The Ashes

This posting is NOT part of the 30 day challenge...

In celebration of The Ashes starting in Australia, here are a couple of pictures of England cricketer Stuart Broad.  I am not a massive cricket fan, but this cute guy could turn me...

Snow day

So global warming is throwing out the English weather and we've had lots more snow. The country is at a standstill and the appointment I had today has been postponed by the client. It's such a shame! So I am stuck at home in the warm and "working" a bit whilst preparing a photobook which will contain the best photographs from various events and holidays in 2009. I have used Blurb to produce the photobook for a couple of years, the images always come out a little dark - but I still think that they are the best of the bunch.

All this snow means that my running plan is ruined - I have a 10k race booked in April and need to put in a lot of time before then. I may have to go into our garage (with a current temperature of 3 degrees) on the cross trainer!

This weeks "5 on the fifth" was well attended and there are same great pictures from the contributors - please visit their sites if you get a chance. I had hoped for 20 people to take part, but considering it's the start of the year and the 5th was on a Tuesday, I have no complaints.

I forgot to mention that when I was in Decathlon last week (see this entry), I was looking for a cheap pair of trainers and saw some Hiking Trainers but they did not fit correctly. I did note on the sign for these "Hiking Trainers", it said "Not suitable for hiking"!

As the England cricket team play in South Africa, I have little interest in the games, other than to watch Stuart Broad...
