Lucy- your parcel also arrived this morning. Thanks very much. Its lovely- I have opened it already!

Gary- thanks for your offer to pick us up on Friday eve. That's great. Will that interfere with the little guy's bedtime..? It would be great to see you. But if doing it is a bit of a hassle, my friend Kat has offered to drive us through. Let me know what's best for you.

Dad- Craig didn't express much enthusiasm for the football. We hadn't decided whether we would go up to Peterhead on Sat or Sun, but it sounds like it might be better to go on Sat...? I'll confirm with Craig when he gets back. He's out surfing at the moment. Craig in surf shocker!

I'm trying to ignore the fact that I might be coming down with a cold at the moment. But I can't complain, if I do get it, I think that'll be my first illness this year... (or perhaps I have selective memory..?!) But I can/will complain about my growing list of injuries! OK for those partial to a list- here it is.
So far...
1. Sore knees (stopping me running for nearly 5 weeks)
2. Bruised bum from falling in Plymouth and now....
3. Pulled muscle in neck (did this whilst doing my Pilates DVD, which I'm doing to try and strengthen more core muscles to help my knees!!!)

Whilst I can't run, I've been doing some more cycling. I managed to convince Craig to do some with me on Saturday. We pedalled from Mount Hawke to Penzance and back a total of 50miles (over 2 days). We babysat for our friends in PZ on the Sat eve. I had thought it would take us about 4 hrs each way. Craig thought more like 2.5hrs. He was closer- 2hrs 20 on the way there and 2hrs on the way back.

Useless Fact- my chum Maggie who did the Land's End to John O Groats cycle, did it in 2 weeks averaging 50miles per day.
