Sharing the pain

It is lovely to have someone to share things with but pain is probably not one of them unless you have unusual personal preferences.

I suffered with very painful knees after the run yesterday which cleared up overnight but I still have a major strain at the top of my hamstring muscle and the other half is extremely saddle sore hence both of us were hobbling about this morning.

I was particularly grumpy to boot as the pain last night meant I could only sleep comfortably flat on my back rather than on my side as I prefer, needless to say I didn't sleep much and when I did I had nightmares about Zombies and Ghosts after watching a pretty dark episode of the New Doctor Who series I recorded from the night before.

It hasn't been the best of days at work so far either - one of our best customers is closing down their Scottish site in the summer with the loss of 95 high-quality jobs (the type of jobs that require PHD's). It's always sad to hear of a company closure (The Rover Longbridge plant closure is also in the news at the moment) but it's harder when you know and like the employees effected.

Hoping to go for a walk for lunch to clear the cob webs and loosen me up for a trip to the gym tonight.
