Ouchie ouchie ouch!

Yesterday I managed to make it to the re-started karate club.  This was the first time I've done any karate in about 5 or 6 weeks, and all I can say is "Damn, my legs are stiff today".
Turns out I know the guy who's now taking the club, as I'd met him a couple of times at day courses at Whiteinch, so that was good.
Still a bit run down from having flu last week, so for me it was a bit hard going, resulting in falling asleep in front of the tv when I got home last night.  The knock on effect of which, was that when I did go to bed I couldn't sleep, and ended up getting up and watching the first two parts of A History of Horror, which was excellent.  Part one covered the silent movies and Universal/RKO, and part two Hammer/Amicus.  I've still to see part three, which covers the new wave of horror, which gave us Night of the Living Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Looking forward to it.

Bleurgh

Since getting back from holiday, I've missed the Motorhead gig, by forgetting to buy a ticket before I went away, and coming back and thinking I HAD bought a ticket.  Result?  No gig for me.

I've also been laid out the the last five days with the flu.  The downside was well, I had the flu.  There was a plus side though.  I had ten Star Trek movies on the PVR (every one bar the re-boot movie), and they are now all on dvd, so the time spent off work, wasn't a total waste.

Now though, it's a case of normal service has been resumed, with me back at work.  I still need that bloody lottery win :-)
