This morning’s run was always going to be a short one.
For starters, I spent yesterday painting more of the house, managing to complete fully two-thirds of one side wall. I’ll have finished by next year at this rate. I then had to go to Kim’s rental flat to try to figure out why the cistern [...]
I don’t know why it should be, but whenever I think of the word fartlek I get a really clear picture of Dai Thomas first explaining it to me. Thus he was out there on the Common this morning with me, in spirit at least.
I was off to London, so I had to squeeze in [...]
… enties will go live from the 23rd June, at 10am. For any further information please go to brightonmarathon.co.uk. If there are any futher questions, please leave a message after the tone.”
Blah blah blah…
So, after redialling about 120 times in about 40 frustrating minutes, I returned to the website which now had an Enter Now! [...]
No, don’t be silly, although I did complete it once in 1990, the year that I bought my first house. Maybe next year?
I’ve felt a general malaise over the last couple of weeks and I would have AGAIN happily not run… but for two things. One, the need to write and two, the fact that [...]
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. Price, say £30 (although I had [...]
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 [...]
Some 18 months ago, I commented on the signage that welcomes most people to Burgess Hill and since then have commented on it several times to the leader of the Burgess Hill Business Parks Association.
This morning I had cause to run past Sheddingdean Industrial Estate again and found that a really discreet sign had indeed [...]
After a really fun but quite intense week at work, I have pretty much collapsed this weekend. However, I was up at six this morning and sitting in a chilly tea-house by half past planning for next week. In stark contrast to last weekend, I did not want to run and this was reinforced by [...]
I’ve recently been sitting out most mornings in the tea-house enjoying the early morning sun. This week the weather warmed a little and one morning I was sitting in shorts & t-shirt by 7am. Yesterday however, I walked straight out in my running kit at 6.30am and it was already gloriously warm!
Learning from last week how [...]
