what language should I learn?

You Should Learn Chinese

Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.
You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!


See I knew there was a reason that me and Hubby should be together. If only my mandarin or Cantonese were any good!

Today we have been busy cleaning the rest of the house. Our cleaner comes on a Friday, she is fairly reliable but does miss the occasional week every few months. However since the builders have started she has been once in the last four weeks. Grrrr. We don't pay her is she doesn't turn up. But she sent a lame text on Saturday saying the builders were still here. I interpret that as 'I walked in and saw all the dust and dirt, and thought no way, and left again!'.

We also managed to go for a run, it was quite warm today, 14 degrees Celsius. According to my GPS watch we ran for 9 miles but this was under reading as a lot of the time we lost GPS signal. I think it was about 9.4 miles and my Ipod said 10.5 miles! It over reads by 0.1 of a mile for every mile! So it supports my 9.4 miles!

We were not aiming for a fast time just the distance and ran it in 74 minutes. We started at Blackheath, then ran to Greenwich, through Surrey Quay's, all along the Thames path where possible to Tower bridge then up to Waterloo bridge and back to London bridge where we got the train home. I should be up to my 10 mile target distance by the end of January. And ideally I would love to be up to 14 miles by the end of February as we have a 1/2 marathon run coming up (need to check date!) But I need to stop being lazy and to also run during the week to get my fitness up. When I was training for the marathon last year I was so good, and ran 3-4 times per week. I even started running the 6.5 miles home from the University!

Now its 5 pm and I need to do some editing! Where has the day gone?! And we need to start thinking about cooking our Sunday dinner at some point. Or persuading hubby to:)
