Back together

I think the Internet and I are back together!







I have spent the last few days at a conference - I on the whole liked it - but there were a few people who really annoyed me - and I was all like.."SERIOUSLY...SHEESH! WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE..." AS a summary I learnt

  • that I do not under any circumstances like playing icebreaker games - big SNORE. ( although I did meet someone during one of the games - who had a strange set of four things in common with me. For example - I had a godson called Xavier, he had a son called Xavier - now you don't come across that kind of thing everyday)


  • that manners do not get you anywhere - especially if you want to leave early


  • that people can very easily - in the words of my Mum "SLIP OFF" my radar and into the land of no return.




Because it is Saturday my running update is thus

  • ran for 1 Hour and 2 Minutes ( I had to finish the song I was listening to), which equated to 7.3kms and 960 calories...I didn't think I was going to make it to the 45 minute point but then I did and somehow found a second wind and could push on. I know it is not really fast but I did try and run at different paces today - even up to 9 at some points.



Continuing the theme of things around my house - today's photos are of some pictures/frames that I have around the house that I love. The first set I bought in New York - I didn't realise that 3 of them were landscape and 1 portrait orientation - I just bought them because I liked them. I also didn't realise that when I was hanging them - but I kind of now like that one is out of order. AS my sister would say it is a "Point of Difference" and this is always to be encouraged. The second frame are photos I took when I lived in the Ville. The frame was a gift from friends for babysitting their delightful children one time - and we were discussing this just last night. Again we don't love the wall colour in our house - but alas New York calls so repainting comes in second.


A super long post from me today...SNORE! I have a theme ready for next week, but do you have any suggestions about themes that I could use. It has t be something I can take a photo of

1000 calories in one day is incredible ! (especially given the fact that I probably PUT ON 1000 calories!!!)

Meant to say that I love the one frame inconsistent with the others. Very effective.

Ah...the voice from the dead has a triumphant return...it's good to see you still have that intolerance to fools attitude which I've always admired !

What would you know Zach, give the lady some credit, she will never pick you as her "guide" in the big city you're too full of yourself !

Now, what have we here - me thinks a little explanation from "J" is a possible blog worthy article... and the winner is ?
