Perfect balance

Today I managed a perfect balance between fun, thesis and house work meaning I feel guilty for nothing... first day in ages I havn't felt I have sold myself short on something. I managed to re establish the flower bed out front as it had been colonised by the lawn. Unfortunatley I now ache badly in my right thigh from all the gardening of the last two days.

Other than that I helped the bf pick out a suit for a wedding later this month, I have set the hosepipe up so I can water the veg (I need to also plant more stuff in the alotment) and been reading my thesis book which is very interesting and I think I can turn into an interesting lecture for my students. It is on the match between canine and human personality and I can test them and use that to determine if they would suit dogs they have preselected as being appropriate companions. It should make for a different lecture for them anyhow :)

I am also arranging for my mum and I to do the race for life and go swimming once a week... as soon as this work finishes (that seems to be something I am saying an awful lot at the moment. I was complaining to her that I hadn't done much self development as I had planned a series of books I was going to read. In three months I have managed to finish off my autobiography of the Duchess of Devonshire, read Jane Austen's biography and Emma... not really as much as I had planned. I also wanted to get the lounge decorated as I am fed up with the poor painting and colours of the last people who lived here (black skirting boards).

I am now off for a long soak and to try to get through some more of one of my books (I am going to try and get back down to only reading one book and not about four of them)
