Day 2

Hello everyone,

Today, my law tutor said that you should begin things as you intend to end them. I'm pretty sure that he was referring to always doing the readings, but I intend to write a blog post as close to every day as I can. I promise you that I'll do my best to keep them interesting haha.

The food today was EXCELLENT. That 12WBT Spanish chickpeas meal is out of this world. I couldn't wait to get home and have my leftovers for lunch today :) Ended up having the banana on toast again, as I overslept a bit and didn't think I had enough time to boil an egg. I'm learning though :)

And the beef with mustard sauce? TO DIE FOR. I love and adore both red meat and mustard sauce. Pork and mustard sauce? Yes please! Beef and mustard sauce was a combo that I don't think I've tried before, but it was excellent. Might have to start eating mustard next. I never thought I'd say that!!

Also, I realise it was supposed to be mushroom sauce, but mushrooms are awful. They are literally fungus. No-one is any better off for having eaten mushrooms.

The toning workout today was hard! Did anyone else think that? I did all of the exercises to the best of my abilities, but that clam one had me. I mean, I could do it - knees off the floor and everything! But it had me swearing (sorry Mum!). And I've discovered that the exercise with the park bench (I've got it set to outside currently) is much harder when you do it with a dining chair. Who'da thunk that you would spend half your time rearranging furniture? I don't know how many times I had to stop what I was doing to pull the dining chair towards me again. Maybe I was doing it wrong?

Also, funny story: I went to buy a skipping rope today, and got a 'digital' one at Big W for $10. All that ''digital' means is that it has an inbuilt counter which works out how many times you've skipped. Excellent, right? Except that when I looked, it was counting down from 999. I kept resetting it and it kept doing it. Finally worked out that I was holding the handles in the wrong hands, and it thought I was skipping backwards.

Moral of the story: the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over again and expecting the same results. Except that Einstein said it better.

Love to you all,
Alex xoxo
