Lots of fun at VLM today. Cheered and clapped so much my throat and hands hurt.

Gave an extra big cheer to Mrs *m.f but I don't think she saw me. Hope she got the time she wanted!

Feel very inspired to go for a run now but very tired from working the expo/race double whammy... maybe tomorrow...

Expo is same as ever.some shady new tech.
No Nike.no inov8 .boo

Good to meet you at the expo today - if you're near mile 13.5 tomorrow come say hi. And I'll give an extra big cheer for 525!

doubt so, esp as its a closed road ride.

Good. It'll only be embarrassing, then, rather than dangerous...

I'm marshalling, should be fun. Hopefully it doesn't matter too much that I'm a little fuzzy on my lefts and rights...

Shambolicity is an excellent word, even if it's not really a "real" word.

If anyone is going to the London Marathon on Sunday and wants to join me cheering, I’ll be there (in work capacity) at mile 13.5. I will have ponchos...

Motor skills are improving! That is a sign of growing up...

I know, I’m very proud of myself. Next step, shoes with laces!

Your new found friends and we cant even celebrate your birthday with you...

sniff sniff

Nah, I can be like the queen and have 2 birthdays, with my “official” birthday on Tuesday at the Albert.

Heh :)

It's Britain's most remote pub. I'm not actually going there, just wanted to see if you would...

Sounds rubbish. Going to a pub you're not sure you really want to go to that's miles away from where you want to be, because no-one could agree on where they were going tonight, with nothing but idiots from the internet for company, is clearly a much better way to spend your evening.

Haha, you’re right, let me just text my friends and let them know there’s a change of plan.

Sounds amazing. Are there any moving objects near by that you could fall over though?!

I’ll be dancing, I won’t need any assistance in falling over. Actually, I haven’t fallen over for 3 whole days, I hope that doesn’t mean I’m a grown up sensible person now...

Happy birthday!

Thanks :)

wheres our invite?!

No problem, meet here at 7pm: www.theoldforge.co.uk

I’ll come along on Tuesday, but can’t this evening as it’s my birthday and I’ve made wholly unoriginal but quite fun plans – AKA getting hammered in a pub and dancing to terrible music.

Duly noted!

Things Ian needs - house, model,

Anything else?

Long sleeved tops.

Would it be a good idea to bring 8 or 9 drain rod sections for distribution/leaving with Hats?

Sounds good to me - how big/heavy are they? I will probably be on a bike with panniers that day so can load the bike up like a mule...

In for the 28th! I've put my name down to marshal at the Big Ride, so some noodles afterwards would be lovely:

1. Poots.
   
2. Bernie
   
3. hats
   
   

In other news, the likelihood of me being able to do the ride and run is diminishing, and I may end up just doing the run. In which case I'd be happy to take as many brushes/bags/etc as I can carry on the train to Oxford in the morning, and we can leave them at FOB's bike watch and brush emporium.

Great news Bernie! We’ve got just over 3 weeks to go so I’m sure we can raise a really good amount for such a good cause.

Don’t forget, if anyone would like me to add their name to the JustGiving page, just drop me a line and I’ll do it.

Meeting up at SE’s on the 1st (or the 8th) might be a bit more complicated as SE’s is on the move and won’t be at the Roebuck. Maybe we should choose another date/venue?

Yep. It's really fighty, too.

What about the Fox On The Hill in Denmark Hill? Lots of outdoor space and cheap beer. Everything else about the pub is terrible but it’s REALLY near my house...

Cause you kept telling me to put my clothes back on

You did take your top off at least 6 times, that I saw...

Hah, I was also wondering if you worked for Shelter. Robbie in the policy team is my other half. Rides a Dahon.

Small world!! I work in a different department to him but will say hi next time I see him :)

you don't work at shelter on old street then do you? saw a cyclist type going in there the other morning and thought he looked a bit forumenger like.

Yep. That wasn’t me though (I’m not a he). Not sure who that could have been, I see the same bikes in the bike shed every day but wouldn’t be able to identify their owners.

You couldve worked with aadopted kids and i would have asked if you could adopt me too being out soon

You did call me “mum” quite a few times, maybe it was a subconscious thing.

Ah, all these offers of places to stay, looks like ChainBreaker won’t need to get in touch with Shelter after all...

Great opening line the other day though: “so, you work at with the homeless, can you find me a home?”

soft

Soluble, more like.

Not for me this week, I’m meeting a friend for a refreshing soda water or two before heading home to do more work and attempt to fix my bike.

Next week! And can it not rain next week please, it’s getting boring now.

You can choose rounders as a specialist sport?!?

Turns out that softball is pretty similar to rounders. The rules were explained but I was having a bit of a daydream and missed them – what I can work out is that you whack the ball as hard as you can and then run until someone who knows the rules tells you to stop. When you’re fielding you get to wear a big glove and it is faintly amusing to see if you can fit your face in the glove.

It was actually reasonably fun, in as much as hitting things and throwing things tends to be fun. I wouldn’t call it a sport though...
