I’m disappointed, Moose. There’s another alternative meaning of the phrase ‘old man’ (although, OK, it doesn’t make sense in this context). Even so, I’d have thought you’d have gone straight for the penis.

Just got sent a link to this – it’s a spine-tingling version of Higher Love from Lilly Winwood and her old man Stevie. Well worth four minutes of your time. (Heads up: if you stop the clip a few seconds before the […]

Hi, Dai.
Well done on the running.I’ve been going a bit stir crazy as I had a foot injury and had to have about eight weeks off from the usual exercising. Back on track now with swimming and rather slow […]

I’m very excited. A foot injury has made me an immobile mardy-arse for the past three weeks, but I’m going down to the rugby club with the rest of the ladies’ team to watch the matches this afternoon, which should […]

Yep – you’re right, on the hypnotic bit, and on the origins of this. These are the same people – plus a couple of hundred more – and the Foo Fighters responded to their original stunt: […]

Don’t know, but just imagine the thrill of it. The joy of communing. With shitloads of drums.

There’s so much to like about this. Personal highlights: grey-haired accountant man guitarist giving it some welly in amongst the headbangers; little boy on drums going for the big finish; the Conductor Of Rock; […]

Hey, @dai. I’m fine, thanks, just offline a bit at the moment trying to keep on top of Real Life Stuff. Feeling fit and healthy though, thanks to up the patented Chubby Checker mantra: eat better, drink less, move more.

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Sounds painful. You need one of those headtorch thingies to light your way.
Hope the pain eases. I’ve always wondered, what do they actually do for cracked ribs, anyway? -

The problem with the Santa costumes was that they were one size fits all – enormous! Thankfully, someone had warned me to take a belt and plenty of pins.
Sounds like the tennis and stairwork will have more than […]

Thanks, Bingo. We’ve appreciated your contributions, and you’ve given us some good advice over the year.
Well done on the 1,000 km – that’s good going. And shedding two stone you didn’t know you had to lose. […]http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a493/drakeygirl1/IMG_0094_zpsivp9hpus.jpg

I do like the sound of those vineyards, Lodestone. In terms of aesthetic appeal and the urge to imbibe!

EXERCISE – Charity Santa 5k run was fun. Other runs this week included a best 10k time (by a minute). Rugby training in freezing fog. And a mammoth squash session. (I mean a long squash session, not playing a […]

It really is the festive season – I joined several hundred Santas for a charity 5k run on Sunday. I wore my backpack as a Santa belly frontpack and developed an interesting ‘who ate all the mince pies?’ run […]
