YES indeedie, two years have passed since I started writing this blog and if you’ve been reading it all this time, you probably deserve a drink! To celebrate, of course!
Without the enigmatic Bok to keep me going through the winter, my results have been down on the first year, but only a touch. In fact, I have [...]
The day before we went to the Tate, Kim twisted my arm to make her some bookshelves for her study. They’re fun and functional and whilst they might not be finished as well as a shop-bought piece of furniture, they have been designed to satisfy one persons’ particular requirements.

Apologies for the sporadic nature of the last few posts, to do both with missed runs and missed posts. Although I didn’t run midweek (yet again!), last Sunday fell into the latter category, primarily because we rushed straight out to meet our friends Patrick & Sarah at the Tate Modern for lunch… and I’ve then had a manic [...]

The outgoing leg was really straightforward, with great roads right up til about [...]
Nigel & Kristin, as our lovely house guests over the Christmas break, may well report me as being a lazy git. And they would be right. The only time I went into the great ‘cold & wet outside’ during the three weeks they were here, was to paddle up the River Cuckmere with Debbie, Kim [...]
Here we are, mid-way through January and I am only just putting fingers to keyboard. Here’s a quick photographic catch-up on the first couple of weeks of 2009:
And just in case you are intreagued by the splash that I’m making above, here is the video that Kristin (www.planetkrikri.blogspot.com) took - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhkg4RU5xR0
And both Kim and I agree that, even after only one week of doing the chi-kung exercises each day, we really do feel great. I doubly recommend it!
