Oooh get me, into double figures blogwise :o)

Baby update, both mother and baby allowed home today and doing well :o)

Did anyone watch the London Marathon last Sunday? It amazes me the amount of people taking part every year, each one with their own personal reason for taking part. For the elite runners its about setting new records, personal bests to beat and qualifying for other competitions like the Olympics. For other runners its about proving to themselves they can do it, others to represent their running clubs. They should be proud of themselves for achieving this, but to me its the ordinary runners taking part that I admire the most. People who decide to run this gruelling 26 miles to raise money for their chosen charity. Some never ran more than a few miles before, other have never attempted running a few yards let alone a marathon. For whatever reason these people put themselves through the pain and exhaustion, finishing the race for themselves and raising money. I take my hat off to them. The only ones that I can't get my head around are the one who dress up in fancy dress. Why? Surely its hard enough without the extra heat these costumes create? There was one man who had a frame shaped like a pylon and he said it weighed the same as a bag of cement. I mean you wouldn't walk 26miles carrying a bag of cement would you?

On a sad note, somebody died taking part in this year's marathon, such a shame, she was so close to completing it too. Heartfelt sympathy to her family. :o(

Woke up this morning to torrential rain pounding on the window....forgotten what it sounded like lol. I love listening to the rain and, oddly....which describes me lol....I like....correction, I used to like....walking in the rain. Call me odd....I can see you trying not to smile at that :o)....but I used to like sitting by the sea in the rain or by a lake. The water looks sooo different in the rain, especially a lake, you can almost say that the rain dances on the the surface.....get me, poetic or what lol. I don't do much walking these days but maybe one day I will take another long walk in the rain.

My granddaughter has decided that she wants a guinea pig. Fair play, she has done her homework before hand, checking on prices of cages, water bottles, bedding, food and treats, and general care. She is saving up her money to pay for everything herself bless.... :o) watch this space for updates :o)

My phone is still being a pain, I've tried everything my nice tech help has suggested, and a few of my own....but....absolutely nothing...nada....zilch....dim byd!!! :o( Oh, well I'll just have to make do with it, until my numbers come up on the lottery....mind you it would help if I bought some tickets, eh? ;o) Still talking of technical things....my lapi is running a bit faster now. I spent some time giving it tlc this evening, disk clean up, defrag, antivirus scan, deleting browsing history....wow I sound like I know what I'm talking about ha ha, .let's just say I've had a patient(ish), good teacher over some time....diolch blod :o)

Is anyone playing this new app called DrawSomething? It's fun to play, it's like the programme Win, Lose or Draw. Don't know if anybody remembers it, basically there were two teams, and each team took it in turns to guess what one member drew on the flip chart....oops I'm digressing again....anyway that's what it's like. The only drawback is that sometimes it takes ages to load....well mine does....and you don't know if anyone is playing the game until it says play next to their name. So even though it has the basis for a good game it lets itself down because of the timing and the loading problem. I expect I'll still use it, but not as often as I did when I first downloaded it.

Well peeps that's your lot for this one :o)

Please continue to read the blogs and share them with your friends on facebook and twitter....and please leave a comment or two on the blog. :o)

Bye Bye for now....

Keep safe and happy xxxx
