working at it slowly

xpost Tubs.  In my defence some red wine had been consumed and much sloblock was being spoken ( not all of it by me, surprisingly)

Morning,

(((Podds))) sterkte.

(((Yumms))) ah, the joys of parenthood. The problem is that, in order to get long-term gains, life in the short-term gets more difficult and unpleasant .

Spence, I have no idea why your school is getting blamed, it sounds as if there might be some inadequate people around...

Glad that the knee is not feeling too bad, Amandax.

Boo to miserable weather, Noggy! There is much to be said for exercising inside in warm water .

Alfie has happily accepted your admiration. He loves chewing cardboard, shredding paper and charging round the room under a sheet of paper or card. Little woozle! 

(((WIN)))

WAIST well xxx

I shall look this evening Sluggie as we seem to have a more PITA ICT policy in place currently which is blocking far more than it used to................ 

Anyone would think we were here to work! 

He looks remarkably like old Charlie 

The FGO was not as muddy as I thought he would be this morning which was a bonus ... we had a drizzly wander round the lanes and met up with a very pretty horse/pony out with his mum so we had some company for a while which was nice

I haveswam and gymned and shopped and eaten

Back to w*rkm tomorrow and I have a whole week of lates with a night shift stuck on the end so may be a little absent but I shall ensure that Santa gets his list out  

**Waves**

Amandax, saw your FB update, well done and hope the toe isnt giving you too much jip.

Sluggy - Alfie is lovely and he is obviously enjoying himself!

Podds what a fab picture, love it.  Not sure my house could fit in 8 hounds!

Sorry I havent been round much, I feel a total fraud in the fact that I've fall off the running band-wagon.  So much is going on I'm finding it difficult to get into a routine, and I hate the dark mornings.  I just seem to be going work, coming home on the fone to family then bed.

Mum is looking to be discharged as soon as she get accommodation, SnAunty is recovering well but will probably be in hosptial for another 2 weeks, her OH is calling me telling me how much pain he is in (dont ask he's friggin annoying), and fingers cross MrS is in a job he likes (so far so good anyway).  In between all that I have to fit in decorating our house and xmas shopping 

Speaking of which has SS been allocated yet, I may have been a bit dash-happy deleting emails!

On a more positive note, we went to North Petherton Carnival on saturday (Bridgewater carnival), it was bloody amazing, I've never seen anything like it.  I've posted loads of pics on FB. will try to get a couple on here.  Would highly recommend it, but wrap up well cuz its a bit brrrrrrrrrr

Anyway off home

Cracking photos Tubbs - Megs was obviously in fine fettle and Oskar is just adorable

Will look at Alfie photos shortly but must jump in the shower....because....shock, horror..........

..........I've been to the club run!!

And I was nearly late as I was going from work and it was persisting down the whole time but those runs count double

Back once showered and fed

Tubs ..... how very quicky they go from adorable to devil  

He does look very much at home and especially in that last one!

The lady I met today was complimenting Murph on looking good for 21/22,  he's not exactly had a hard life !!

Podds ...  run club, are you sure?!!!

Oh I missed Fling and Blue and the chilled Oskar - what a lovely menagerie you have Tubbs

Indeed I am - you'll have to imagine an offended smiley here

I have a XC on sunday which I promised I'd do which is around 6 miles so I thought I'd best check I could manage at least 4 today.....
But it won't last I shouldn't think - with Chrimbo appearing on the horizon (sorry Noggs!) my training always goes to pot...

Oh and Sluggy - Alfie was well worth the wait - he looks so sleek and happy he is clearly being well spoilt

Hoping to get a good few sessions in this week as I am on lates all week so whilst I may not be awake early enough to see the FGO every day I should be able to squeeze in some kind of exercise !!
