5k for 10k

Just a quick note to let you know of a charity run (or walk!) taking place on the 25th September on Wimbledon common. It's a great opportunity to tackle a short run for a good cause and the location is fabulous too, so it' definitely worth a look...you could even win something.

I, will be taking part, despite celebrating my 40th the night before, so there really is no excuse (you may spot me walking very slowly at the back with shades and a green-ish complexion...).

For those less energetic, they do need volunteer marshals, so you can do something to help without even breaking into a sweat!

Jane Eyre 2011

Ok, so you got me, it's a weak spot a crack in my science fiction and fantasy armour, but I do love a good period drama and Jane Eyre has got to be one of the best around. It has everything, drama, undertones of the thriller/horror and of course it's a timeless love story...

Free films for Orange folk...

Yes that's right, non -orange customers will be green with envy for this one. This is an app that will let you download a free film every Thursday, pretty good we think. There is a slight cost involved which is associated with the request for the week's film code (35p) but we think that is a pretty acceptable cost all things considered.

It works for all Orange customers, although there are different procedures to follow depending on the device you use (ipad, iphone, Orange tablet etc.)You can find full instructions here: Orange film to go.

Glamping...?

Ok, so I have a question, when does 'camping' become 'glamping?' I thought that most camp sites these days come equipped with showers and toilets, but apparently, this sort of camp site is for 'glampers!' I just want to be sure I know what category I fall into...

As you may have gathered by now, I went... away in a tent... for the first time in many a year and I loved it! I have a fabulous new tent, which is roomy enough to sit inside if it rains (highly likely) and even has room for friends to lodge, impressed? I was!

Worth every penny!!

So there you are, at work, it's hot, it's summer.You may love your job, but hot days go so slowly... Why not inject your day with a little creativity? Master the art of origami, using only this simple tool: The origami sticky note pad – pure genius!

Simply – Harry Potter

Ok, so I am a self confessed Potter Fan. At the very start of this epic journey I even went onto the website and made sure that the sorting hat put me into Gryffindor...

I have watched all of the films (several times) so it was a big thing when the final film(s) came out. I went to see it in 3D, because, well, lets face it, I will buy the DVD and see it in 2D anytime I like, so there! I also chose a late night showing, so that the audience were of a more mature variety. God forbid that an over enthusiastic child should interfere with my viewing pleasure...

Simply amazing

I Just had to share this, turn the volume up loud and close your eyes, I think you will find it just as awesome as I did. It really is creativity at its very best. Enjoy.
