I have continued to run a few times in my wetsuit boots and felt, on the whole, pretty good about it. I have still kept it very short (400 to 800m) and worked on form. A couple of times doing two circuits of http://www.favoriterun.com/298785 and a couple of times while at my parents doing two… Read More »
BBC News – ‘Plumper lips and pout’ make women look younger. My goodness, a study of “over 250 women”? That must be incredibly significant. Especially since it can be measured so objectively. Pah.
It has been a while. We have been very busy with “life”. Things in the pipeline, Oscar, Holly’s new baby and Christmas. In the odd moments that I have had spare (or pretended were spare), I have been reading about barefoot running. I used to be able to run reasonably well, with little preparation.

Hannah and Oscar were sitting in the back of Michelle’s car, singing “I am the music man” to try to keep Oscar and Natalie entertained. Hannah was asking each child in turn which instrument they’d like next. Oscar asked for the horn. Hannah: “What sort of horn?”Oscar: I can’t remember.Hannah: “OK, we’ll do it with… Read More »
One of our concerns with Oscar’s behaviour is how he reacts to threat or attack. My last post about his reaction to his castle being broken is an example of how he can react verbally, but he can also react physically. The other day, one of his friends bit him quite hard on the shoulder.… Read More »
