Shout out to Lucy for coming up with the title for this week’s post. It’s a good’un.
Let’s get extremely British right here. I got a free cup of
tea today and it was the best. It may
have required that I pretend to be part of the university open day (that I’m a
second year student at) but it was so worth it. Going to the library on a Sunday
morning isn’t so bad.
Tea anecdote included, I have had a splendid week. On Monday
I went to a kick boxing class with a couple of my housemates. I have never been
sporty and have never tried kick boxing or anything like it so I was very
nervous when we walked in to the boxing gym and I felt completely out of place.
The hour long class was absolutely knackering and it took me until Thursday for
my legs to recover. For a good three days stairs were my worst enemy. It is
such a good way to keep fit though and builds up upper body strength. I’m going
to try the class a couple more times to see if I enjoy it more but maybe Zumba is
more my forte?
I find exercise classes much better than going to a gym, it
is too easy to pay for a gym membership and never utilise it. I made myself go
at least twice a week in the spring but I will admit that, with nobody to push
me, I would often stand on the cross trainer texting. My thumbs are in great
shape.
Last night I went see The Wombats perform at Plug, a Sheffield
night club. I’ve heard from a few people how good they are live and the gig was
really good. They played a good mix of tracks from their new album ‘Glitterbug’
as well as the older crowd pleasers. I don’t go to many gigs since I don’t pay attention
to tour announcements or ticket sales but last night was a lot of fun.
Post library (and did I mention the free tea?) this afternoon I went out for
lunch with some friends. What do you need to finish of a great week? Answer: a
delicious Sunday roast. Being away from home makes me appreciate a Sunday roast
more than I ever used to. We went to ‘Anchorage Bar’, an American East Coast
style bar in Sheffield city centre. It was a lovely place to eat, comfort food
at its best with reasonable prices and friendly staff. It was a Sunday treat
that didn’t break my student budget.
I hope you have a fab week!
