The joys of working from home… going outside when I feel like it. Sunny day, mild temperatures… We all had a dip in the River Slaney yesterday, cold & refreshing. T bought a wetsuit and swam for about 1 1/2 km downstream then a bit back upstream, over weirs, to where we were swimming. Of course, we are all aware that the river is polluted – shame – but none of us seem to get sick (this is our third year splashing in too much nitrogen, and no doubt sewage, despite the developed economy we live in. Picking up your own crap doesn’t come easily to many of us).
I guess this means I have time to go for a jog to start preparing for the Flora Women’s Mini-Marathon, Dublin, June 2nd 2008. 3 weeks! I’m trying to duplicate my time of less than 60 minutes for the 10k. If anyone sees this post and is interested in donating in support of PestalozziWorld, a charity that educates poor but bright children in Asia and Africa, visit www.PestalozziWorld.com to donate on-line, or directly to the bank account. A donation of any size would be appreciated!
I had a wee sample of cake. 8-year-old made it (chocolate & orange), the icing is decadent (butter, icing sugar and orange & lemon juice & rind. Yummy!) for little brother’s birthday, who is 5 today. Happy birthday!
