Well.. Here I am. After many months of chatting about opening a blog, I have finally done it. I am hoping that it is one of these things that you improve on with time, because at the moment i definately feel a distinct writers block feeling! I think the blog is really important for me to do, on a couple of levels. For myself, to be able to record and reflect on my experience (not to mention remember it, as time passes!) but also for my family, and those not connected on Facebook to be able to see what I am doing. Facebook aside, blogging seems a far more productive way to share my thoughts and experiences over a mere status update.... read more

Well it's now Wednesday night and I think your Dad and I have just about recovered from the weekend!!! Actually I supppose it all started on the actual day ....... last Wed; our Silver Wedding. For a start I can't believe I'm old enough to have been married for 25yrs, so I was traumatised about that, at work I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card containg money and the good wishes of quite a few of my colleagues, of course I shared it with Dad, we also got a nice bale of towels for the new bathroom and a lovely silver photo frame from Elaine. I managed to negotiate an early-ish finish and Dad picked me up, we headed home to wash and change before heading out to Nams with Granny and Grandpa ... read more

well just as I thought that all was up to date, I read the entries we had posted so far, Lo and behold one missing. So here we go............................. One day a while back I agreed to do a 10km charity run at Strathclyde Park, as normal an adequate amount of pre-run training was programmed and good dietary discipline was adhered to, the day of the run drew near and unfortunateley I developed a bit of a bad cold, during the deterioration of the local weather, wind and rain, rain and wind, wind and more rain, more wind and more rain and more rain. Then more rain and more, more wind. Pretty bad weather so the week before I felt as if I was recovering and was looking forward to the run, on the tuesday I ... read more

hello it's mum here, no i haven't gone all technical dad set this up for me! Well we made it safely back from Stratford with me doing most of the driving as dad was too tired after his late night at the party, it was a late night on Friday too as we didn't arrive at Stratford until after 11 and he can't handle 2 late nights in a row anymore!! To say Uncle Dinger was gobsmacked the whole weekend is an understatement, I've never seen him so lost for words in 24 years. The best bit was the bike though, he just kept saying "wow", I actually missed the arrival of the bike as i was in the shower but i heard all about it. Anyway we popped into town got his pressie (vouchers for ... read more

hello out there well we have not been on for a for a while as we have been very busy like busy bees today is a monday and we were in Stratford for the weekend at Dingers 50th birthday so it was very, very busy and the journey south took longer than expected as the wee rover has a blowing exhaust so after an executive decision, in mums absence I booked a hire car but had to pick it up at glasgow airport due to the late arranging of it. The guy was very apologetic and couldn't find the booking so he asked when I had booked it ? "An hour ago probably." says I, "Oh that's why. It is still in the system." a couple minutes later all is well. So heading south at a ... read more
