Well, snow, eh?! What about that, then. Well, I'll tell you what - it's brought my training to a halt, that's what. I did consider going out for a run - for all of about ten seconds. Then my "sensible" gland kicked in and told me "Don't be stupid, that would be foolish, you'll fall over and break/twist/rupture something". Thankfully, for once, I listened to my sensible gland. Frankly, it seems to be becoming somewhat over-developed nowadays.
So, whilst watching the snow fall and the pavements ice up, I have been consoling myself with the thought that it doesn't really matter how long it takes me to get around London, as long as I get round. And slipping over on black ice would seriously jeapordise that.
Fundraising - we're now up over the £400 mark, thanks to my incredibly daft but lovely husband. Thank you all!
In other news, I have my running jacket now. I still hadn't heard anything six days after placing the order (estimated shipping time - 2-3 days), and neither had any money left my bank account, so I dropped them a little email enquiring as to my jacket's whereabouts.
Roughly 30 minutes later, I received the following response:
Hmm, anyone else thinking that's an "Oooops, we forgot that one"-kind-of-email?!
Anyway, it duely arrived the next morning. Opened it and proudly brandished it to show Mr Steve.
"Hmmm...," quoth he. "That's......bright".
Somewhere, I think he's missed the point a bit...
(Attractive photo of me wearing the new bright jacket with my suit. Do you think it's a fashion that'll catch on?!)
That practically puts my HiVis I wear on duty to shame!!
