kybearfuzzMy internet connection doesn't seem to work. Damn! At £3 per 15 minutes, this could get pricey.
The drive to Swindon was nice and leisurely. Not too much excitement. Swindon is also a very small town, so not much to do here. Add to that the fact that Monday is the bank holiday and most businesses have closed up shop for the weekend, it makes for bleak pickings for tomorrow.
Took a two hour walk around old town Swindon. Noticed the odd thing is that the health warning on cigarettes is very different here. They just say "SMOKING KILLS," which is far more direct than our Surgeon General's warning on a pack. It's also huge, it takes up nearly half of the pack's front. Not that it seems to have too much of an effect. Saw tons of young people lighting up all over London, rather disturbing really.
Good news is that the gym here has Body Pump classes. It's a weight lifting class done to music with low weights, but high repetitions. I take the class at home at Gold's Gym, so it's a welcome sight. Since I hadn't done it in a month, tomorrow should be funny.
Well, not much else to go on. I be doing some shopping tomorrow at an outlet mall and checking out the railroad museum to satisfy the tourist in me. Then I do some prep for work. And I'll try to get that blasted internet to work again. Ugh! Luckily, there is an internet cafe in town, but it wont be open until Tuesday.
