Mumto5 - ouch! We did an 18 mile round trip to a pub for lunch on my birthday last year which we enjoyed but it does make you sore. I swear by proper technical socks for no blisters - mine are Aldi cheapies but they are great.

"Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k.

Morning all,
Well Moon and I went to the DIY store to find out about getting a new kitchen, as we were given a little bit of money for our wedding presents so that we can do up the house. We've got a designer coming out to the house on Friday morning, so fingers crossed I'm not asked to work (as you can see, I've not had a call today so far), as Moon never asks the right questions, or remembers the answers if he does.
We went over to a friend's house afterwards to look at their holiday footage, as they've just returned from a Route 66 road trip in the US, and we unexpectedly ended up being invited to dinner. It was nearly 11pm when we got home, and I couldn't get to sleep, so I'm secretly quite pleased I've not had to rush out to a school this morning.
Well I suppose I'd better make a start on the lists. Is anyone up for a HHC 11.15-11.45?
Happy birthday to FFP. Hope you have a lovely day, and it's nice to see you back.
Also welcome back ruth.

Well, I managed to unload and reload TD (the line is full and lots more to do), wiped kitchen surfaces, binned the junk mail, cleaned the hob and made a cuppa!! It's a bit too hot so going to run the hoover round and then sit for ten with cuppa before going to work.....xx0
