Just a quick post to say, hello, and celebrate the fact that i’m on my netbook at my parents’ home! :)
Predictably, they didn’t know the password for the wireless internet. I thought it would be written down on a piece of paper somewhere, but no, it’s worse than that … only my uncle in Yorkshire [...]

I had a nice weekend away with my family in Essex. Yesterday some of us went to Burnham on Crouch for the centenary carnival.

I think i have decided to do nothing at all for new years [...]

I hope everybody had a good Christmas break. I had just about the best Christmas ever. My partner’s parents came to Kent - specifically to Platts Heath, the tiny hamlet where my mum lives. It was so nice to be staying just around the corner from my mum, and our families got on very well [...]

My beloved is away in Germany until Friday and we actually won’t see each other again until we meet in Kent on Saturday. I promise i will eat some vegetables tomorrow, but to be honest, today i had a good meal at lunchtime (it was our department Christmas lunch) and so i’m afraid i copped [...]

I am now into Week 4 of Couch-to-5K and it was the hardest challenge yet. Every run up until now has only included 8 minutes of running, the rest walking.
