One said that they&#8217;d already seen<br \/>\nthe film and didn&#8217;t want to see it again and the other said possibly Friday<br \/>\nis he doesn&#8217;t have to do overtime. At least I got some replies.<\/p>\n<p>The weather today is bl**dy freezing! My face got frozen cycling in and my<br \/>\nlegs started to seize up by the end of the trip. How much of the leg problem<br \/>\nwas due to the weather and how much was due to hardly using my legs for a<br \/>\nfortnight is hard to tell. I&#8217;m sure after about 4 weeks both my legs and<br \/>\nmy girth will be back to the way they were before Christmas.

How long I can fight against apathy is questionable, but at<br \/>\nleast I&#8217;m going to make an effort.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll even meet the love of my life.. though this is probably as likely<br \/>\nas Saddam Hussain inviting George &#8220;Dubya&#8221; Bush and Tony Blair to tea and<br \/>\nthen asking them to run his country for him for a while so he can have a<br \/>\nnice holiday in Hawaii.
