why oh why is it raining??
I was really looking forward to this - RFL Hampstead 1999 was the first race I ever did... *ah* fond memories :-)
I think I'm withdrawing from Abingdone - a bridge too far! or a race too far! I'll definitely go along to support though. I had just taken the fun out of running by aiming too high.
SM
Theres ages till Abingdon
Thinking about it she has more finishers medals than me !!
Ok, have to motor as Old St station is closed so I'll have to leg it to Angel - warm up!!
Right
Hozzie here i come
dont over do it HT !
see ya
Everyone feeling tarty?
I've finished my work - now got to round up the family and pack them off to church. Some of them, anyway. Kevin and Ivor won't go. I've promised Ivor the use of the computer for the next couple of hours since Kevin was up and playing with her paedophile friends on the Pokemon forums before 7am (then I sat down beside her to edit my journal reviews and, like Little Miss Muffet, she ran away).
It's raining. But I wasn't planning to run anyway. Kevin wants to go and buy a birthday present for her friend, knows what type of garment she wants to buy, but is being unhelpful about WHERE. "Gimme a clue, Kevin, somewhere boring and respectable like Markies or Next, somewhere tatty like New Look or somewhere trendy like...well, YOU tell ME. Monsoon is over budget, and don't even let the thought of Harvey Nix flit across your little brain". Looks like I shall be dragging a slouching, sulky Kevin around Merry Hell this afternoon.
Ello Tart
Vrap , thanks for the advice
Presents for mates eh , what happened to the time when you could nip into Woolies and get away with a piece of tat that would end up in bits after a week or under a bed anyway
Mercury, my kids have gone to work with me many times. I once did an entire surgery with a red hot Angelmouse sleeping on my examination couch. People wouldn't see her on the way in, but would do a double take on the way out. And the infant Kevin used to play in my room while I did Saturday morning emergency surgeries.
Vrap , whilst I sympathise with the wifey going spare with the brats , I think it would be unfair to coop them up in an office for a 12 hour shift, plus they were asleep. I sometime think things could be much better if wifey didnt go aps**t at the drop of a hat, perhaps I'll suggest that she try the other tack with the crying and weeping
Saves all that hassle , and if she likes it it must be okay
I've just been mending clothes - Ivor was down to one pair of school trousers that hadn't been rendered crotchless. He now has four pairs with a line of decorative blanket-stitch under the zip. A few of Tinkerbell's school polo shirts had been in the heap for so long that she has outgrown them. Like a good conservationist, I have fixed them and they can go to the charity shop. Now all I have to do is put some buttons on Kevin's school shirts, but she's asleep in her room and she and the cat look so angelic that I don't want to disturb them by raking in the wardrobe.
- so much for the bike ride - it was pi**ing down when the alarm went off, so that was my motivation out the window
Never mind its off to my mums for sunday lunch
And i may get out on the bike this evening - if i can control my mood
Enjoy your lunch, WW.
It's so quiet here that I think I'll pop off and find something useful to do.
aaaaaaaand I've even managed to do some work at work instead of esurfing !
And there began the tale.
V-rap and Benz - i know Abingdon's a long way off, and I think I took the grumpy GP's last words too much to heart. But if I keep it on the back burner, like you say, i can make a decision nearer the time. The problem was that I was getting all wound up about following a schedule and not having a very good time of it all. Now I'm being more rational (and less cruel to myself!!) and it's fun again :-)
right, short race report, then yoga, shower and perhaps a walk while the sun is still shining!
Partner that runs... hmm... nice thought Will.
Partner that does off-road motorbiking works too - he races about every three weeks so can't complain about me being away :-)
Did I tell you how good the Frames were SM?
A partner who ran? Cool!
I'm off to a barbie - ooh what shall I wear??
Afternoon Tarts!
