We over took a boat on our first race!
this is us about 2/3 of the way over taking the boat that started 9 legnths ahead of us! We powered down the river. We are the boat on the right and I am number 5 counting from the back. Everyone was shouting at us, I knew we could catch them!
Waiting to go...
It was a cold fresh day, there was no wind and just two other Ladies VIII in our division. We did some practicing on the way up and went though the kinds of commands and techniques we would need during the race.
Our First Race!
This was the team waiting for the race to begin. We had rowed from the boat house all the way past the A14 Bridge and the boats all over the river are also waiting to go.

Layer Cake - 4 Stars
Flippin ek! this was alot more gripping than I'd expected. It was wierd - the main character was a vilain, like everyone. There wasn't one person you could say that you thought actually deserved to come out of it unscathed. It definatley made an impression on me - I dreamt my own version and Toby said I talked in my sleep, which isn't unheard of but still quite unusual. Very entertaining, alot more memorable than alot of gangster films.

The Edukators 4 stars - Goth Film Club
On so many levels, this was really enjoyable. Not always believable but more believable than other films of this genre. The plot twists were original and well thought out with far more civilised responses than often done in the 'eastenders' style english films where they go too far and it all becomes stupid. The love triangle was beautifully done. This was a really fun film to watch.
Goodbye Lenin! 5 stars
My first German film with subtitles. It was fab, not hard to follow at all. The characters and story of a Family from the former DDR in Berlin was a great way to look back at these moments in history where everything changes. One minute I was laughing at the son reproducing the East German food by steaming off lables and raiding deserted houses for abandoned food, then crying when he meets his Dad for the first time since early child hood. A really good film.

Fat Spiders
I've had quite an exciting couple of weeks. Having signed up to a business ideas course, I realised that an idea I had years ago might be worth investigation. Rehearsal Studios like the one in Utrecht, DB's. I thought a good place to start would be to find out how many studios I could fill by asking local bands. Just from the Cambridge bands site I have 5 replies, all positive saying that we need rehearsal space. I need alot more and I'm meeting Jane from the Babylon Gallery in Ely who is part of the East Cambs Arts Council about putting a survey together and reaching all the local bands in the area. The Cambridge Bands site is OK but limited in terms of the number of responses. I'm hoping I'll get more over time - I got 5 over one week, but they have just stopped and I know there are more bands than that in East Cambs!
I've produced a Power Point Presentation, spread sheet of numbers and a survey, in a flurry of activity. Next thing, a few responses, I respond with a survey for them to fill in, they return it, I input them into my spread sheet. Then I get a meeting with Jane. Then next thursday is the course. It's there to get ideas for a business, ironically I just thought of one but it gives me a chance to look at my options and work out if I've chosen the right course of actions.
Rowing is going well. Last Sunday we went out in the eight again, aparently we were very steady for novices. It was very tiring, both concentrating on technique and rowing, so I asked if I could do some training during the week on the rowing machines they have there. I did a session on Tuesday and then went out in the mixed VIII with work today at lunchtime.
Toby and I went Ceroc Dancing on Monday, we are going to start going again a couple of times a month, we can't really afford to go more often than that as it's £7 a go each plus parking and a pub meal in Cambridge but it's a bit of exercise and it's great to be dancing together. Talking of dancing together, the 2nd Dance mat arrived on Monday so we are doing dance offs while dinner cooks when we get home from work! Tob's getting really good - we are about the same level now, so that's good for dance offs too.
It feels good, this new activity. I've had a bit of muscle ache, but only pleasant bits where you know you've used your muscles and are feeling stronger as appose to when i over did it training when I was an instructor - I just got fed up with aching all the time. It was bound to be my fault for over doing it, i just have a tendancy to over train. I think the rowing and dancing is a good way of being active without too much risk of over kill.
We've been watching the Paul Mckenna thing on telly too about using programming tips to perminantly re-programme how you eat and stop over eating, thus finding a naturally slim weight and staying there. I've bought the book from Amazon - I want to give this a real go, I know I don't binge any more but I think I've learnt to eat too much and eat when bored etc. I would be quite happy if I could settle at about 85kg - that's neally 20kg to get rid of. I might actually be able to buy some nice clothes then.
I want to go into that Tob and I have started bonking for a baby too, that's as much detail as your gonna get...

Where do I get these from?
 | You scored as The Invisible Man. You are Griffin, the transparent menace in H. G. Wells' classic novel. Having rendered yourself invisible through an irreversible scientific process, you descend into madness, stalking the world like a ghost. You are a mischievous, corruptible soul with an obsession for power, a path that can only end in destruction.

Farmers Market
I took this while waiting in the queue for the pin machine. This was a very quiet Farmers Market, not much produce going, mostly meat - I got the usual ostrich burgers etc. I took this cos the woman still uses a wonderful set of scales to weigh the apples.

Slade in Flame - 4 stars
I saw somthing about this on telly, typed it into Amazon and added it to my rental list. 1973, a film staring Slade, meant to be like the Beatles films. It wasn't what the fans expected, a bit dark, light social comment and a story of h
