty comfy, so it's not a big deal.

We're going out to the Beijing Noodle House tonight, mostly to eat its Char Siu Bao (fluffy steamed buns with pork in). It's not a fantastic restaurant, and the decor is rather canteen-like, but the food's great. :)

Argh, 4.30! Time for shower.

Cancer research also do a 5k sponsored 'race for life' which is relaly good. Don't think I can do my local one this year. www.walkforlife.co.uk or similar I guess, or Tescos online...

Aaah, maybe you're thinking of http://www.raceforlife.org ?

I was contemplating doing that one if I am not well enough to do the Moonwalk (http://www.walkthewalk.org) in a couple of weeks' time.

I am very interested in this one in October though. :)

On this link: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/breastcancer/takepart/ it's the mention of sponsored walks about halfway down. There's no info up yet, they take your email address and will contact you nearer the time. It looks interesting, though, and about the right timeframe for me.

Char Siu Bao are wonderful and I miss living in Oxford where one could buy them from the chinese supermarket near the station.

Which one's that? I know there's one in Headington on Windmill Road but I don't remember where the other one is.

Hythe Bridge St. They're in the freezer. Just need a steamer to heat them up.
*want chinese supermarket now*
*discovers the nearest one to Exeter is Plymouth. Bah.*
*might have to travel to Oxford with a freezer box*
