Travel 2011 – Monza
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th April 2011 – Monza, Como, Brunate Wednesday was all about the travelling, and it was late in the evening when we made it to Milan Linate and then spent some time trying to round up our hire car. That got interesting, largely because Avis’ website is not quite as informative as it…
Theatre/Food 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley
Saturday, 12th/Sunday, 13th February 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley On Saturday we made what was a rare trip to the theatre. Given the costs of train travel to London for two people, along with the cost of tickets, it’s not something we’ve been able to do that often…

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.

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…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Days 1 and 2
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th October 2010 – Monaco, Days 1 and 2 I’ve been missing in action for such a long time now that it’s very hard to know where to start, so I’ll make it simple and go with where I am right now and what I’m doing. After a long complicated summer, Lynne 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 2009 – Faro, Tavira, Days 6 and 7
Wednesday, 16th/Thursday, 17th September 2009 – Faro, Tavira, Days 6 and 7 By Wednesday we were becoming very relaxed indeed. Again we breakfasted late and had to fend off the friendly cat. He became even more of a pest as we wandered around the hotel gardens, which are a major part of the attraction of…
