There is a very funny commentary in the Guardian today where the author is imagining what the first 100 days of a John McCain Presidency would have been like. I’ve reproduced it here so you don’t have to go elsewhere, unless you want to. Day 1: Having spent the nearly three months between election day [...]

It’s been a while
I haven’t heard about (or sought out information on) Peta in a while nor veggie-fascists. I unfortunately came across this commentary on Guardian today from my ‘favourite’ atheist-bus-campaigner. Setting aside her whole ‘there’s probably no God’ malarkey it was a good article. I was intrigued by this sentence: “Despite the best efforts of Finding Nemo, [...]
I like running
I like running so much I’ve entered the ballot to run the 2010 London Marathon. That’s right, all 26.2 miles of it. I will find out in October whether or not I have a place. Even if I don’t make it in with the ballot I can still run for a charity as they have [...]

Watch this space
Hubby and I went to Tenby in west Wales over the Easter bank holiday weekend. It was four days of sun, sea and fudge. I’m still going through the nearly 150 pictures I took so check back later this week for the whole story.
The Incredible Shrinking Leah
Friends and family will know that I’m on a weight loss regime and have been for the better part of a year now. As of today, since last January, I have lost 34 pounds. I don’t know how many inches because I didn’t bother to measure. The first time I noticed a major difference in my waistline [...]
