52 year-olds (when you filled in the entry form you had to show your date of birth, but it only went back to 1955!)-

That's one way to knock years off your age!

And well done for doing your bit in the marathon - I'm sure it was more challenging than the New York Marathon yesterday. more…

phenomenonological - I still don't know what it means!
Despite looking it up on Wikipedia & Google.

What a wonderful account of your journeys - it puts my grumbling about traffic chaos in Kendal into perspective. (Though I still think over an hour to 10 miles last night is worth grumbling about)

Keep up the posts! more…

Hello Pat
We're both jealous and full of admiration for what you're doing. Retirement and anything exciting afterwards is along way away. Old farmers never retire and I'll be the oldest IT support Grandma in the world.

Glad all the educational clap trap over here is not getting in your way in doing a good job over there.

I was trying to work out the similarities and differences of the jobs here and over there!! I tried and then I gave up!!

Keep up the good work.
