Good Karate lesson last night - I've almost picked up Heian Yondan now; there's just one bit I'm completely lost on, and there are a couple of places where I tend to go into the wrong stance even though I know what the right one actually is. However I sprained my ankle slightly. It's now feeling a bit stiff rather than actively painful but I'm trying to keep weight off it nonetheless.

I spent the day working from home rather than risk finding myself in the middle of town with a worsening ankle. This was probably over-cautious as it doesn't even feel stiff any more, but previous similar injuries have left me inclined to be rather careful about them. I got what I wanted to done and more anyway. So I'm going to risk karate this evening.

Oh, and my debit card was refused in a shop yesterday, which gave me an opportunity to send my bank on a wild goose chase. They wanted to be pretty sure I was really me, and I'd forgotten some password I'd allegedly given them once, so they mechanically generated some questions about my account and asked me those. Fortunately I could remember them! All this dealt with they said they hadn't cancelled the card and couldn't find any record of any attempt at a transaction yesterday, so I'm guessing something closer to the retailer failed to work properly. Perhaps it'll work next time.

The thing I was actually buying was El Mariachi, Desparado and Once Upon A Time In Mexico, which caused LNR and the sales girl to discuss the relative merits of various actors.
