Bruises galore!

Another Monday morning... It is pretty quiet here at work again. A slight flurry of activity this morning when there were a few assignments to mark, but it's all over now. I am feeling very sleepy after staying up a bit longer than I should have last night. I was pretty exhausted after playing 2 games of touch during which I sustained several bruises. Here is an itemised list, just because:
  1. Top of foot - sustained when team mate stepped on me.
  2. Left shin - SIW sustained during 'karaoke' warm up exercise.
  3. Right shoulder - sustained during dive at run-away opposition team member
  4. Right just-below-the-knee - sustained during same dive
  5. Right hip - same dive

It's nice to have small injuries, makes you feel like you might have achieved something. Although it was exhausting playing 2 games in one night, it was also great afterwards to feel so worn out. And our team is playing much better now which is encouraging. Tangible improvement is always better than winning I reckon.

It seems like the hot weather has left us for now. The house has finally cooled down to a normal temperature and I can sleep! We still have no couches or pots and pans, but we are getting around that and it has become normal to boil water in the frying pan and watch TV from the floor. It's certainly giving me more opportunity to do my stretching which I generally neglect badly.
