    Well done hornette, I think I did about the same distance in half the time this morning pushing a trolley round the supermarket.:(

    Still it was worthwhile as it helps to keep the bottle numbers up.;)

    Aaah wow, good luck with your training! Have you got much sponsorship money yet? I bet you would get a decent sponsorship if you posted the link up here.

    Leonardo - I am a "qualified engineer" so will be writing reports for building materials and products. Incidentally, where I work at the moment, I have just received the delivery from the printers for my first solo written guide on truck roll-over! I would love to be a features writer for a magazine or newspaper etc. That is the aim.

    Leonardo and Aberdeen put it pretty well. So it is now a question of "in Malky and GT we trust"... the Lord having jumped ship.

    Good pace Hornette - On our last Moonwalk, Mrs W_Y and I finished it in 6 hours 5 minutes - our target was 6 hours, so just missed it. Soon be time for the 20 mile one - great feeling when it's done. Don't forget to hassle The Nest for donations - it is a very good cause.

    Ah the weekend starts here. <ale> if the barman is in.

    I forgot to say that the council meeting was a farce, 2.5 hours late and a decision to "have a site visit" which delays planning approval for at least 8 weeks. The whole system is geared against the little people :(

    And so to the weekend of being a taxi driver for the little 'uns. Well medium size these days as my oldest has just started driving lessons. Any tips for parents gratefully received Hornette!

    Love the idea of short stories on the Board. Great one - the Nest Book Club (to go with the Scandinavian review earlier in the thread). Might be a bit tough on BBW to do it in public though.

    Norway - Just off. Need to fill up with liquid gold, just something for dinner and then go to the gym - little Miss W_Y is nagging me to go to the gym and take her...after that, It will be a few Ciders, White Wines and Sailor Jerrys...
