Pedalling pinders...Will we make it in one piece?: Training update #10 THE FEAR
http://pedallingpinders.blogspot.com/2010/04/training-update-10-fear.html
Pedalling pinders.Will we make it in one piece? Two siblings, two bikes, two cities. One charity. Wednesday, 7 April 2010. Training update #10 THE FEAR. So I've got the fear now. As of today it is only four weeks until the cycle. That leaves three weekends left of training (plus one for light cycling/sleeping/eating a shed load of ccarbs). Thus far the furthest I have cycled is 67 miles. Once. Never mind four days in a row. Or maybe I'm just making excuses. Ach, this is all a bit doom and gloom isn't it?

http://untitledtwentythree.blogspot.com/2009/12/100days-of-art-day-twelve-whats-story.html
High Culture - Low Culture - Horticulture. Thursday, 17 December 2009. 100days of Art: Day Twelve: What's The Story? Edward Hopper - Automat. But it’s also the absence of a story that can fascinate us and draw us in, Brozino’s Allegory, intrigues precisely because although the story has been lost it so clearly dripping with narrative intent that we have to fill in the blanks. This last detail reminds me of Manet’s Bar at the Folies Bergere. So what’s the story? So after all that what have learnt? 100days...
