my left knee hurts

I went to my first (and penultimate) bootcamp on Tuesday. It was awful and it killed yesterday and all today. I should really have not gone tonight but it was my last sesh before the hols and I will be scarily wearing beach attire in about 2 weeks time so needs must.

My left knee is now killing me, I can't bend it. I'm dreading the drive to work tomorrow as every time I press the clutch it hurts like hell.... Moan over.

Look at the pressie I received from my friend on Tuesday:

Yes that's Swiss choccie orange as she is a lucky resident of Switzerland and a cute pair of Dutch clogs on a keyring as she's a proud member of that Orange nation. I met this friend about 7 years ago in Madrid! This is only our second time of meeting up since then but I was delighted to be able to catch up before I make a more long-distance move.

We had a lunch at Frankie & Bennys as it was so close to my work. I had an avocado pizza. The avocado was cooked on the pizza. Who knew? Very fancy. I would definitely choose that pizza again. 

She said something interesting that I must bear in mind - she has been a member of an expat drinking and running group in Spain and in  Switzerland. I asked if she was still involved. No was the answer as she had grown out of it - yes it was a good laugh when she was there and was a twice weekly nice thing to do - but the guys who went didn't care if she was there or not as there was always someone else to have a laugh with..she wasn't making friends but making acquaintances. Interesting. It is hard to make that breakthrough to become friends.

Acquaintances are good and all but we all need caring friends.

I wonder how I will find it in Oz....

So tired. Last day of work tomorrow!!!!!!!
