I went to the gym this morning for the first time in close to 2 years. I did a 30 minute cardio bike ride. I’m happy that I did it, and it wasn’t as bad as I feared, but I have a looooong way to get back into shape.
Damnit.

Bank Holiday gardening bonanza
The in-laws were in town this weekend so we were finally able to put up the arch and the gate in the back garden to prevent the beastie from rampaging in the flower beds and eating every pebble in sight.
You can right-click to save/view a full-size version of this pic. I’m a bit annoyed that the pano software wasn’t able to fully remove some of the artefacts from the photo stitch but it still gives decent enough results.
We had a rather impressive BBQ on Sunday. For 4 people, I grilled sausages, chicken breasts, duck breast, pork koftas, venison burgers and sirloin :) This was accompanied by corn on the cob and roast potatoes and topped off with cheese cake.
It was a good meal.

RIP Farmville
After waaaay too much time probably better spent doing other things, I am finally giving up on Farmville. I’ve gotten bored with it. I’m tired of clicking. So, this is the final state of my “farm”.
FV became a chore more than a pastime a while ago and I was recently reminded of something amusing I read a while ago:
As you advance through Farmville, you begin earning rewards that allow you to play Farmville less. Harvesting machines let you click four squares at once, and barns and coops let you manage groups of animals simultaneously, saving you hundreds of tedious mouse-clicks. In other words, the more you play Farmville the less you have to play Farmville.
I’ve blocked the FV feed from my Facebook wall. That should reduce traffic by more than half :)
