An Old Acquaintance

On the bike today and in the pub at lunchtime.

Nottingham has landed the British Half Marathon Championship next year which will be ran as part of the Robin Hood Half. That should boost numbers. Just hope they keep the course from this year. Although I have been toying with the idea of doing the marathon.

I’m also toying with the idea of applying for a place in the Great North Run. It’s on the bucket list and I have supported L at it many times. Even she seems keen to rekindle an old acquaintance. Entries are oddly already open via The Sun.

Of course if she gets in and I don’t then I can always run as her. I might even win another prize and get interviewed on TV.

Hang on, just noticed that it’s the same weekend as another bucket list item in Bestival. Maybe 2017 then.

Life’s A Riot

Daughter is back again. At least we think she is, unless she gets offered another interview or something. She’s becoming a job junkie. No bad thing really...

She arrives and before you can say 'cocktail', Daughter and L are having a ‘quick’ 2-for-1 in the Ropewalk. ‘2-for-1’ means half the price for the same quantity, not the same price for double the quantity. Does it not?

L is already sloshed by the time she gets home, she never could cope with afternoon drinking.
'
Talking of which. In the wake of 'those' photos, the BBC poses the question ‘Is it normal to drink and end up naked?’

Of course, Men have been using this technique on women for years, it just looks like this time someone’s turned the tables on poor Harry.

In the evening, everyone is out, well we’re not actually sure where Son is, so we stay in. We can do what we like, get drunk, order a takeaway, take naked pictures of each other on our mobile phones and send them to The Sun, anything really. Life’s a riot.
