Monday 20th February to Friday 24th February, 2017 – Copenhagen So one more week in Copenhagen and slowly going nuts in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia because actually three weeks in the same hotel is too long for anyone. The first night of the week I didn’t really feel like going far so wandered out with…

Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 2, Day 1
Saturday 18th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark And so after another week at the training coalface, A. arrived in good time on the Friday evening for us to indulge in a quick drink in the hotel bar before we trekked over to O Tempo (using slightly more buses than might have been necessary if we’d…
Events 2016 – Christmas at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock
Tuesday 27th December, 2016 – Christmas at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock Everyone’s doing it these days it seems, so after a bit of discussion we decided we would go and try out the Christmas light display at Blenheim Palace, a 40 minute drive away from home. We shelled out for tickets and for car parking,…
Running 2012 – Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon from the Other Side
Some people may know that I was in charge of the marshals at this event yesterday. It’s tough being a frustrated (non)-runner, especially as I had an entry, paid for back when I was optimistic enough to think this would be a short-term injury layoff. However, apart from a brief moment of tearfulness as I…
Running 2010 – Spooky Sprint 10K, Holme Pierrepoint
Saturday, 30th October 2010 – Spooky Sprint 10K, Holme Pierrepoint So my 3rd 10k of the year was on Saturday, 30th October, the so-called Spooky Sprint, a 10k to raise money for Parkinson’s UK around the National Water Sports Centre at Holme Pierrepoint near Nottingham. The course was described as mainly flat and the map…
Running 2010 – Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone
19th October 2010 – My Next Running Task, Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone Well, in between updating the Monte Carlo trip I reckoned I’d add some other bits and pieces of information before I start trying to catch up with everyone else’s news (and if there is something you really think I should see, please link…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3
Friday, 15th October 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3 Friday morning I got up relatively early and went for a swim in the hotel pool – which was heart-stoppingly cold that early in the day. The sun was just coming up behind the building and hadn’t hit the water, but I soon warmed up and…
Running 2010 – Northampton 10K, Northampton
Sunday, 3rd October 2010 – Northampton 10K, Northampton Today I ran the Northampton 10k – it was great fun. Here’s how it went. I woke up a bit later than I’d intended to (set the alarm for 7am then didn’t switch the on switch, so I woke up at 7.20 instead). I lurched around getting…
Running 2010 – Race for Life, Silverstone
Wednesday, 9th June 2010 – 10K Race for Life, Silverstone So finally 9th of June rolled around and all the training I had done was going to either pay off and I might be able to call myself a runner, or I was going to be horribly shown up as a fraud and end up…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 3
Sunday, 7th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 3 Sunday dawned reasonably bright and sunny while we ate breakfast: It was just as impressive as the day before: By the time we’d worked our way through that lot, the weather had turned and it was hideously soggy, with the rain coming down almost horizontally. It also didn’t…
