    Will be interesting to see what happens for the rest of the week.

    Forgot to say earlier Curves must be the least intimidating exercise venue ever. There was a girl tonight wearing a floral dress with her exercise pants and trainers. I think she forgot her t-shirt but decided to do her workout anyway and nobody cared. I couldn't imagine that in a real gym.

    No idea if it's helping or not, I'm just concentrating on getting there for now.

    I went along to Curves with my Mum last year (or the year before). I just didn't feel like I was doing anything! Having said that I think it's brilliant for anyone who would find a normal gym intimidating (like my Mum who never did any exercise until 2 years ago and has now been well over 100 times :T)

    I enjoyed Curves but find I get a heck of a lot more out of the shred!

    Queen watch :) Why wouldn't she taste the Guinness :huh: I wouldn't expect her to drink it but one tiny sip for the photographers would have been nice.

    Now she's sitting in an empty football stadium (Croke Park) with some other nice important looking people but it's just BORING. The "ghost town" look continues which is such a pity because Croke Park is a spectacular place. (Irish equivalent of Wembley stadium). Not liking todays yellow outfit so much.

    I know, she was just smiling at the Guinness! Prince Phillip seemed much more interested! I guess she was afraid of having a Guinness mustach!

    Todays outfit looks like the one she wore for the wedding!

    Maybe she didn't drink it because she knew the picture would make the front page of all the papers especially the tabloids and she seems to guard her image so closely.

    I'm a bit bored with Queen watch today but she did seem to enjoy herself at the national stud. There were lots of people of all ages there and I think it came across much better in the media than Dublin yesterday. Would love to be one of the 2000 people attending the concert and fashion show tonight. Will have to make do with watching it on tv later :)

    Planning on going to the street party tomorrow when she's in my city. Hoping that'll be ok because for health reasons anxiety/ depression I'm not great with crowds. Although I'm not expecting a massive crowd. The security and traffic restrictions will keep loads of people away I'd say.

    Skinny black cat just got me out of bed to feed him. He was STARVING :( So glad I have some proper cat food for him but he needs to adjust his body clock and call for food at more convenient times.

    Cats don't have owners - they have staff....
