Just about recovered from Berlin now… Even the email password in fact. Woot!

Password paranoia
Never change the password for your web-based email account when you’re drunk a little worse for wear. You’ll never remember it the next day and then Google will make you wait five days before letting you go through the security questions.
Arse.
Don’t feel like flying
I should really get on a tube, well at least a U-bahn would do. I have work on Monday and I really don’t feel like going!
That is all.
Best birthday ever
OK, so I’m a bit late posting the photos…
I think the title of this post says it all! Thank you to everyone who came and especially the nice person who turned up halfway through the party to my complete and utter surprise. But in the nicest possible way, natch 🙂
Happy Birthday to me
This is why it took me two hours to get home from work the other day. Meh.
In other news, I survived Laurie’s roller disco birthday extravaganza last night, which turned out to be heaps more fun than expected, and less dangerous than feared. Well done on a great choice and Happy Birthday for yesterday. Now it’s my turn! 🙂
Little fluffy clouds
There’s lots of tiny little flies hovering around the flat at the moment, a situation which I’m sure has been getting worse over the past couple of days. Much like me they seem particularly attracted to plates of food and glasses of wine. They also like it quite a lot in the bin – not like me. Despite their size, they’re annoying and not particularly pleasant.
*pauses to watch a police car scream past the window*
Today’s run time was a pleasing yet slightly annoying 35 minutes and 4 seconds, a clear improvement on my time five weeks ago. Still much work to do before the event on the 8th of October – and sponsorship to collect. I’ll be pestering you all soon :-).
The world at war
And it seemed like such a normal morning when I woke up, actually quite refreshed from getting a decent night’s sleep…
Update: It’s now nearly 9pm and I haven’t noticed a single plane going into Heathrow yet… Given that we live around 10 miles away from the airport, just north of one of the main air approaches, that’s a bit strange.
It’s like 1930
They had carrier bags in 1930, right?
Highlights of this weekend’s activities in Leam have included the following:
- Picnics in Jephson Gardens
- Home-made canelloni and classy cocktails in Bar 44
- Falling out with a Tesco self-scan machine
- Much hilarious retro picture taking
Certainly worth the hot, uncomfortable and crowded trains to get there and back (silly engineering work!). Now I’m off to cook some dinner.
Speed equals distance over time
Today, the training began in earnest for the Nike 10K in October – not that I enjoy copying people, I just don’t like to be left out. 🙂
Despite not wanting this to be a “look how fit I am!” blog entry, I’ll skip right to the figures, which I’m bound to forget within a couple of days if I don’t record them now. So –
Total Distance = 6.4 km
Total time = 37:17 = 0.621 hours
Average Speed = 6.4 / 0.621 = 10.3 km/h
This brings back nasty memories of GCSE exams. Speed equals distance over time. Indeed.
And here’s the map:
No, Really
OK, so now it’s really back again. Honest 🙂
