Siobhan at work is running the London Marathon today - best of luck, it hurts me doing my little bit around Bengeo :((

Talked to me about joining a club for motivation - or looking for a local 5k run to aim for - tried that last year and was bitterly disappointed when it didn't come to fruition. So, just going to continue to take small steps..get below 30 mins for my little routeb - then extend the run to follow another path around a quarry...

Today's was good - once I manage to go more than 50 steps without stopping to breath it'll be better !!






The field looks lush ....just my colour :))

Last Away Day ..,,

Watford played Peterborough yesterday - had a great time⚽

This place is rather good for an ale (or 2 )



Saw some strange animals...




We were the last league visitors to watch from the terracing - shame in the FA....













And how we were not 5 goals to the good only their goalie & Troy knows !!!

Dooodle Eh Doo Doo..It's the Woodie Woodpecker show !!

Put up a new peanut feeder at the weekend...blue tits love it as does this guy Suzie caught yesterday !!

Still running ...well it has been a week :)

Determined to keep this up this year ....Here's this evenings time around my little course...



Down from 33 mins :))

St Pauls & Boswell...

Just been re-reading some of my rambling on here - came across this one http://lendal.blogspot.co.uk/2006/10/plans-plans-plans.html

particulary the bits about James Boswell.  Went for another wander on Thursday & in The National Portrait Gallerey found the man himself...

 Looked deep in his eyes and told him I KNOW him now - I'm up to 1778-1782, when his father dies & he becomes the Laird of Auchinlek...he really was a bastard to his wife and kids (not in a harsh brutal way - just lack of contact)...prostitutes... alcoholism...a father who patently is more than dissatisfied with his offspring...BUT he does recognise this...to quote

"It is unpleasing to observe how imperfect a picture of my life this journal presents. Yet I have certainly much more of myself  thus preserved than most people have."

 My fave coffee spot in Leicester Sq...

 View from coffee spot Tate Modern...

 St. Paul's from the Tate...

Rainbow over St Paul's  - from the South Bank...

An fun filled Easter for us....

It has been traditional for Suzie & Me to make the Easter pilgrimage to Weymouth to camp and contend with wind, rain, ice and, occasionally, sunshine...however this year it was a bit viccy verca...Claire et al came to brave the wilds of Hertfordshire and camp near us  http://www.westmillfarmcampsite.co.uk/.  

 First night camping in the nest....

Who's that sleeping in OUR bed....

 A walk in the bit of sun we had - Hartham Common...

 A bit of fishing...

 A McDONALDS !!!

 Hunting for the Eggs....(Suzie the great hider)

 Mnnnn - now where did I put them...:))

 Malik the climber finds his....

 Alisha is FAR too tall....

 Three happy bunnies...

 Fun at Knebworth

 Camlin's there...honest!!

 Go Suzie...

 A quick way through..if you're teeny..

 A bit harder if you're not!!

 Go girl...

 Choo Choo...

 FOOD

 Don't you just love it when they put a HORNET in the joust...

 My favourite piece of sculpture...

 Hiya...

 more FOOD...

It was fun... (okay the camping was cold & wet...!!)

Saturday morning...

So, what to do on a Saturday morning...? Suzie is catching up on Frost whilst having a lie in...

Me - up to watch F1 qualifying & then out for another run (walk - breathe)run...

It's a lovely spring day out there - nice enough to hopefully take Suzie's mind off the fact the only job she's been offered has been offered at the wage of an office junior straight from school with no training AND just for three months...firm appears to be wanting the experience but trying to get away with not paying for it...Suzie not the first one they've offered it to!!

Rape seed growing rapidly...



Must get hay fever tablets today...

Oh & speed wise - slowly getting towards last years pace!

Running (walking)running(walking)...again :)

WOW...just been for my first run since late July '11 !!

Returned alive, hot, itchy - last years corn is now this hay fever inducing crop :-




So it's chemists next !!

Really quite surprised at my time around my little course - not too distant from last year and recovering well... and I can still breath !!
