Just for general wonderings…
Today’s picture is my Psychology classroom. In today’s lesson we have been looking at Stress – what it is and how the body copes. This fits in very nicely with the stress I have had over the past couple of days. I would never have believed that getting my haircut would cause me such stress.
Although after today’s visit to a very nice lady in a very nice hairdressers I am finally happy – it’s back to short again! Happy days!
Following on from yesterday’s post – proof that the hat is my best friend.
Too late to get haircut tonight, but a visit tomorrow to hairdressers after work is on the cards.
This is my hat – it is, at the moment, my most prized possession. I’ve had my haircut and I’m not very happy!
Today’s picture is Billy, our 5 year old mutt. If you look closely at his eyes you’ll be able to see that he looks spaced out. He sometimes goes a bit weird and seems to ‘see’ things that aren’t actually there.
We put today’s episode down to the fact that he went swimming in the dyke – we think the disgusting black sludge that lies at the bottom has impregnated his skin and affected his mind.
Today saw the fourth race of the Frostbite League take place, hosted by Ramsey Runners. A very windy morning welcomed all runners to the 5ish mile course. A thirteen strong Bourne Town Harriers senior team made the long and arduous journey into Fenland along with nearly 400 runners from various local running clubs.
With the wind mainly in their backs for the first half of the race a good early pace was needed. Tony did just this and disappeared into the distance finishing in 45th place in a time of 33.46, and being first Bourne runner home bagged the 1pt towards the BTH Club Series. Second Bourne runner home was not as cut-and-dry. Richard got off to a fast pace only for Phil and Shaun to hunt him down at around the half-way mark. As they headed into the wind for the second half of the race it was clear it was going to be a close run thing with neither runner wanting to relinquish the coverted second Bourne runner home.
It all came down to the last half-mile, Phil was ahead, although clearly struggling, when Shaun found the extra strength needed to power home. It was a good run from Shaun in his first race since September, even if it was a bit sneaky!! Phil held off the challenge of Richard to finish in 110th place (3rd BTH runner).
Further mentions must go to Brian (fashioning his usual bright orange hat) being the 5th BTH runner home, followed by Roland, Dave and Natalie (first of the BTH ladies). Final times and placings can be found here and on the BTH website here.
Well done to everyone, not forgetting Rich for the fantastic collecting and recording of numbers.
Having watched Ed Milliband on TV this morning I have decided I don’t really like him. And on top of all that he looks like he has dumped ‘New Labour’ in favour of ‘New Laboour’. Maybe looking for the youth vote?
