S'No Balls!

We went to the beach today.


I didn't wear my bikini.  Not today. 



The temperature was -2.5°C.


Yes, that is The Runner.  Today.

Yes, he really is going To Do It!  This is Challenge One of Ten.



Ten years (nearly) since I had my life saving heart operation and it seems that The Runner is quite pleased I am still here!  He is planning on doing ten challenges in the next eight or nine months.



One down, nine to go.

Mad Bugger!

Snow


This is the main A road out of Honiton on the way to Axminster at lunchtime.  If you didn't have a 4 x 4 or tractor, you were stuck!  Earlier on you couldn't see the road at all but it was still snowing then so didn't fancy going out!

No work today; thank goodness I didn't have to slip slide down the hill!

How's the snow where you are?

What's Your Widget?

In East Devon we woke up to a very light smattering of snow this morning but the sky has been very snowy all day and the hills surrounding us are white.  I intended taking some photos but somehow I just couldn't drag myself away from the fire!

I am surrounded by sniffing wimps!  Everyone has a cold (well, man flu in The Runner's case!) except me, so I guess I'll be going out for sudafed and paracetamol tomorrow!

The Runner has a new phone (LG GM360 if that means anything to you).  Now, I may have mentioned before how technologically phobic he is.  So you can imagine all the questions we have had this afternoon whilst he was trying to work out how to use a modern touch screen phone.  'What's a status bar?'  'What are SN updates?'

Scary has helped him as much as she can bear with a teenager's short attention span.  We did both laugh out loud when he said he had an 'idle widget'!

We have put in his old sim card so that he doesn't have to change his number but this means that he cannot access some of his old pictures and files.  The one he is most concerned about, however, is a recording of Terry Wogan reading out his poem on Radio Two before he gave up the Breakfast Show.

You can tell we are a certain age, can't you?

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like the 'C' Word!

Look what it was doing in Exeter today!


Sorry, no, it's not real!



Looked quite pretty though!

After a little light Christmas shopping (rude boxer shorts for tall boyfriend and running gear for The Runner), it was off to Harry Potter.  The cinema was packed but nobody tall sat in front of us thank goodness.

I can remember struggling to keep up with the plot in the book, and I did find it a bit long (mainly because I got cramp half way through!) but it was very good and it is rather irritating that we now have to wait until next July for the second part!  I think I might need to read the book again in the meantime!

Anyway, better go to my cold bed now.  The Runner is away tonight so will have to go and make a hot water bottle!

Let It Snow!

Hope you're all enjoying the snow!

See you soon when I get rid of all these children!
