In the spirit of my new 100 Posts in 100 Days challenge, here is a quick entry to chronicle what I did today:
Today was a fairly mellow Sunday. I started off by going to St. Andrew's Church, here in Headington, to ring bells for the morning services. Only four of us were intrepid enough to show up on a sleepy Sunday morning... which, alas, limited what we were able to ring.
After ringing, I returned to Chiron Beta Prime to make breakfast for myself and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cheshcat. Over tea and crumpets with damson jam[*], I read some more of my current non-fiction book, Paul Krugman's The Conscience of a Liberal. The book was a Yule gift from the gregarious gyades. The man knows me well -- when it comes to matters economic, Krugman is my heartthrob!
In the afternoon,cheshcat napped whist I engaged in such wonderment as producing an updated financial analysis for our household. Exciting, I know. On the plus side, we seem to be in pretty good shape right now! Then, when evening approached, I went into city centre to ring for services at my home tower -- St. Giles Church. The band was slightly larger -- six of us -- so we were able to ring some slightly more interesting methods, like Grandsire Doubles.
Returning home once more, my belovedcheshcat and I were had the pleasure of a cameo appearance from the lovely wolfpeach. He came bearing food, which made his visit even more awesometacular than usual! Then it was off to the Barton pool for me, where I hopped in and swam a mile. As always, it feels wonderful to get into the water -- tis the elemental in me!
When all was said and swum, I made my way back to Chiron Beta Prime once more and prepared dinner. Then I put my darlingcheshcat to bed and, once she was neatly tucked in, went out for a run. I recently started the NHS's Couch-to-5K programme, as part of my goal of doing an Olympic triathlon. The running part of this is 10km, which I will freely admit is beyond me at the moment. Current plans have me finishing the nine week Couch-to-5K scheme, then using it as a springboard to training for a 10km race later this year. Once I can do that, I should be in good shape to start serious triathlon training, as the swimming portion is only 1500 meters -- or 100 meters less than the mile that I regularly swim.
Finally, I came back home and curled up with LiveJournal, launching the 100 Posts in 100 Days project. As I said at the beginning, today was not a terribly adventurous day; I stuck around Oxford and did fairly routine things. Tis the dark season, which makes it a time more suited for focusing on goals close to home. Soon enough, the light will be returning in force and the outward excursions will resume once more. Until then, there is much than can be done to take full advantage of these dark days.
On that note, dear friends, I take my leave of you. Happy Sunday to all, and to all a good night!
