Hats off to the Council

This morning was grey, but the sun snuck a peek under the clouds for a while and filtered gently through the trees. Nick is currently under the weather (I wonder if he’s been snogging a recuperating Cliff) so I decided to make a run for it on my own.

Next project please!

Summer gave us a really warm goodbye last weekend and I was determined to make the most of the fine weather by finishing the teahouse.  On went the sliding door that Kim had specified and up went the edging boards.  There are still a couple of internal tasks to do, but that’ll give me something [...]

Autumn drawers on

May I be the first to wish you all a very Happy Autumn!  It started at 11.44 EDT (blog time), which I’m guessing is 4.44pm BST for those of you in Blighty.

Apparently, since it is the Autumn Equinox, the sun rose directly in the East this morning and will set directly in the West.

Those of you [...]

Quick run

Nick & I had a meeting scheduled for 9am this morning and he suggested that we squeeze a quick run in first. Twenty minutes into the run, he pointed out that he hadn’t meant quite this quick.

You may struggle to see what I did today!

Sunday passed

Whilst an intention existed, it was not exercised, so Sunday has passed sans run.

Wednesday passed

It’s rare that the comment precedes the post, but Nick managed to beat me by four days this time and since my memory fades after about five minutes, you’ve little hope of hearing very much more about tWednesday.

Replay, speeded up

I propose an annual timed route of about ten or twelve miles, with a handicap system based on the number of miles run by the individual in the previous 12 months… which gives Daren a fighting chance, with only a 65m superyacht to run around for months on end!

Demolition in progress

The last time I ran with Dai it was chucking it down with rain, so it was rather appropriate that Daren, Dai and I should choose this morning to run since it was once again precipitating in-extremis.  In every other way though, it was a lovely day to go out running.  And a good day [...]

And finally, on all fours…

Forasmuch as, forbearance, forerunner, foresee, foresight, formative, forte, forthright, fortitude, fortissimo, forty, ah, close… all the fours, forty-four.  Bingo!  It really was that kind of day yesterday!  I guess I’ll have to be fortified next.
