Random nights in....




Hello Bloggettes, Its been a long week already... I ended up in Darton on Friday night (for obvious reasons to anyone who is my friend on Facebook) .

I had to be back in Runcorn by 10am for my photography course.... It was quite good. Even though there was a bloke there with a strange foot fetish! - very odd...

On Monday I arranged a pic to promote our James Bond-themed firework display.. (Some of which I may atttach to this entry)

I actually did the 30 lengths of swimming/walking on Monday for the first time in weeks. (Couldn't quite manage it on Wednesday though not bad for someone with a third the normal lung function for someone my ages..)

This is why I am such a gym bunny - I have to compensate by making everything else super-efficient. The body is such an amazing thing....

It is my birthday tomorrow and mum is coming over for the evening. Kate is coming over on Friday for the weekend and we are going for a meal and a pub crawl with some work colleagues.

On Sunday I am going to the Wigan v Villa game with Rob... Weekend sorted...
Talking of Facebook don't ever try the Word Challenge game tipsy.. You just get beaten a lot and keep playing and although your vocab improves your cred goes on free fall...

The long and winding road...the M62

Hello Folks,

Mark-ville has been very busy of late (when is it not to be honest) - I have had a manic, but enjoyable time, spending a lot of time on the M62 between Widnes and Barnsley...

We also re-visited a cinema we last went to in in 1992 (then it was 'Beauty and The Beast', this time it was 'How to Lose Friend and Alienate People)

Actually seen The Simpsons film at last and drank way too much pink wine.. Also spent a morning making coffee for the staff of Swintons in Wakefield (long story!)

Am off up north tonight - So sorry this is again a short post.... Cold almost gone and now going to try and get back to regime properly... Hope to get back to 30 lengths by next week...

Went to the circuits class for the first time in ages last night - felt better for it but am suffereing today... Anyone know anyone good at massage? Luckily I do!

Hugs....

Random nights out....


Hello Bloggettes,

Busy time in Markville - Included a 70s night, Cambridge lads' weekend, Newmarket, greyhound racing and Wakefield......

It has also included time in Leeds, random nights in Darton (Barnsley) and drunken MSM chats...And a lot of texting...

And RG has dumped CA at last - which is good news all round. Especially for Random Girl and Random Boy....

On the downside cold - which I am suffering from at the moment! This came the day I had my CF outpatients in Liverpool - sods law eh?

But it meant at least next time my lung capacity MUST be up on this time.

Seriously they are worred the cold may get onto my lungs (it already has a little bit) so they are pumping me with anti-biotics.

My ability to exercise is hampered by this. So am doing a little, often unti I can do more... The problem then it takes me a ling time to build up again...

I also had an ENT appointment (they are finally going to look at my damaged voicebox, prob with speech therapy, as long as I don't start speaking Scouse!)

ALSO had flu-jab - what a week? October is going to be great though... More to follow..... Watch this space....
