Decisions decisions...

Do I make a 21/2 hour round trip through rush hour traffic to go to a fencing lesson? Or do I say fuck it and stay here?

Reasons to go:
1) There are only eight(?) lessons in total so don't want to miss one
2) Fencing is fun (as someone already said "Well, I'd drive halfway across the country to stick sharp things in people)
3) It's healthy activity and
4) If I stay here I'll just watch films and eat pizza

Reasons not to go:
1) Means abandoning poor little Bronwen (dog-sittee) for several hours
2) By the time I get there I'll be hot and worn out before I even start
3) I probably won't get back till at least half nine at which point I'll be dead
4) If I stay here I'll just watch films and eat pizza

I also might actually get some writing and photography done too, which will be good as I'm going to have a hectic week of work and websites when I get back to Leeds.

So staying would be good cos it's relaxation, and going would be good as it's not giving in and being lazy

Help! (I have about 15 minutes to decide)

Decision made

Not going.

As it's absolutely ridiculous to drive all the way to another city for a lesson when there's another next week and lots more after that (especially if I do join the Leeds Fencing Club)

And I don't want to abandon my poor little doggie for 5 hours, especially when she's all nervous at my parents being away.

And right now the light is beautiful and I have with me my shiny new camera and am about 15 minuts drive away from a gorgeous power station, so I am going to go and take photos of that in the sunset.

Fencing is always there but sunlight is fleeting. Besides, it's ONE AND A HALF BLOODY HOURS SAT IN A BOILING HOT CAR IN TRAFFIC! (not to mention at least an hour back again on wobbly legs) ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE??!?
