It's 91 days until the Lewa half marathon. So today I've started working on my speed training. Never was a phrase more inappropriate. Fast I am not.

Strange Signs

During my University life I collected photos of badly translated signs. This sign in my hotel room today made me laugh and reminded me of those days. I must locate those old photos or start a new collection.

Mum’s Bragging Rights

Today my 8 year old son, decided to put to use skills learnt at school and produce a Diamond Jubilee picture in PowerPoint.  He used images from the internet (mainly the official Jubilee website) and then saved his poster as a picture.  So I'm now a very proud Mum, but slightly embarassed trainer, as he … Continue reading Mum’s Bragging Rights
