Afternoon ladies .....
Am actually tempted to go and try and rediscover moooojooooo at the gym later.
I went to Portsmouth and picked them up, rose above her pettyness and had a lovely chat with the boys on the way back. They are here now and we're going to have a fun weekend. Allbeit that one has a heavy cold and the birthday boy has a badly sprained wrist so the rock climbing party I had organised has had to be cancelled!
Never mind, I'm happy!
Stop posting and enjoy the weekend :-p ... he will remember his dirthday with his dad for the rest of his life; memories that will never be forgotten :-)
Can't he rock climb one-handed???? lol
If there is any jelly and ice cream left, send it my way ;-)
Have a blast !
Morning Moderates.
Am almost broody with all this sproglet speak.
(almost)
It now appears he'll be getting two parties. One today and one sometime during Easter Hols. How did that happen?
<So I'm now off to wash the word MUG off my forehead!>
PS, all fathers are MUGS and the fact we love it makes it a lot easier.... if you post a report of the Mr. Bean film on the film thread and update here I'd love to read it. Was going to take mine as they love that sort of thing.
Also, I'm email enabled if you want to chat offline.
Look after yourself and the kids, the weekend looks perfect for it..... I love it when a plan comes together :-)
PS & GMI -- see, you guys say you're mugs, but when I think back to all the times when I wanted anything, I always ask my Dad first. Simple reason, he's more reasonable. Anything I want, if I can put forward a decent enough argument, I know my Dad is going to consider it and say yes. Whereas Mum... she'll just say no for the hell of it see. It's the same as when I want Mum to know anything, I always tell Dad first... because I know that no matter how I explain it, Mum will not understand (usually on purpose) and further more, if it's something I can't do for her (like fixing her bliddy PC) Dad explains it to her in such a way that still comes out with me looking like a Saint. Interesting thing is, my 'Dad' is actually my Step-Dad and he has never had kids of his own. Just shows IMHO how much effort guys put in when they want to. If I'm half as good a parent (if it ever happened) as my Dad is, then I'll be very lucky. I've learned alot from him... and you two guys, your kids will too.
My Dad is perfect, end of (in a Big Brother stylee).
Cath - story. Yes mojo is recovered as I was raring to go to the gym last night. However, an hour long telephone conversation killed it. It is there though. I'm going to let it out just a little bit later for a bit of front crawl and really let it off the lead tomorrow at the HM. I haven't put any weight back on with mojoloss so I'm just calling this a mega taper.
Evening All :-)
Moderately annoyed clocks go forward and cranleigh is an early start tomorrow @ 9am. Sleeping on a mates sofa for 2 days will not have helped.
Dreading it, 21 miles of fumes from Gatwick. Nice, not :-(
Gotta be done though.
Had some excitement at dinner in a restaurant. Everything going well. Birthday boy orderd the 'Birthday Belly Buster' for everyone. (Think a pint of chocolate sponge/sauce/vanilla ice cream/marshmallows/smarties all topped with whipped cream and more chocolate sauce). It arrives at the table with waiter/esses all singing Happy Birthday and a huge roman candle spurting out flames.
No problems until the birthday boy decides it's time to blow out the candle. Suffice to say I received a warm glow all over my face and have only just retained my eyebrows!!
I hope he enjoys his presents tomorrow. Chances of a lay-in are slim for me though!
Cath - Wise words ;-)
Hanneke - time can only heal so much ;-)
WA - race report?
PS - was today a good day?
MA my work colleague has smashed his PB at Reading today by 10 mins to beat me by 5:30 overall. [insert any word that could get the thread cazzed !!!] Only had 3 weeks to gloat as well, hmpfh......
Moderately annoyed at sh*t baggage area at Bath half marathon which I think I would have still been in had I not taken evasive measures to get my bag back.
Moderately very much not annoyed at taking a further 2.5-3ish mins off my half mara PB. Didn't quite get what I wanted but given the extended mega taper mojo loss I'm pleased I got round at all.
GMI - yup, I love my earplugs! Though it wasn't the people I thought it was because it was all quiet at about 3ish when I got up for a pee. Which is far to early for quiet at a student bash.
Thanks GMI, a good day. Number 1 was pleased with his presents & loads of money from relatives. The Birthday Cake I made yesterday was a bit rich!
Boys back with the Wicked Witch now, but will be back next weekend for Easter holidays. I'm hoping No. 1's wrist will have recovered sufficiently for him to do the rock climbing.
Crikey looks like everyone has been very energetic! Well done Mouse & Womble. Long time since I've run as far that's for sure (or as quickly probably!!)
Hope you all had a good weekend. I am a bit miffed that I have to go to work this morning (should have been annual leave but they called another *important* meeting). Mojo returned yesterday - ran 18 miles. Wasn't quite the 20 which was scheduled, but given the lack of mojomagic recently, I'm pleased with that.
PS -- Glad your boys had a nice weekend. Love it when everything comes together.
Mouse -- not had chance to speak to you yet but well done on the PB lady. Hope yesterday was fun. Even though you didn't quite get what you wanted, you did really well considering the problems with the injuries recently.
Mouse - Well done on the PB, many congrats!
PS - Just remember how miffed the Wicked Witch (east or west ;-) ) will be when your lads bound in to the house going on and on about what a great weekend they have had. Should be more than enough to keep you smiling until the net time you see them..... BTW, you made a cake ? We'll be calling you DeliaPS soon ;-)
Cath - well done on the LSR.
Looks like the mojo has returned for most; has SVT found his?
In w**k already, want to be at home :-(
(Thats large steaming mug as in 'hot drink' btw!!)
GMI Yes, baked a cake. I used to do most of the cooking as WW would burn a boiled egg! & I love cooking too! I have to be careful what I put in it as the Birthday boy doesn't eat fruit or like jam, so we usually end up with butter icing which is too rich! Hey-ho.
Must be off as helping my brother to move house today!
Be good everyone and play nicely!
Last day here....
Been lovely here.
Found some lovely czech microbreweries to while away the hours drinking banana and coffee beers with my Sherlock Holmes book..have also seen some excelent live jazz for which Prague is famous for....and have walked till I dropped.
Half marathon was a great success. 1.36.47 by my watch. Not bad considering the cobbles. A great event, with isotonic drinks on route, plus sweet tea and even beer!!!!
I had a small glass of pivo at Mile 12 haha.
Wish you were here.
Dude.
dude - stonking race! Glad Prague was everything it was cracked up to be.
Moooojoooooooo?
Have you found that mojomagic yet...?
You could do what I did. JFDI.
