Notes of Life

I haven’t written for over a week and my only excuse is that I bought a Wii Fit last week! They’re not easy to get hold of at the moment, but I managed to snag one from Argos in town. So I’ve been trying to spend around 30 minutes in an evening playing on Wii Fit and I must admit it’s quite fun! I’ve even managed to get Mum on it and she’s doing better than me at some things!

Anyway…

When you were a kid, did you ever want a rocking horse? I don’t know if I did or not, but I enjoyed the one we had in infants class at school (it was an old metal type one, I suspect it’s long gone now!). Well, forget about the rocking horse… You can now buy a rocking sheep from The Rocking Sheep Company here in Wales! Is it just me who thinks they are cute?!

My arms are aching!

After much debating (and checking my finances) I decided to treat myself to a Nintendo Wii. I got mine from Argos yesterday as they’ve currently got a promotion on - spend over £100 and get a £10 gift voucher (which I used to get £10 off the 2 games for £30 promotion!).

So far, I’ve just been playing on Wii Sports and it’s certainly energetic (if you’re not a sporty person). My favourites are the tennis and boxing, although I’m not so good at baseball (but then I was never any good at hitting the ball in rounders at school!).

Even Dad has had a go (he’s in his 70s!). He chose boxing. He kept getting closer to the TV and I was getting worried he’d punch the TV if he got much closer! He certainly got into it.

I may invest in a Wii Fit when my birthday comes around in June. We’ll see…
