I did a super exercise on Thursday. I have been riding my exercise bicycle when I get home for half an hour every day. But on Thursday I also did pushups, dips, squats, situps, lunges and stretches. And then on Saturday morning when I woke up I could not lift my arms above my shoulder because of muscle pain. That did not stop us going shopping for our university text books. By the end of the day I had 5 out of 6 text books and Sandra was missing one text book too. I have however ordered my missing text book from Amazon. We still need to decide what to about Sandra's missing text book. She has lecturers and stuff ( unlike me and my correspondence degree; so if all the students are searching for the book maybe the lecturers could organise a group purchase from a supplier or somewhat.) I then cooked the only meal I know how to cook. Whole-wheat vegetable quiche. Quite a delicious meal. But the only one I know. The next morning I woke up early and Sandra was not at all interested in waking up. So I decided the time had come to add a new recipe to my repertoire. I decided upon a spinach and chick pea curry with flat bread. And I went off to buy the ingredients. I also bought 8 fancy folders for my 8 courses. Sandra was not impressed by how fancy they were and was quite informative in explaining to me why they were not suited for my needs. I thought I would cook the curry for lunch but I discovered that we had other plans. Off to the Gateway to buy jeans. We went through all the pants in 6 different shops. And I learnt why each individual pair of jeans was not suitable. Sandra can be very informative when she sees the need. But eventually 6 hours later we got home with two new pairs of blue jeans for Sandra. I also got two new shirts. They were the two shirts the closest to the entrance at Woolworths. I then started cooking the meal. It took me about 2 and a half hours. I hope to get my timing down to about 1 hour when I become expert at it. (I am an expert at wholewheat vegetable quiche.... and I dare anyone in the world to not agree after tasting it...). Anyways, its Monday and I am at back at work with my esteemed colleagues.

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
