Red faced and sweaty

I'd decided to go to a step class at the gym in Porirua today but hadn't realised my watch was fast and I saw the bus go. "Never mind," I thought, "I'll get the next bus and do the litepace class an hour later, after I've been to the shops." But when I got to the gym I was told that class doesn't restart for another few weeks. So I did 30 minutes on the treadmill, and some time on the bike. The result? red and sweaty - but I burned a few calories and got my heart pumping, so that's good.

A year ago today I took a shot in the dark at our housewarming party.
