Happy Solstice
Just a quick message to wish everyone happy Solstice - didn't go to Stonehenge this year as it was a bit cloudy last night (I know lightweight) but I didn't think it could better the gorgeous sunrise that I saw back in 2005.
Bit of bad news re my computer as it has now gone to computer heaven - the lads at work in IT who were most impressed with my computer talk about silver hedgehogs falling off mother boards said it isn't something straightforward so I could end up shelling out a lot of money to try and locate the fault. Hoping to splash out on a new laptop next month so the photos will have to wait till then as a) the library (where I am now) have disabled all the cd drives b) work blocks this site and c) the photos were on my comp and I hadn't done a back up for ages - lesson learnt there - thankfully I still have them on my camera - sometimes there are benefits to not being organised.
Off to Glastonbury this week - and the weather's not looking too bad there were a few suns on the Metcheck forecast for next weekend (not the most reliable site in the world) - so I'll reserve judgement till I've seen Countryfile tomorrow. Running wise I've been training quite a bit - but amazingly not lost a pound you would think running 20+ miles a week would make some impact - getting a bit quicker but still not back to the glory days of 2005 and finished 13th in a ladies race last night (and there wasn't just 13 runners!!!!). It was quite surreal and I did get a bit panicky after almost a mile downhill that I was in 8th place - I've never been that well up a field before unfortunately I did drop back a bit when we had to climb back up the hill but I'm still pleased with result - so I think I would be probably have a chance of glory and accolades if I could find a totally downhill Ladies race which for some strange reason seem a bit thin on the ground.
Right off for a mooch round Milletts at frying pans - exciting I know - but some girls like going clothes shopping with me it's camping shops - which means I end up with clothing older than some of my work colleagues and a shed full of camping equipment.
See yah.......
