I took my John Lewis tiles back and everything was fine.

Gym staff are used to dealing with unfit or semi fit people. They're not sure about very fir people.

Could've saved you a purchase there, Doc, we seem to have about 8 staplers around the house, and very seldom use any of them.

I'm afraid my running OCD wouldn't allow me to do 99 maras without throwing in another one. Then of course I'll have to decide how many I want to do before I'm 70.

Morning Fetchies

Found some pavements and ran 5. 25 miles last night - as I approached mile 3 some one in universal studios let off some fire works in celebration.

Very humid and I sweated a lot - hopefully this will put me in good stead for the Wirral half :-)

A wise young woman, Doc. And yes, I do run past my own house if the watch is just short of a full number of miles!

You just keep on going, Toks, I love the way you are racking up the miles!

Will the Wirral Half provide fireworks, Jono?

I've thought it through you know. The 99 club will have a strap line of 'Do you want a flake with that?' and a logo of a 99 ice-cream. I maybe the first entrant in years to come.

Good pavement hunting jono. Amazed you found 5 miles.

I've around Rutland, visited the tip (recycling centre) twice and swept out shed pending flooring sealing operation.

I'm pleased JL sorted out Huntsman's tiles.

I've heard one tale of poor JL customer service but the person involved is a bit of an arse.

I've sorted out my shed,which has included hanging 4 pairs of wellies from one shed wall using Spring clamps screwed in.Pack of 10 for £6 ,I'm rather proud of myself :)
I have 6 clamps spare, 2 XL ones, and 4 small ones. I'm now looking for things to clamp together.
