We’ve just arrived back at our beach villa having been caught on a pedalo half a kilometre from shore by a monsoon.  It was quite fun actually as we tried to outrun it but it caught up with us with 100 yards or so left.  Seemed like an opportune moment to write a blog anyway. [...]

I am currently writing from the sunlounger next to our personal plunge pool/jacuzzi.  Kathryn is currently at the Spa enjoying a deep cleansing facial treatment and should be there for the next hour or so. Yesterday we both treated ourselves to a revitalizing treatment that included a foot bath, body scrub, all over deep massage, [...]

Taking over from Palace’s play off final victory in 2004 as my best ever day, yesterday I married Kathryn Louise Hopkins.   It truly was the most fantastic day in so many ways. Eighteen months of planning and preparation came down to one single day and almost everything went according to plan.  Following one of the [...]

Just a quick entry to follow up on the Nike organised Human Race we entered.  Although it wasn’t announced when we entered Nike contacted everyone doing it’s Human Race 10K just before the event to say there was a free tshirt in it for all participants. Kathryn is particularly keen on the race Tshirt so [...]

I guess it’s because the death toll hasn’t been that high and the press reckon we’ve got enough news of our own but I never realised how big an impact Hurricane Ike had had. Check out some of the pictures here.

There are 15 days to go until Kathryn and I get married and we’re really looking forward to it even if we have a seemingly never ending number of things still to do. However, this is all of course depend on whether the new Hadron Collider in will destroy us all on Wednesday. Fingers crossed [...]

In a move that suprised me quite a bit Google have announced their own web browser.  Pitches directly in competion with IE and Firefox but apparently designed from scratch to suit today’s modern web user – or some such waffle – it works a bit differently. Google have even come out with a comic to [...]

Two quick updates to my last two posts. We did the Human Race along with many thousands of others and despite what I said about an injury I managed a new PB – 49 minutes 25 seconds is almost another 2 minutes off my previous best.  I guess the rest I’d had did me good.  [...]

It comes around twice a year but always has the ability to cause a stir. It can make people dare to dream and hope but more often than not ultimately ends in disappointment. At the tail end of every August and January internet using football supporters sit glued in front of the BBC home page [...]

Tomorrow both Kathryn and myself have entered Nike’s Human Race Event.  Nike have organised 10K events in 25 different countries around the world where you can run or equally anyone with a Nike+ can enter. We considered going to the London event at Wembley but decided that we’d do it from home instead due to [...]
