Stormy Weather

...watching a windstorm, of subtropical origin, intensify near the Canary Islands. Over the weekend, the storm may affect Portugal, NW Spain and France with fierce winds and torrential rains. Could be a nasty one! In the UK, we may feel the remnants of this weather system around Sunday. The Met Office will have the latest no doubt...

Treadmill Drama

Yesterday I was at the Gym. I was doing a particular exercise. It involved a set of pull ups followed by a fast 2min run on the treadmill (i.e. set of pull ups, 2min run, pull ups, 2min run, etc etc). Anyway, I finished the 2min run and left the treadmill rolling on its own. I jogged to the pull up frame some 20 feet away for a set of more pull ups...after the set, I turned towards the treadmill again. As I approached my 'reserved' running machine I thought "Oh No!"...a woman is heading the same direction to use my fast-moving treadmill!!! She was listening to her ipod, and her eyes were fixated on the TV. Well, she stepped onto the rolling treadmill without properly looking at it and sadly got dramatically catapulted back to where she came from, landing on all fours screaming. OOoopss! I felt terrible! Was it my fault to leave the running machine on? It was a mini drama. All ok in the end. We laughed!

Weather Blues

I'm not looking forward to this week's weather...it's all gonna go shaffernakerz! Rain, snow and wind all at the same time and in different places. One thing that won't be pleasant is cycling to work at 4-wet-am. Yes, I start that early...(well, 5am). Any sign of spring? Not as far as the weather goes, not yet...only the buds on the trees and that's about it. It's still February!

NOAA's Ark

It's been pouring, and pouring, and pouring...for hours on end. About 14 hours now, and quite heavily too by 'met' standards. It seems like it's the 'wettest day' of the winter in London. Huge puddles everywhere (outside) and the big raindrops keep hammering against all the skylights. More to come tonight. What a pisser!! LOL

Twit Twoo

I've recently got into Tweeting! I tried it last summer but I never got round to exploring it any further. Funny how addictive it can get. And yet months ago I used to laugh at it...don't knock it 'till you've tried it! Everything with a little moderation though...

As far as the weather goes this week...not a very exciting one. Often cold with low, grey skies hanging over the horizon. I can't wait until Spring!

I am Blogger

It's been good fun building my website. I've decided to branch out and put my blogs on here from now on. Much more efficient!
