Continued my spell of feeling under the weather by sleeping in today. I got out of bed at literally noon, made myself a cup of tea, and before I knew it, it was 1pm. I wanted to meet the cavehill walking club folks at cHill, and the walk there was painful thanks to the corn. I put myself through it though, instead of doing the easy thing and cycling or taking the motorbike, as I had been using the corn relief plaster for a week ad wanted to see if it had helped. It hadn't. Painful as ever, if not worse. Spent an hour at cHill with the walking club, all of whom were glad to see me aftyer my hiatus of about 2 months. Walked back home, loaded the motorbike with empty bottles and cans, and headed to refill quarter for a much-delayed zero-waste shop. Then did the rest of our grocery shopping, rode to the city centre to pick up Shruti from after her German meetup, and headed to hey boba for bubble tea. Hey boba had been shut for renovation for the last few weeks, and it was nice to be back! Also, Shruti ordered something different from her usual "roasted oolong" milk tea - something called "honeydew melon", which I found a surprising choice as she doesn't like honey. It was good - much better than my favourite "thai milk tea". I think I'm going to head there and order a whole large one for myself very soon! Picked up some random chicken handi masala and cooked chicken handi, initially following the instructions, but then just did my own thing. It turned out super spicy, but great! Showered and went to bed, super tired and in anticipation of tomorrow's training. Big week ahead!
