chestnuts and pomelo

sorry about the lack of a post yesterday, but i had a busy night. i had my spanish class - it was the start of the new course so there are some new people there and of course, a new teacher. we had to do some embarrassing 'breaking ice' exercises, but now that's out of the way, it should be ok.
after spanish we went to take my jeans back, you know, the 30/32 ones, because there was a weird bit of stitching on the side. also, they were a bit itchy - how can jeans be itchy? - so i asked for a refund rather than an exchange. then we went to look for new jeans for me but it was a very brief look and we didn't find anything.
after that, we went to tesco as we didn't have any food at home at all. everything we bought was pretty healthy, apart from a bag of chocolate bars - they're only 1.5 point each so not too bad. and, i discovered pomelo! i love grapefruit and i used to eat at least one every day. then i started taking carbamazepine and the leaflet says you can't eat grapefruit. i saw this pomelo and it said it tasted like grapefruit. so i got one to test. i had it after tea and it was alright, tasted kinda like grapefruit but it's too much kerfuffle to eat so i don't think i'll be buying it again. i also bought chestnuts! i love roasted chestnuts so that's what i'm going to do with them today. should be lovely.

i'm sticking to my points every day and i'm getting some bonus points from walking. i know i should go to the gym but i don't want to have a shower there and everything so i think i'll start going in the evenings. just a few times a week. i can't go on mondays and wednesdays, cause those are my spanish days, i can't go on tuesdays cause it's the tango night (that's exercise though!) and fridays are out of the window too as mark's got band practice. so, i can go on thursdays, saturdays and sundays. three times a week, that's more than enough. so i'll aim to go this thursday.

talking about tango, today is the first lesson. how exciting!
