Hmm. So I left the Calling early as usual, but unusually it wasn't so much because I was tired as because I was ravenous, for no obvious reason since I hadn't forgotten to have dinner or anything like that. Perhaps my unaccustomed bout of exercise yesterday morning was to blame (although I can't easily imagine that, since it didn't burn that many calories!). Accordingly I grabbed a burger from Gardies before going home, and was disappointed to find it soggy and substandard. I'm sure they were much better when I was an undergrad.

I was still pretty tired by the time I went to bed, though, and slept like a log … but still woke up half an hour early, so I had nothing better to do than go running again. If I keep this up, I'll either get fit or start sleeping better, which I suppose is better than doing neither of those things. Could still do with a way of achieving both at once though :-)

My shoulders are stiff this morning. My legs are stiff too, but that's easily explained by the running. But I had no idea my shoulders were putting serious effort into running as well!

Prue came round this evening, for dinner and more Scrabble. After being beaten by one point and then again by two points in previous games, I was mildly worried that she might win again by three or four; but in fact my honour was thoroughly satisfied, as I won one game by a convincing enough 21 points and the other by a perhaps excessively smug 55. (I managed to empty my entire hand in one go for the first time ever, and the 50-point bonus from that was pretty much unassailable.)

I suppose I'd better go and wash up now. (That's the trouble with guests. If I'd been on my own I'd have washed up straight after dinner and not have it still to do…)
