Apple 
Well, as planned, we went to the Apple store in Leicester after work today.
If you’ve never been to an Apple store before, then I can highly recommend it. If you asked me to describe what heaven looked like, it would be an Apple store.
We walked though the …… looking for the store as we’ve never venture to …. before. Walked through the carpark, through John Lewis (the store, not a person, LOL)….saw next, new look and the I saw it, no words outside the shop, just a huge 10 foot illuminated apple logo above the door. I swear, it was like seeing a roller coaster for the first time 
(as you can probably tell, this is the first time I’ve been to a Apple store, I know, I need to get out more)
Walking into the store itself, first table had 6 macbooks, all connected to Iphones, next table had MacBook Pro’s both the 15″ and 17″ models all connected to Iphones, all with internet access.
Down the outside wall, there was just a wall of Imac 24″ s (so nearly bought one of them too).
The staff in there were chilled, very chilled, weren’t pushy and really helpful, Very very sweet place !
Anyway, to cut a long ish story short, we walked out of there is a 15.4″ MacBook Pro, a pair of the earbud headphones, a wireless mighty mouse, and a dock for my Ipod Touch

Fitness ..if I choose to accept it…
Well to be honest, I don’t think I have choice. Just to give you a small amount of history. I’ve never really been a sporty person, kinda a lazy person if I’m to be honest, but until a couple of years ago, I’ve gotten away with eating and drinking practically as much as I want without adding any weight.
Late 20′s came, and suddenly, i became a fat bastard, lol. This time last year, I though, I know what I’ll do, I’ll buy a push iron (bicycle), and cycle to work, thinking this will do the trick.
In about June, realised that cycling alone wasn’t going to fix it, so decided to take more extreme approach. I bought the P90x 13 DVD collection, which claims that you can have a beach body in 90 day…this I had to see….as myself and C were due to go abroad in September.
The workout was at least an hour a night, for at least 5 days a week, and it was a hard, painful, sweaty workout, but sure enough approx 90 days later I had a body that I didn’t mind getting out on the beach, with not having to fear anybody trying to shoot me with a harpoon dart, or trying to push me back in the water, thinking I was a beached whale !
Anyway, when we got back from our hols, we decided to workout maybe 2 or 3 times a week just to keep in shape……the problem is, I’m lazy, didn’t do any exercise, and have managed to pile on 2 stone…
Anyway, the point of the history, is that this year myself and C already have 3 weddings to goto, so plan to be back down to my idea weight by the 21st April, taking into consideration, that if we do the hardcore P90x this should be possible, however just the thought of it is making me ache.
Wish me luck !
