I'm waiting for news of kittens.

Henry and Sasha are behaving like teenagers

So are Jasper and Ivan. Jasper has been chasing his tail and Ivan has been chasing Jasper and hurdling the furniture.

I usually find walking down stairs after a big bike ride presents the challenge, walking up stairs is OK.

Up or down will get me. Down is definitely worse!

I never learn. Spent 3 or so hours cleaning the PVC veranda and the path at the caravan at the weekend. Didn't wear gloves. My hands are now all dried up and cracked, and the skin is flaking off.

Wear gloves next time.

Try walking anywhere after an 11 mile run, I'm lie a cross between Douglas Bader and the guy in that video.

Morning, we had a lovely red sky earlier.
The Royal Scot ( choo choo ) is supposed to be travelling back up the mainline from Bristol this evening, 18. 06 at Chippenham.

Taking it easy to recharge my batteries yesterday doesn't seem to have had much effect, as I am feeling shattered and I've not been up long.

Oxford is hillier than I remember it.


We have been for a pleasent five mile walk, the weather varied from sunshine to drizzle to monsoon and back again. We did stop at a very good independent coffee shop half way where I sampled a Portuguese custard tart and a mug of white hot chocolate.
White hot chocolate might be my new favouite warm beverage.

It must be looking towards Boars Hill. The A 34 looks a bit damp though.

Sometimes you need to allow for a bit more of a recharge.
Hope you get to see the Royal Scott later.

I feel your pain.

I'm not sleeping due to pain and I'm spending a good 6 or 7 nights a week on the settee. Not easy doing a full time job and trying to exercise after work. Just not going well.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure what to say, I'm not in pain, it's the C.F. has kicked in.

I find that vaseline on my hands at night works wonders but I get told off for leaving it on the door handles.
