I can hear music......

OK, so you've probably noticed by now that my titles to each post have a music theme. This leads me nicely onto today - the day I've waited for - OK, so I'm sad, it comes of living with a geek for so long!! Anyway, the reason for my cheer and jubilation is that I bought my iPod Nano today :). I also bought the sport kit and running shoes that allow you to jog and the iPod tells you the distance, calories or time by interupting your music and since discovering running in the gym last year this is a godsend - the trainers are even pretty cool!

This was supposed to be a chill out day but we spent far more time in Fashion Valley Mall than expected (buying iPods, Gordon Setter socks(yes, I found some) and trainers). We then decided as it was getting late to have lunch in one of our favourite diner chains the Californian Pizza Kitchen - they make the BEST pasta!

We then came back to the hotel, I downloaded some music onto said iPod and sat on the balcony in the beautiful sunshine which belies the fact it's October (I've been here far earlier and its been cool and damp). I finished my book, the Shadow of the Wind (an unforgetable masterpiece of a book) then took a quick trip to Wal-Mart to buy a new suitcase after the sad demise of one of out old ones thanks to baggage handlers last year.

We then ended the evening with a few beers in the E&C watching a conference delegate who thought he was Mr Smooth making a complete ass of himself in front of this woman delegate - great people watching!
