I managed to do 100 pressups on Saturday and made my mind up to do 100 good ones instead of just getting the numbers. I did them in 5 sets of 20, and boy, do my pecs and front delts ache.

Kate has some concerts to do from now until Boxing Day – today we’re off to Birmingham – and I’ll try to fit some exercise here and there. I was dumb enough to once consider pressups on an aeroplane, so I’ll manage. Pressups during the coach ride? Pressups in the toilets? Maybe I should rename the blog Desperate and Trying.

Some people to whom I wrote off to have sent back positive replies, so maybe I’ll get a few interviews and some more work after Christmas, fingers crossed.
