11 Weeks Non running!

Friday, October 26th, 2007

New Toy!

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

The time had come for ROO and I to part company (sniff), but with David working away and needing his car for the long journey every Monday to Manchester, two seats in ROO was not really appropriate any more.
I have had three fantastic fun years driving ROO and caring for him, but realistically he was [...]

Physio

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Well as you know I still have not been able to run. I managed to get in to see a Physio for treatment to my groin injury.

Running set back

Monday, August 27th, 2007

I am not a very happy runner at the moment. Three weeks ago, I sustained a groin injury which was aggravated tripping over a tree root in some woods I was running through with some club members. By the end of that run I could barely walk let alone run.

Bubbles and Barney

Monday, June 25th, 2007

So far so good. The bunnies have been sharing the same hutch for a couple of weeks now and seem to be getting on well. They had their moments in the beginning but now cuddle up to each other and clean each other, so that’s a good sign.
Barney is still adorable and loves [...]
