Another week of hard work, exercise and getting on with things. A day today of exercise and nearly cutting the tip of my thumb off. Really did a number on myself with the bread knife. It's not that bad - no stitches required, but it's covered in band-aids (plasters to the British) and it is a bit of a nuisance. Thankfully you don't use your left thumb to type.
It's also Valentine's / Galentine's Day. Hallmark holiday. Do no support it. I'm home talking to the cat and doing the ironing. Normal Saturday night as I told a friend who rang a while ago.
Regardless, some easy questions today, thanks to Sunday Stealing.
Things I Love Beginning with S
1. Seafood
Any type, any time. Prawns (shrimp), mussels, oysters - preferably fresh caught and chilled, lobster/crayfish, even yabbies (Australian freshwater shrimp). Fish. I'm starting to feel hungry now. We're lucky in Australia. The seafood is second to none.
2. Screenings
I adore movies. Love them. Particularly on the big screen. You can take in more detail when it's big in front of you. I saw the new Wuthering Heights movie last night. I loved it - many won't see it that way.
3. Soaking
A bath, a bath, my kingdom for a big bathtub. Alas, I only have a shower in my flat, but I love having a bath, particularly if a book and a gin and tonic are involved. They're relaxing. I love being in water generally, but a good soak in a good bath is great.
Same goes for time at the hot springs - which I also love. Soaking outside in nature is wonderful. Should make a plan for that someday soon.
4. Subways
This is going to sound a bit strange, but I love travelling in cities underground. I love the London Tube and the Paris Metro. I've also been on the Boston Metro and the New York Subway. Melbourne and Sydney both have smaller subways, but not to the scale of the bigger cities. I just love trains. I love the ease, the reasonably cheap cost, the convenience and the amazing human soup you get to see when you're on there. And okay, I'm glad I don't have to take these systems on a daily basis, but when I'm in these cities, I'll be riding the subway, happy.
5. Sex (or if you're a prude, think snuggles)
Not that I can remember what that is, but I remember liking it. There's something very healing about skin-to-skin contact.
6. And Sunday Stealing, of course!

Hi Pand,
I hate Valentine's Day too. I think I've ranted about it on my blog. I don't eat seafood anymore because Mrs PM is allergic to it. It made life tricky in Malaysia I have to say. I like subways too - I love the MTR in Hong Kong.
Great tune of the day by the way.
:o)
Cheers
PM
I like seeing movies at the cinema, but it's drastically fallen off, in part because it's been not just cold but snowy with streets still not cleared as well as they should be. Oh, and yay, sex!
I appreciate your love of movies.
