There’s still no good weather here but at least it’s not raining so far. Commando went i off to do his c25k run in the morning. He went along the shore today. He really seems to be enjoying this running business and I wonder if I should download the app and give it a go. Not sure I’m really built for it though. Continue reading

11 June 2011 – rain, rain go away

IMG_4774

It’s been pouring down here and looks like it’s set for the day. Pity because I wanted to finish off the front garden but never mind it will wait. We went into town first thing to get fathers day sorted. I got a water bottle and runners bum bag for CJ to give Commando and Commando got some chocolates for his dad. I also booked a make up makeover appointment at Bobbi Brown for a couple of weeks from now. I wear hardly any make up but thought it was time to have a bit of a change to my boring routine. Should get a few freebies too so it is all good. The woman I have booked with doesn’t wear much make up either so hopefully it will all turn out well. Continue reading

Everyone says it will be fun but it will be manic and I’m taking Commando Junior and Bard along to help out. We will all be answering the phones to take donations. Continue reading

11 February 2011 – walking in the rain and a bad head

20130201-192001

When I set off this morning it was a bit drizzly but I wrapped up well and decided to do laps of the river again so I wouldn’t be too far from home if it got worse. 

The first lap was fine, I saw the black swan again and he seemed to be quite friendly with one of the White swans. Now that could make for some interesting cygnets in the spring! Continue reading

22 November 2009 – Christmas market temptation

Colourful slippers on the German Market

Colourful slippers on the German Market

Today the Christmas lights were switched on in town. We missed it, although we did go to look at the German market. What is it about us and Christmas lights? For all my bah humbug I do like the Christmas market, lots of little stalls with all sorts of interesting things, handmade wooden toys, scarves, slippers, jewellery. There is mulled wine and German sausages, the smell alone has probably made me put on a pound or two. Continue reading
