Freefall parachuting’s great
But I pulled the cord too late.

I was lucky, they all said
Because I landed on my head…

I been TV he rugby, though I was late because I had to fashion an appropriate black arm band


When I first saw a scheduler go into deputy ambassador's diary titled 'London Bridge' this afternoon I temporarily forgot how to breathe.

It was just a call to remind people of what to do *when* the time came, though, not invoking the procedures themselves, yet.

Aside from being genuinely extremely sad, it's going to play merry hell with our agendas. September is one of our busiest months usually.

Also it just sounds wrong somehow to talk about *His* majesty the *King* rather Her and Queen.

I'd quite like to have a go at jumping out of a plane some time. I also quite fancy trying out a wing suit.

I’d love to have a go in a wing suit but looks something you can’t train for and have to get right first time!

Off to Tenby later to support IM Wales - but rumblings that it may not be going ahead.

Going to be a lot of drunk, disgruntled triathletes in West Wales this weekend if that turns out to be the case :-O

Today's stage of the Tour of Britain has been cancelled, so it's possible the IM won't happen either.

Mate of mine does it. But he graduated to it from base jumping - which is clearly much safer!!! :)

Both Tenby and Weymouth have sent emails saying ‘could be cancelled- wait and see’.

Think Tenby may still happen, it’s more a grass roots event than a national televised thing but the council may pull the plug as people enjoying themselves may not seem appropriate.

Weymouth is a gonner IMO. It’s either the day of the funeral or the day before. Either way Police will be called to London etc, and they simply will not agree to cover this event as well.

I have a long weekend in Weymouth and no race….

We're hoping that Jamie's triathlon goes ahead on Sunday. It's not a big event, but it is the National Championships, so TriathlonScotland might wish to be seen to be doing.

Contact. Wait, Out. As they say.
