ROUTE DONE! LISTEN TO THE MUSIC

Monday 19th Dec 2011

Well my route is now all done and sent in to the Vetters.

I say my route but of course it is AL's route.

I didn't do any of it for once, and I must say it was most relaxing.

I have seen the route of course and IT IS 'AN ABSOLUTE CRACKER'!

But enough of that, because IF I divulge any of it I will have to kill myself.

AL is too far away to kill me so I would have to do the honourable thing.

However I can tell you a bit about it.

We will be starting on the West coast on Fri 11th May somewhere
and finishing on the East Coast on Thu 24th May somewhere.

So anyway, I had fought off this £^cking cold for about a week now, but it has got me in the end.
I felt a bit crock on Thu & Fri last week and decided there are two ways to get rid of a cold.

Method 1 ......  Plenty of Rest


Method 2 ......  Plenty of Exercise

So feeling much better on Saturday, I decided to employ Method 2.

Jasper was feeling a bit neglected, what with dark evenings, too many hours spent working before Christmas, and I needed to go out, so we went for an 8 mile run.

Anyway, method 2 does not necessarily work, so after spending yesterday standing by the side of a Rugby field watching Olly, by the time I got home I felt to put it bluntly $hit!
Testimony to this was the fact that I slept all the way back in the car, then most of the evening on the sofa and then the whole night in bed (normal practise that though).
In fact I was a bit late getting up today, but after a few drugs (medical) I spent a day working,
(as you do) and actually today I feel ok. Not great but OK.
I am thinking that Method 1 seems to be the better method, and I leave that as advice.

BUGGERS WHO GO TO WORK WHILE SICK!

Now I have waxed lyrical about these %^*&ing martyrs before.
You know the ones, bloody people who struggle in germ ridden, snorting their germs over everyone, (and before you say HYPOCRITE, I was NOT coughing and sneezing today, I just felt a bit rough)and causing about 20 working days loss through illness when if they had stayed at home then only 1 person would have been ill for maybe 2 days.

And while we are on the subject bleeding open plan offices and communal air conditioning.
Then you add in the fact that we are a generation now of over cleansing fanatics (not our house I might add), three generations down the line kids will have no immune system.

AND BREATHE!

Anyway, last week I had to run a training session.
The people on it were very pleasant.
BUT! One of them (I will not name them, NOT because I do not want to, I have just forgotten who they were - apparently this is an age thing), had a dreadful cold and a cough.

AND.......Coughs and Sneezes DO spread diseases YOU ARSE!



So where was I? Oh yes, the routes in and we now await the deliberations of the wonderful Vetters.

 

Lisa Gerrard - Sacrifice
One of my favourite pieces of music of ALL Time.
JUST CRANK UP THE VOLUME, CLOSE YOUR EYES & LISTEN!

If this does not make your spine tingle, you have no emotions!

This woman has a stunning voice!

The picture below is for James Boulter who I had the great pleasure of walking with during our Ingleborough debacle

Just to show what the Fens do have to offer in terms of fantastic scenery (just joking James )

And if Lisa Gerrard is NOT to your liking then this is also a brilliant track, and may well be appearing on a future Blog.

Aynsley Lister - Need Her So Bad
Just click on this and listen to the Blues!
