Lipstick and Lycra

Well, yesterday was run day! Considering my holiday in May was deluged with downpours you’d think I could have relied on the weather gods to provide me with some nice, nippy September weather that’s so nice to run in, but it was not to be. Yesterday was HOT, and I do not deal well with

The Chap Olympiad 2012

Ah, The Chap Olympiad. That special time of year when guys and gals with a sense of humour and a penchant for booze and fancy attire descend on a small park in London to pose for photos, behave like idiots and get more than a little bit tipsy before dispersing into the night once more,

In Good Company

Today I am doing something VERY exciting. At least I hope I am. It’s so exciting that I daren’t mention it to anyone as I am convinced it will go utterly, horribly wrong. If it actually happens, then I shall tell you all about it on Friday, by which time I will have got over
