Daves Random Ramblings

Hey there everyone.  Well it was quite a mixed bag for me at the weekend.  Going into it just shy of my weight loss target and having Keegan so some nice activities were planned (or as us adults call it "cardio").  First of all we went to gravity force in Camberley.  It was the last session of the day (or should that be evening) so we get there and its absolutely deserted for jumpers.  The person behind the desk seemed to know my name, turns out I'm not famous it was just Keegan and I bouncing for the last hour.  So, just as the euphoria was kicking in that we had the entire place to ourselves, about 4 / 5 more people came in.... well bugger. That being said we had a warm up, the balance was quite a bit off as I wasn't carrying anywhere near the same about of ballast as I had been the last time I was there but that soon settled down, although I was starting to think that jeans were not proper bouncing attire.  Nevemind having a t-shirt that felt extr...

I was talking to a friend this morning about how therapeutic I find writing in my blog.  Its like a venting system of sorts for my brain.  While there could be nobody reading this or millions of people reading it, once its up there and posted then its all good and done.  But I will admit to periodically checking the stats on my blog as I have the luxury of being able to do that with the blogger dashboard.  So far, the "Who's your biggest competition" has been my most read entry at 166 views. In total I'm sitting on 1,051 page views.  But this post isn't about number crunching stats, although I did go off on that tangent.  No, its about writing about things I think, or see, or read.  Sometimes as you know there'll be no entries on a day (the famine days) but recently, in other words, yesterday, there's been a few things I'd like to write about. Lets start off on something positive, no, not snowboarding related although Keegan and I do have a three hou...

Well of course you do, unless you've been locked away in a box the last several days.  It does make me wonder why this country effectively grinds (or should that be slides) to a halt as soon as we get a dusting on the roads.   This is the first time Sasha has seen any real snow as its not really had anything like this since she was born (about 5 years ago now) so it was interesting to see how she would react to it.  But typically with Sasha, not much phases her.  She sneezes a few times when a snowflake goes up her nose on the walks and kinda did that wretching noise when she had her mouth open and I think one touched the back of her throat. The photo was from a couple of nights ago.  There's a tree stump at the halfway point on our walk so a great spot for a photo opportunity I thought. She wasn't too sure at first when she put her front paws up on the stump but was happy to pose for a picture once she eventually got comfortable enough to sit down...
