A Favourite Book

I am currently cataloguing my books and I have a lot of old poetry books. This is one of the my favourites.

It has this inscription.

It has also resided in St Georges in Bermuda.

There is no way, I guess, to tell if Elizabeth Littlenfield is the same person as E C Swanston or a later owner.

Sun, Goop and Running

Well it has been a good weekend for weather, lovely sunshine not too hot which was good for the two runs I managed on Saturday and Sunday.



I have learned two thing this weekend. The first thing is that I need to push myself a lot more when I am doing what is supposed to be a training run.



The second is that if you try to make bread in a bread making machine and you forget to put the mixing blade in, then you end up with hot bubbling goop instead of bread!

The Hair Must Go!

My hair has got quite long in the last year and I will need to cut it before I start running races next month. Instead of just getting it trimmed I will be shaving off my hair and beard on the 19th of May in aid of Multiple Sclerosis International Federation and would really welcome your support.



Please take a moment to visit my online fundraising page and make a donation. It's really easy - you can donate by credit or debit card at the following address:

All donations are secure and sent electronically to Multiple Sclerosis International Federation. If you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf, so your donation is worth even more. Please join me in supporting Multiple Sclerosis International Federation and a fabulous cause.

Thanks and best wishes,

Back and Hair

For the last month I have not been in
much of a mood for blog writing or reading. However in the last couple
of weeks I had a few days holiday from work and I manage to get some
relaxation and I am feeling more alive, so I will be catching up on my
blog reading. Today I even got out after work and went for a jog and I
am feeling good after my short run. More details at Beat the Hour

I thinking about cutting my hair short again, it is beginning to
annoy me and it will be no fun when I am running races. However I am
thinking that as my hair is about as long as it has ever been and
likely to be it would be a shame just to get it trimed or chopped
without some sort celebration. So I am toying with the idea of setting
up an online sponsorship form and getting my head shaved for some
charity. My blog pal Ti-Jae over at Tomboy has done this the last couple of years.

Nan, I will get that Meme filled out for you in the next couple of days.
