Movie Night
Rachel & Speedy hosted movie night tonight. Dave came to our place for an hour or so while we had a drink and gabbed. Then we picked up the Indian take out we ordered and headed over to Rach & Speedy's place. We watched the movie Shooter staring Mark Wahlberg. It took us awhile to get into the movie but once we did it was alright.

Two More Runs
Headed out for a run again as soon as I got home from work on Monday and Wednesday. I'm learning this is a good way to do it as most days I still have some energy left from the day and I get my run done before supper. If I wait until after supper, I'm too full and lazy.

5 Months
I can't believe we've been here 5 months today. The time continues to fly on by. We are still really enjoying it here and are not ready to be back home in Canada yet. I think when our time is up here it'll be hard to go back. We'll be happy to be close to friends and family again, but we'll definitely miss the English life and the slow pace of Cornwall.

Sofa Purchase
I can't believe it's September!
Keith needed some extra sleep today as expected! I got up and was a wonderful wife (that term just doesn't seem suiting for me - haha) and cooked him a greasy breakfast. In the afternoon we went to Falmouth to Trago as we decided to buy the couch we looked at a few weeks ago. We can no longer sit on our futon as it is extremely uncomfortable. It was clearly made for sleeping (very comfy to sleep) on and not sitting on. The couch we decided on is a 4 seater beige monster. It's not overly attractive but it's super comfortable. The type of couch you sit on, sink into, and never want to get out of. We also bought the matching foot stool. It takes 4-6 weeks for delivery so hopefully sometime in October we'll be sitting more comfortably. Once it arrives the futon will go upstairs and the two military issued chairs will go back. The couch will take up a lot more space than the futon, it's probably way too big for the space we have, but we're not too concerned.
Neither of us had a lot of ambition today so we decided to skip cooking supper and went out for Indian. While we were out we grabbed a movie (The Good Shepherd) and that finished off our evening.

Pub Golf
Happy Birthday Laurie!!
Ah, I love these four day work weeks! What a beautiful thing. However, it's really gonna suck when my next job after this contract requires five days. Boo.
I dropped into visit Ruth & Ellie for a bit, then walked into town to browse. Tonight is pub golf which doesn't involve playing golf at all. It's a nine hole game and a pub represents each hole. Dangerous! This is Keith's course first social. I have been planning for weeks to go, but then changed my mind when I found out it involved drinking your drinks at each pub in as few gulps as you can. And they were starting at 5pm! I would be passed out by 6pm. Not my idea of excitement. Part of the fun is getting dressed up in some really goofy golf gear, basically the goofiest clothes you can find. So I was browsing the charity shops (like frenchy's at home) incase I decided to meet them later in the evening.
I dropped Keith and Speedy off at the base at 4:30pm where the taxi was picking them up to go into Falmouth. Everyone looked great! Funny, but great. I planned at that point I would definitely meet them at some point. However, that never materialized. I decided I was quite content relaxing at home. I'm sure they're all having a blast though and someone is guaranteed to be sick! Glad it's not me!

Movie Night
Keith was up at 4:30 this morning as he has to go to Yeovil for the second part of his dunker qual. He was impressed. Yeovil's a few hours away so they had to leave early. I think the guys picked him up at 5am.
Oh my God my legs are so sore today! I definitely have to give them a rest!
Dave and Ruth hosted movie night tonight. Ruth & Ellie are down for a few days so Ruth cooked up fajitas! Mmm. And she had a spread of desserts. I was in my element. She had made a traditional English dessert called Summer Fruits. It was excellent. Rachel hasn't been feeling great so she didn't come over, and Speedy came for a bit. After we were stuffed we watched 'Blades of Glory' with Will Farrell and the guy from Napoleon Dynamite as the main characters. It was very funny. Especially seeing Will Farrell on figure skates. We hung out for a bit afterwards and came home and crashed as Keith was quite bagged from being up so early.

Another Run!
Woohoo I did it again! I was determined again on the way home I was heading out for another run...even though my legs were a bit sore from yesterday. Decided I would make it a shorter run. It was harder today as my legs were tired and sore, but I did pretty good again considering. Can I keep this going???
