How I did it: I started from a history of road and park running - mainly around London. When I was much younger I used to do quite a lot of hill walking but in retrospect I should have a lot more mountain training - fell running etc etc. We set off really well but after four hours my calves were twanging like a banjo and the idea of running the descents was not even an option. The sense of freedom from running without paths or road on the top of a m… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Scanning four in at a time and then using infranview to automatically crop then saved quite a lot of time.Infranview is free so nobody has any excuse - it is most theraputic to have the all on the computer. Read how I did it…
How I did it: 1. Don't shave2. Trim with a beard trimmer3. Don't shave4. Think about using hair conditioner on the beard (it makes it softer)5. Get used to being able to see something on your face.6. Use the beard to hide things7. Avoid getting food in it - runny egg is a particular problemI kept my beard for about 2 years on and off - it has been gone for about 4 months now - I think it will come back again someday Read how I did it…
I have resisted buying things for two days now.
I resisted visiting a really nice charity shop yesterday (age concern on the edgeware road).
Even though I got some really good offers through on email…
There was one that seemed too good to be true – 10 books for £16 – mmmmm books.
There is the small possibility that I have enough stuff.
Too many bargains and so little time.
It turns out that I am an acquistive little magpie who want to build a nest out of bargain books, cds, dvds and computer games.
The number that I have not read, listened to, watched or played is not a good number.
I will stop and be better in future.
I wonder how long it will take me to get back to 65…
My broken ribs stopped me last time…
