While walking along one of the arty streets in The Hague (Den Haag) my attention was grabbed by a rather interesting window display.
Lots of water bottles were placed randomly throughout the window space, each with a different label.
Oh which one to drink?
Anyone fancy a swig of ‘sex’? How about some ‘chi’ to calm your inner self?
Which one would you like to try?
UNBELIEVABLE!
Just when you thought it was safe to check out the washing instructions…
We were on holiday earlier this year in Cyprus and decided to do a spot of holiday washing. When we checked the washing machine manual it showed this…
Read the first line of notes.
Always read the instructions
Just what are they expecting? In fact, no, I don’t wanna know…
GRIM!
I used to hate long distance running. I would watch runners go past and envy the fact that they could do it – and wondered why they liked it.
Strangely enough that all changed earlier this year. I had heard about an App for my phone which could help you get from ‘couch potato’ to a runner (possibly good enough for the Olympics… okay, I can dream).
I have stuck to the challenges and kept running a few times a week (once every two days when I’m being really good).
A friend of mine in London posted information about the first Big Gay 10K in London on Facebook and I was hooked…
A real challenge for me. Will you support me? Here’s my page.
What have I got myself into? The next thing I knew I was signing up for my very first ‘proper’ run. I am currently running distances of 3-4K. The 10K might just finish me off…
Here I am – Looking my most sporty….
I have set up a Just Giving page so that you can track my progress and see if I am still alive. Of course, I’ll be blogging more about it here too.
In short – this is what it’s all about.
I would love it if you took the time to check out my Just Giving page – You may even like to make a small donation for the wonderful charity. (That’s the easy bit – I’ll be the one running around London in September).
I saw this website on Facebook earlier today. Mo Farah, the British athlete has created a storm of fans after winning two gold medals in the London 2012 Olympic Games. His expression at the end of his final race captured the imagination of some viewrs and inspired someone to create a website all about Mo.
It’s brilliant! you have to check it out.
Check out the brilliant website here ‘Mo Farah Running Away From Things’.
I wonder which other backgrounds he could be captured with… Suggestions?
Discovered in Antwerp in Belgium.
I was just minding my own business and taking a little visit to the toilet when I walked in and saw this.
Okay – it made me laugh – out loud. It was quite tricky to concentrate while standing there.
Which one to stand at?
On our recent holiday in France we decided to try something new as part of our ‘outdoors’ experience. Living in The Netherlands, we love cycling. It’s a national hobby for the Dutch and possibly the most-used form of transport.
But…
We didn’t want to hire ordinary bikes while we were staying near Lake Annecy in the south east of France – so we chose a tandem.
Big mistake.
Looking confident? We were anything but…
Riding a tandem is so difficult! My co-ordination and balance is pretty good, but this was so tricky. The fact that there were cars and other cyclists nearby didn’t help either. Cycling along we looked like something reminiscent of a Laurel and Hardy film.
After hiring the tandem for about 4 hours we decided that we wanted to live a little longer. Time to take the tandem back and reluctantly take two normal bikes.
I wish I could do this…
If any of you have tried cycling on a tandem then I would LOVE to hear about how you got on.
