Australia, the UK and the gym ....

I'm guessing a lot of people woke this morning to check the Oscar results; well in Australia they had an awards ceremony of their own in the form of the Welsh born socialist PM Julia Gillard being challenged for Labor party leadership by the Mandarin speaking insufferable bureaucrat and former PM Kevin Rudd. The two events look very similar as both have a lot to do with powerful people out of touch with what's going on in the real world.

Speaking of reality and something guaranteed to bring all and sundry back down to earth was the UK Chancellor telling everyone there was literally no money left. I doubt the G20 meeting in Mexico city and the IMF wanted to hear this as they battle to firewall Europe and the world from the Euro-PIIGS.

Don't worry Christine at least France scooped the pool at the Oscars. 

So plenty to think about at the gym today. The plan is for a strict 1 hour recovery session based on the upper body. After yesterdays bike mini marathon my legs are still like jelly.
