Your age…..by eating out……

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know!


This is pretty neat


DON'T CHEAT... BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ...Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!


This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.
(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757... If you haven't, add 1756.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)


The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS *****

Cleaning and washing……

After a great few days walking its back to cleaning and washing….

Trip back was a long one due to flight delays and buses instead of trains, got to bed gone 2am and I was up at 6am to catch the 7am train to Downham and back to work…. its been along day !!

Just put my photos up on flickr which just made me smile and smile, I am such a lucky Girl 🙂 Hope you enjoy looking at them…

Trekking in and around Les Gets……

Two fantastic walking days here in Les Gets.

Beautiful hot sunny weather has made it even more fantastic….

Took it easy yesterday as Geoff was carrying the tent in his ruc-sac for the first time , and we were both walking with 2 poles for the first time as well.

We left Les Gets and walked up to Pointe de la Turche then on to Ranfolly.

Where we saw fantastic views of Mont Blanc….

This gave us a 9 mile walk with 859m of ascent.

Walking time was 3 hours and 12 min’s and stopping time was 2 hours and 8 min’s

After getting on ok with the walking poles we decided to try a harder walk today.

So we set off in brilliant sunshine to walk around Mont Chery then up to Col-de la Basse, with a height of 1696 m.

We then descended to l’Encrenaz before walking up and over Mont Chery back to Les Gets

This gave us an 11 mile walk with 1314m of ascent.

Walking time was 3 hours 54 min’s and stopping time was 2 hours 20mins

We just about made it back to Les Gets before the thunder storm.

After two good walks I am being treated to a day shopping in Chamonix tomorrow of course knowing me I will only buy walking kit…  🙂

A training week-end ahead……

Got my train ticket , just got to pack, then tomorrow Geoff and I are off to Les Gets again for another training week-end.

Will be the last chance we get to train in the mountains before our Corsica trip.

Not sure what Geoff has in store for me this time but I will find out soon enough.

With my new Air force one socks foot cream and refreshing foot balm all from backpacking light. My feet have never felt better .

So here’s to a good three days walking in the mountains, with lots of photo’s to look forward too…….

Brave or just barking mad……

Today was the official opening of the Jesus Green outdoor pool in Cambridge.

Open may to September. its the longest outdoor pool in the Country

100 yards long, 15 yards wide, depths of 1.2m – 2.5m – 1.2m

A few brave souls turned out on this cold damp day, to christen the pool,

The water temperature was 12 deg

Who was first in ???

Geoff of course, lucky for me I had not taken my costume to Cambridge this week-end.

My new toy……

Geoff added a new countdown widget to my blog…..

Its a very clever little widget and can be found here …

Its suddenly made me realize how time is flying by….

I only have 34 days till we go to Corsica….
It seems so very close, and I can only hope I will be fit enough.

Talking to a Anne about being fit enough, she replied ” sally you would do it even with a broken leg ” 🙂

You heard it here first…..

While Geoff and I where at The Internet world show, we visited the Ad-wrap stand.

Could be a great way to get free use of a car, if you live in the right place at the right time 🙂

We then went to Loic’s talk on blogging and saw his lovely red Apple

Geoff then connected the two together and thought why not Ad-wrap laptop.

Later we mentioned the idea to Loic, who thought it would be a great idea, especially for his Les Blogs conference’s.

Geoff thought it would have been a great idea for his Our Social World conference, where Loic had been one of the speakers.

Maybe I should run a little business doing it!
