Catching Up

I seem not to have been blogging for a while. No particular reason, but I just haven't felt like it. Anyway, this is just a quick catch up post.

Running is going well - I did an hour this morning and felt fine. Whenever I look down to see where my right knee is going, it's going to the right place (ie above the second toe, rather than collapsing in like it used to). My physio was pleased with progress when I saw her on Monday, so I don't have to go back again unless I have problems. Now I just have to start doing a third run in the week, and I have the basis for my marathon training all set.

What else? I've been out a couple of times - once in London after a day working onsite for one of my company's clients. I saw an old friend and we had sushi at Moshi Moshi in Liverpool St. She's looking for a new job, so if anyone is looking for an experienced C++ developer in London let me know and I'll pass your details on.

Then the other Thursday I went out with some old friends from college at the Kingston Arms in Cambridge. We were joined by Jay and one of her friends and a good evening of drinking and talking ensued. I can't drink beer like I used to though - I was wasted after 5 pints, although I didn't seem to suffer too much the next day.

That's about all, except to recommend the Thursday night comedy on BBC2 - Extras didn't quite get going, although there were some excellent cringe-making moments. Mitchell and Webb were genius - I loved the SS Officers sketch ("our badges are skulls - does that mean that we're the baddies?") and the drunks who think they are heroic crime-fighters (that one could have come straight out of my brother's imagination in fact). I wasn't expecting much from Mock the Week, but it was great. The bit about the dinner witch had me creased up, but too long to quote. Maybe it's on YouTube somewhere.
