Bumped into two celebrities, Matt Lucas and Barbara Windsor.

Top Tips for 2007

Over at the other place, I've done a meme regarding 2007 and what we might expect. Here, I have one main target - and that's to finish the Trek safely and in one piece!

Top tip - don't try and outrun a cheetah.

Big Drip

Didn't listen to the weather report last night. Boy, did it bucket doen this morning along Aylmer Road at 7.00am. Luckily, I was wearing the correct apparel. Can't do a training session with out the right gear can you!

That East Finchley Monthly Paper, The Archer

Needless to say, I'm pleased with getting in to this months edition. See other Blog

"Effing nippy, innit"

......said the bloke in the newsagents this morning. He was about to make a purchase of 20 Rothmans and a copy of the Sun. " Well, what do you expect - after all it's November in England" said I jokingly. "Spoze your right" he gruffed angrily.

What a miserable bugger. Some of us, of course, had been up since 5.30am and had done a 3 mile walk. Do we complain? Never.

The only mild disappointment was being met at 6.51am by a security guard. Mr "Jobsworth" explained that the Kenwood Estate and Hampstead Heath weren't "open" until 7am. I pointed out that one can stroll on to the Heath elsewhere at any time. But of course, he wasn't having any of it.

Well - did you?

Alter your time-pieces.

Lovely weather today. Hampstead Heath awaits.

Always difficult to get up at 6 on a rainy morning!
