http://reluctant-runner-2009.blogspot.com/p/kit-and-tips-for-marathon-des-sables.html
Kit and tips for the Marathon des Sables. As is traditional on websites such as this, here are a few hints and tips for what to expect on the MdS. For my write-up of the 2010 event, see here. I used the Mountain King. Pre-blister taping: I tried this a few times in the UK before heading out to Morocco. It’s very worthwhile. I used Mefix. To stop your feet cracking. Use Doc Trots when you’ve got bigger blisters or a few at a time. They’ll give you gauze and awesome stuff to tape up afterwa...My basic plan...

A reluctant runner: Castéra-Lectourois
http://reluctant-runner-2009.blogspot.com/2009/08/castera-lectourois.html
Locals, since the village fete was on. This involved losing at boules. To some grizzled pétanque veterans, followed by dinner in the school playground with a few hundred French types, who entertained themselves and us in truly inimitable fashion. God knows where they all came from - French Wikipedia suggests that Castéra-Lectourois. Only has a population of about 300! No more holidays planned for 2009, for anyone who's getting envious! It does seem as though I've been away a lot this year for some reason.

Thank you for commenting. Thank you for commenting. What a difference a year makes…. November 13, 2013. I’m just sorting out my Amazon wishlist for Christmas this year (always useful to help particular members of the family out! And realising what a difference a year makes. This year has not been without its challenges. Some stroke-related, many not. But my Amazon wishlist gave me cause to pause this morning. Scared of having to spend all that money because of a job I could not get post-stroke. With a ga...

Thank you for commenting. Thank you for commenting. Work: a post-stroke balancing act. May 1, 2013. Sorry, I know it’s been a while and I didn’t mean to neglect you for quite so long. I’ve been a little busy with the new job. As you know, I started a new job with a rather well known firm in January. I want to talk about it a bit, but I’m going to ask you to forgive me first for not being very specific on some of the details. There is a good reason…. I started in January. My days went like this:. My docto...

Thank you for commenting. Thank you for commenting. Monday… not good. June 24, 2013. I’m putting an 8hour time delay on this being published before I even start typing. It’s because I actually know some of you who read it and I can’t bear the thought of an email coming in about it. But I need to write out, as getting things down is often getting things out, if that makes any sense. And I need to work today, so I will have to get on with it. Why am I so tired? Now I just have to figure out how to do the a...

“Why don’t you talk normal?” | redoable
https://redoable.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/why-dont-you-talk-normal
Warning: contains available light photography. Redoable life – putting the brain back together after a stroke. Why don’t you talk normal? Asked me today, Why don’t you talk normal? I didn’t take as a personal affront because he’s only four. So I explained to him that I’d had a brain attack and so I couldn’t speak properly. He asked: Does it hurt? But then I got thinking about it and yes, Arthur, it does hurt. Not being able to communicate effectively does hurt psychologically. One response to “. You are ...

What’s another word for synonym? | redoable
https://redoable.wordpress.com/2015/03/22/whats-another-word-for-synonym
Warning: contains available light photography. Redoable life – putting the brain back together after a stroke. What’s another word for synonym? I have confessed before to being a crossword addict. It started when I was young, watching my father do them, asking the reasoning behind an answer. Later, I did it because I thought it would help me become a writer/author/reporter. I figure if you’re going into a war with words you need all the ammunition you can get, or that’s what told myself. These days there...
