It’s empty, but for one solitary person – a clumsy redhead, say – who is wheezing away on the treadmill right next to the wall.

Yes, grey. They WERE a kind of beige colour, but all of that running I’ve been doing recently had turned them the colour of mud, basically, so [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/09/calamity-jane-strikes-again.html/feed 13 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/03/things-i-bought-february-edition.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/03/things-i-bought-february-edition.html#comments Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:37:49 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=1282 Terry has just reminded me that I haven’t yet provided my monthly breakdown of Things I Bought for February and so, because I know the world will surely end if I don’t list these items, here it is… February was a bit of a crappy month, as you know, but unhappily this extended to shopping [...]]]> http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2009/03/things-i-bought-february-edition.html/feed 1 http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2008/10/the-gym-one-year-on.html http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/2008/10/the-gym-one-year-on.html#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:34:11 +0000 Amber http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/?p=620 This weekend marks the one year anniversary of Terry and I joining the gym.

GO ME!), before the class even started, I managed to: 1. Drop a barbell on my thumb, creating the kind of pain that makes your heart rise into your mouth, and makes you feel like you’re going to throw up any second. 2.
