Welcome to my world
I live in London with my two crazy cats, Phil and Grant. This is my online training journal as I will be running the British London 10km in July, and I hope you enjoy your visit!

An Easter of disappointments
Easter, when you’re a diabetic, isn’t the fun that it was once was. While there’s nothing to stop you eating some chocolate, you can’t eat yourself sick of the stuff anymore (and where’s the fun in that).
Add other things into the mix, like a friend who comes to visit (and don’t me wrong, I love it when people come to stay, but I love it even more when they leave and I get my house back), having to play nice with ex’s (as they’re friends with that friend) and crap on the telly and it all starts to get a bit pathetic. It’s work tomorrow but I feel like I’ve not had any me time yet!
But hey, here were my main Easter disappointments.
The new Doctor Who. It seemed to go for ever and ever and ever, without very much happening in it. About the only good thing to the whole show was Michelle Ryan - she continues to surprise me now that she’s out of EastEnders. But as for the story itself, it was all a bit “bleurgh”. David, your time is up, hurry up and smeg off won’t you, and give the new guy a chance.
“Smeg off” leads me nicely into Red Dwarf (I could almost be a links writer for a show). If Doctor Who was rubbish, Red Dwarf was an entire landfill full of putrid, rotting, steaming excrement. Question for Dave - or should be the Top Gear Channel? - why did you think resurrecting a show that died several years ago with your low budget would be a good idea? The plot was nothing short of fanwank (google that if you’re not sure what that is) that dragged on for three episodes too many, and it was telling that the shows that followed each new episode usually made me laugh in the first minute.
Oh well … hopefully my friend goes at lunchtime like he originally said, and that means I can at least try and get out this afternoon and do something by myself, even if it’s just going for a walk. The rest of the week’s fun, doing my team’s appraisals before I leave them, telling my team I’m leaving (can’t wait for that!), and a session at the gym with Keli (which’ll probably be the death of me). Fun, fun fun.
