    Morning all

    Oii - Well done with Berlin, sounds like you had a great time. The TV coverage was a bit roapy, they couldn't get the bike camera's to work properly. My wife is still ill I'm afraid but there are some signs of improvement so fingers crossed she will be well again soon.

    RLTW - Nice one with the show, do it if you can, it's a great experience. I was in a choir for 6 years when I was younger, even doing Songs of Praise, I was offered a scholarship in Ampleforth College for music and I was in two opera's with the Welsh Opera Company. All of tis is when I was younger so I don't know how well I'd sing now. Enjoy York, I love going there.

    Wabo - great bike ride. Thought about doing a tri?

    Vixx - any word on the car?

    Hi Angel and Birkmyre.

    Still no running for me while I'm looking after the wife. She's coming to the end of her course of anti-biotics tomorrow and then has to see the doctor to see what's what.

    afternoon all

    oii, brilliant sounds like you had a great marathon experience!

    oii I remember my mum used to say, no more marathons eh?  She has given up now!

    LFC, I have done sprint tri's Ilove them.  My swimming needs to be improved though! NOt ready for any open water stuff. Have you done one? Hope your oh is getting better.

    Was also going to ask Vixx about thecar, any news?

    Wabo - never done a tri. My swimming is OK but by no stretch of the imagination would I say it's competitive. I may have to tri it one day though, I've always heard good things about them.

    WELL DONE OII!!!!!!! image

    How do you feel now? My mate got a new PB - but was sick at 17 miles and couldn't take anything on board for the rest of the race.

    I want to have another crack at it, but will see. I wanted NYC for 2012 and doubt that will happen, but you never know.....

    (New York is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than Berlin btw)

    The car has gone now - she's being repaired but I won't be having her back. I am driving a car he has loaned me for the time being, so it helps me out a bit. Thank you all for asking.

    How are you all today?

    Loving York image Fabulous weather. Forgot my charging lead for the netbook image so will have to keep it short. I want to live here image

    Morning all

    RLTW - hope you are having a good time in York, soooo lucky with the weather.

    Oii - congratulations on the marathon, sounds like we have another Berlin fan on here now.

    I lost a pound this week at weigh in.  During my birthday week (which stretched to 2 weeks) I put on four so now need to focus again.  Unfortunately life gets in the way - am in London for 2 days next week which means dinner with work colleagues in the evening.  I shall pick healthy options from the menu and stay off the wine.  Determined to reach target by Christmas (11 pounds to go)

    How is everyone on this lovely sunny day?

    I'm sweating already! image

    Well Done on 1lb off DD - whereabouts in London are you going?

  • Options
    Morning everyone

    RLTW - I can't blame you for wanting to live in York, I think it's a really lovely city. I went round it in the snow a couple of years ago and it looked even better.

    DD - Nice one on the loss, you will make the 11 pound by Christmas.

    Vixx - It's hot here too, it feels like I'm working in a sauna, and not in a good way. image

    Things are looking up for my OH, her breathing's easier and she is getting more energy back, so hopefully she will be back to normal before long. image

    Am glad mrs lfc is getting better - did she go to see the doc again?
  • Options
    Yes, she went this morning. She still has to have the CT scan, but things are looking better.
  • Options
    That's good to know lfc. Any idea what the problem is?
  • Options
    It looked like bronchitis but the tests up to now don't bear that out, the sputum sample was negative and the blood sample didn't show signs of it, but the symptoms look like it. That's why she still has to have the scan to see if it shows anything else.
  • Options
    Fingers crossed it is nothing serious.
  • Options
    Thank you. It's nice getting her back again and hear her laugh without bringing up a lung.

    Glad Mrs LFC seems to be on the mend LFC.

    Vixx - I will be at our London office which is near Blackfriars Bridge.  I am considering taking my running stuff and going for a run besides the thames in the evening before dinner if I have time.

  • Options
    DD - that would be such a nice spot for a run! Even if it's only a quick walk that would be better than nothing and would energise you for the evening image

    Go on DD, you know you want to.

    I wouldn't know what to do if I got an acceptance letter. I'd probably think it was a joke or something.

    I applied first in 2002, for 2003 and didn't get in.

    In December 2003 I got a 'Congratulations' magazine and suddenly realised I had a lot of work to do....
