*stretches*

So I had exercise today - I drove over to the wilds of Essex and helped [livejournal.com profile] itsjustaname shift her gear. Well, to be more precise, I hauled the slightly less heavy stuff out of the van and dumped into [livejournal.com profile] itsjustaname and [livejournal.com profile] cookwitch's arms. No way can I handle heavy boxes and stairs these days, alas.

I didn't get lost finding the house, although I DID turn off the A12 too soon. However, I knew I'd done it and was easily able to work out how to get back on track (drive down road parallel to A12, pick up road I should have turned onto in the first place). Found the house easily, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] silenttex's excellent directions. Online maps are all very well but they don't give you landmarks you can easily spot :) There was some heavy-ish traffic on the M25 on the way there but I still got there in under an hour. Coming back I did the trip in 40 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. Hopefully it'll be just as pleasant tomorrow when I return back to the wilds to be fed. I've been promised cake! Yay!!*

Done bugger all else today. Crashed out for a nap this afternoon and am now watching the Mets v. Dodgers on mlb.com. Go Mets!!
