I was always teacher's pet at school - enjoy a bit of rebellion now I'm older
Definitely Bez style dancing needed for the Jazz Hands (we don't play jazz) Band
Kiwi - yes, I *do* think it will help if I go for a little plod. Mentally as well as physically. However I promise not to enjoy it at all. Can I bring you an apple anyway ??
Right - to distract from the telling off , some pictures of cats.
See - they *are* still interested!
My 4yr old god-daughter listened with much interest while I showed her my medal and talked her round the course today. Then she turned to her mum and said "why's auntie Deborah got a medal?" ...kids!
kaffeeg - actually first cat is thinking "can I eat it??" and second cat .. well you're spot on with her!
kiwi - <asks innocently> 6 of the best what? !
Achy arms today after a hard weight session and did 2.5 miles on the dreadmill too! I did follow it up with a nice sauna/Jacuzzi though!
Well done Aber mini. Impossible for a family to have too many medals!
Good photos, love that cat number two actually seems to be reading it. (anyone that read mine in the pub on Friday just guffawed with laughter at the fact it said "virgin"! )
Edinburgh's hairy haggis relay is good fun! I did it three years ago with some colleagues. Pretty easy course, and longest stretch is 8 miles. Pimps!
Len, great time! Beat me by quite a bit. Maybe next year you should try to replicate it exactly!? Mile by mile. Now that could be fun!
I am also being a teacher's pet, went for a swim, and then a muck about in th pool with my kids.
Think my family are enjoying the non-running Emma. Our house is proper clean, and the kids had a meal not covered in orange breadcrumbs.
Have an evening of marking ahead.
I keep looking at the cat photos and laughing again! B&T that really is pure comedy.
Awwwwww, we are a fun group.
(p.s I thought '6 of the best' was press ups? maybe it was just the school i went too....
.)
Emma - that is a brilliant idea. Incredibly hard. But a brilliant idea. Len, you better do that now!
Emma - loving the 'orange breadcrumbs' sadly true in this house too! We've just had huge bowlfuls of homemade Minestrone soup. Yum - not a breadcrumb in sight! I think I may have to order some photos, but eek yes they are expensive.
kaffeeg - I thought 6 of the best was a cane-ing? (and I don't know how to spell it either!)? (But then again - maybe that was just the school *I* went to!)
Glad you like the photos - they amused me, but I'm easily amused
So the line up so far for THE JAZZ HAND BAND is
Kaffeeg keyboard
Kiwi guitar
pip triangle
Emma Mc clarsach [ celtic harp]
Aber's daughters cornet and flute
Black and tabby flute
RunningRaRa interesting dancer
Loving your cats B &T
honestly I go away for a couple of hours and millions of new posts, a little tree came down in our field so had to chop it up and remove it ... nice little tree too, such a shame
oooh can I be teachers pet too pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese
Len great marathon for you sub 5hours yippeeee
I agree photos are expensive but going to have to get some as Mr Pips couldn't take them himself
Running RaRa I am going to frame my medal, number and photo [ if I can decide which one isn't too awful] hang it up in our lounge then EVERYONE even the shopping delivery man can see it
Kaffeeg, I have jut been doing some other forum skulking-you pop up all over the place! And Emmy-bug!
Runningrara, I need to leave my iPad lying about so my OH can read your post and do that for me!
I've ordered my photo on postcards to send to my family and friends (which I just KNOW they want a postcard with me on it, doing the london marathon). It has me punching the air coming into the finish. Slightly insane look, but I'm highly amused by it. Just to say thank you to them for being sooo sweet to me. Sure, they might prefer an actual thank you card which says 'thank you' on it, rather than a picture of me. But, you know, they won't get one.
kaffeeg ...... hmmmmm bet you will be joining the other forums bands as well won't you ..... its them or us you know
kiwi this conversation you are having with b & t is starting to sound slightly dodgy
100 photos eh well that's christmas cards sorted then
Pip-you seem very keen on impressing your shopping delivery man. He comes up quite a bit in your posts I've noticed?
Well still feeling slightly invincible I have just signed up for a 48 mile bike ride! Manchester to Chester 29th July. Sometimes I cycle 6miles to work along the (flat, traffic-free) canal....then back again hours later. Hmm...I sense another training plan coming up...am I mental?!
I forgot how fast this thread moves !!
Jazz hands club band sounds good, I'm also a bit musically challenged but happy to be a groupie
.
RRR - yes you probably are mental but that can only be a good thing. Good luck on your 48 mile bike ride
.
I probably will get some of the pics, OH is also into framing things. We have lot's of framed pics of his mountain expedtions. I hope my framed pic and medals doesn't end up on teh toilet wall.
I'm going to the gym tomorrow, going to do a gentle 30 cycle. I'm looking forward to it as all my good intentions of eating well have gone out the window. OH presented me with a bowl of ice cream, syrup and crushed biscuits not 10 mins ago.
lol at Pip's delivery man
