We have spent all week making a Queen Boudicca costume for an 8 year old. We could buy one for a tenner but its just not the same is it? Asking an eight year old if they prefer mummies shield (rubbish) or my homemade perfect spear is cruel i suspect, but i won. The reason? “Because i just cant believe you are able to make something so brilliant” Is that a complement or an insult?? It is a very special Blue Peter monstrosity though!
The running is going slow, in that it hurts and i haven’t done enough. The saving grace is that i have done a lot of walking over the last few days so i suppose every little helps! It is a year long project/challenge remember!! With my fitness as it is at the moment anything more than 30 minutes of exercise leaves me unable to walk for a week. I class myself as healthy, you have never seen nails and hair grow quicker than mine…ha ha. But i would like to feel fit, to feel fitness and to not breath heavy from half hour exercise!!
Has anyone seen the political advert for the green party? If four minutes of TV can sum up the mood of this country then that’s it!! I see the government are trying to take back (Sir) Fred Goodwin’s knighthood and rightly so, the man got rewarded for failure. We are failed by the MPs who rip us off and by bankers who just see pound notes. The result is that we ourselves, our children and maybe even their children will pay for it, while they get away rich! If you employ a 17 year old spotty kid to sell gas door to door for ten pounds per conversion, you see how many he gets. Not all legit as we have seen on Watchdog more than once. Tell me the difference between Goodwin and the spotty kid??
