Here’s a link if you don’t know where it is. [Arran link] That’s maybe not a phrase you here very often but for most of our anniversary trip to Arran it was fantastic weather. Couple of showers on the Sunday the 20th but nothing too onerous, followed by a gorgeous…
R.I.P. Nike Air
My Nike Air trainers have finally reached the end of their life after oh, I dunno, ABOUT 8 YEARS!!! They were bought in a footlocker in New York in 1999 during a trip to see the first of the final trilogy of Star Wars movies – The Phantom Menace -which…
Motorcycle ponderings part 2
Hmmmm, still pondering. Started it up on Sunday afternoon and ran it to keep it from rotting away completely… Its now positioned slightly differently in the garage to force me into going past it every day – rather than it being tucked away in a corner. So still thinking about…
Been sorta quiet
Not been inspired to blog much this month. Was laid up with the cold for a couple of days last week leading up to the bank holiday – typical. So Wednesday/Thursday was spend wandering aimlessly about the house mopping at my snotty nose. Watched lots of episode of Battlestar Galactica…
Theme Switch (temporary!)
Out at mum’s just now on her old Windows ’98 machine using Internet Explorer 6 and just noticed my usual fancy theme wasn’t working so switched to this much simpler one for a wee while – until I can get the other one sorted. Quite nice and simple this one though…
Office outing V2.0
This time it was just me – went the same route as with the guys a Wednesday or so back and stopped off to see mum – she was in this time 🙂 Glass o’ water and a chocolate square – it’s what all the best athletes take – and…
Creak creak
No, its not my knees after the cycle but my bicycle itself. Thought something was completely knackered when I cycled to and from work yesterday as there was an ominous creaking from the crank. Found out it was my left pedal last night so thought I had worn the bearings…
Office outing
Four of us from the office managed to get our collective butts in gear and get out for a bike ride this evening straight after work. The route we followed was basically this one with a bit of a detour in Balerno to steal some home baking from mum’s (she…
Homework for the last week – mp3 meditation downloads
This week I have mostly been doing some work on Feel Good Therapies. Been quite interesting in that I’ve been setting up mp3 downloads – very cheap at only 99p. Lorraine has done all the hard work of creating the tracks and I’ve stuck them on a download provider called…
Weekend of eating out
A belated mother’s day treat on Saturday found us and mum at The Tower for lunch. Delicious food all round as expected! After that there was no need for any evening meal other than some maltesers in the cinema as we watched Premonition followed by some Toast when we got…
