A change of scenery

I started out using blogger because it was easy and only a click away from my gmail page, but truth be told I find it a bit boring looking so...

I've moved.

I hope you follow me over there, it looks much nicer :o)

Double victory - two firsts in one run.

I crested the highpoint of the run, breathless and tired I was thankful at the realisation that there were no more ups. This was my first trail run and I'd picked a whopper to start with - the first ever Great Trail Challenge and I was running the 10km, also another first for me.

Why losing weight has lost its weight

On a fateful morning in early April I stepped on my bathroom scales. I knew what they were going to say before they'd even finished calibrating.

Yes, I don't drink. No, I don't think it's weird.

We sat down in the restaurant and promptly handed our Groupon voucher over to the girl.

"Do you know what the voucher includes?"

"Um, sort of"

"Well it's 3 courses from the A La Carte menu and a glass of Prosecco each"

"Oh right, well can I swap my glass of Prosecco for a diet coke instead please [raises hand] non-drinking driver here"

"Oh, um, right [turns to Gordon] unless you want both glasses of Proescco because a diet coke is only £1.50?"

"No, that's fine, we'll have a diet coke instead please"
