OMG its been a month!
Jan1720104:13 p.m.
what can I say other than I've had a hectic time!...........school was mega busy in the run up to xmas and then I had a 36 hr journey to home! Was teaching from 7.30 til 1.30 on the 23rd then had lunch before a 4.30hr drive to Amman hang around from 7 til 12.30am when we headed off to the airport where we then had to wait til 3.30am for flight. Arrived safely in Istanbul at 5.30am for another 2 hr wait well should have been it turned into 3hrs as we parked up on the runway for an unexplained hour! Hit Manchester at 11.30 am to have to wait for bus to Man before waiting for another bus to home.....was bloody tired and cold by the time I stepped foot in my door!
I have to confess I did nothing exercise wise over xmas, over new yr and over the next two weeks neither! No car and the weather being so miserable meant I wasn't going anywhere! but the good news is I only put 2kgs on!
Had an equally traumatic flight back with Turkish airlines being delayed for 40 mins in Man and then missing my connecting flight in Istanbul by about 5 mins thus enduring another 4hr stay in an airport before 2hr flight to Amman leading to stopover here til bus back home at 2.30pm!
Yesterday saw me hit the gym for the first time in 3 weeks........boy was it tough! Khaled should have been putting me through my paces but he was ill so Hannah and I motivated each inbetween gossiping about the holidays! We spent 40 mins on the bike level 8 weight loss programme before doing stretches and stomach before returning to bike for another 30 min chat!
Then - just for you Malcolm - we retired to hotel and spent the days sunbathing! I've actually got sunburnt shoulders! beautiful!
More on the seasonal weather with my next post........just to reassure you I've not forgotten what I've left behind I will leave you with this picture after wishing you all a happy productive 2010!
