Further exploits: Open University Tour 2010 - Day 1
http://furtherexploits.blogspot.com/2010/10/open-university-tour-2010-day-1.html
Tuesday, 26 October 2010. Open University Tour 2010 - Day 1. This is the annual OU Tour - the three handicap race distances (5 mile, 5 k and 10 k) run all in one week on the Monday, the Wednesday and the Friday. On the tour, we all start together rather than staggering the times according to ability. Thanks Brian - looking forward to Day 2! Here is a picture of us at the starting line. I am hiding at the back somewhere. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How to: make a sweater cushion.

Further exploits: December 2010

Friday, 3 December 2010. I just wanted to post this here in case it disappears. At its most prosaic the river is a boundary, at its most practical it is a resource. For my mother it is the ‘dark water’ (an object of fear) and indeed for others it is a killer and a grave. For me the river is a journey, for unlike the road it has direction; and that direction is onwards, always onwards to the sea – to the river’s end. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://furtherexploits.blogspot.com/2010/09/mountain-and-sprint-stage-details.html
Wednesday, 1 September 2010. Mountain and sprint stage details - with thanks to Clive. 1st Hill climb/mountain stage. This is just under 17 miles into the ride, beyond North Marston and leading up to Oving Village. We pull in to the right just before the hill to get everyone together. 2nd hill climb/mountain stage. The road from Long Marston goes out towards Cheddington, but we turn left towards Mentmore. There is a layby there and it is from around there that we start the sprint to the pub.

Further exploits: Spring slime - post 1
http://furtherexploits.blogspot.com/2010/02/spring-slime-post-1.html
Tuesday, 16 February 2010. Spring slime - post 1. Something amazing happened yesterday. I saw frogspawn - the slimy herald of spring. I went home for lunch, and then dug out my fish tank, procured for just such a purpose. I furtled about in the garden for some rainwater, and managed to find a tupperware-box-full. Would the (at least) two-day old spawn have survived on the pavement? But I wasn't sure whether this was evidence of spawn deterioration or just colour from some dead leaves it was resting on.

Further exploits: January 2010

Monday, 18 January 2010. Back out on the roads. Run on Sunday. For the first time in at least two weeks the sun was shining, the world was. For the first time in ages I felt a huge surge of joy to be out running. The first 8 miles were hard, as there was quite a lot of ice and we had to hop about over ice patches to avoid skidding. But I didn't mind a bit of prancing, and it was good to have a slower start. But after that - we. Thursday, 7 January 2010. Covering earth in forgetful snow'.

Monday, 26 October 2009. Blenheim 10k: 25 October 2009. Laura sprints to the finish. We're all keen to keep doing things together, and very soon after it all happened, Laura suggested that we do a 10k in the majestic surroundings of Blenheim Palace. It was great to have this to look forward to, and although I didn't do nearly enough training, it encouraged me to keep my running ticking over so that I would be fit enough to do a half-decent time. So we were off. It was a glorious Autumnal day, and the...

Mamgi: Things to do
http://mamgihandmade.blogspot.com/p/things-to-do.html
Right I keep seeing things on other blogs, websites etc that I'd really like to make but later can't remember what or where I have seen them so thought I'd start a page to keep track of the things I would like to make (and if I have a pattern a link to the one I'm going to do). Things I want to make. Granny Squares Blanket (as inspired by Sarah's on Crafts from the Cwtch. Bavarian Crochet blanket (from this. Book - the one on the cover I think). New sewing/project bag - my own pattern. Quilt for my eldest.
