Random Bloggy Goodness
Just before Autumn arrived in Wigan, I ran my route again, made more difficult by the 50mph crosswind and the threat of rain. Here’s the fly-through:
In other news, Garmin have accepted my Forerunner 410 is faulty and it’s been sent back for exchange. We’ll see how long it takes…
Other people taking advantage of the good weather over the weekend included, I’m told, my ex-girlfriend’s ex-husband who was getting remarried in Derby. I represented her successfully in Court as her McKenzie Friend against him but who knows after all the lies she told me how much of her case was fabricated?
Anyway, I wish the happy couple well for their future together; I understand they may be trying to move away due to what they felt was ongoing harassment by the ex.
I was also told that my ex-girlfriend’s eldest daughter was a bridesmaid. It’s good that – having been thrown out of her home before she’d even turned sixteen, so I was told, because she didn’t get on with the new boyfriend – she’s building a relationship with the parent who may actually care about her.
Funny how things turn out…
I made the most of the last of the Indian Summer we’re enjoying at the moment to go for another run near the Premier Inn at Wigan (M6, J25). The first mile is uphill which means a bit of an effort to start off with.
Because my Garmin Forerunner 410 has decided it doesn’t want to work, I’ve had to switch to using iMapMyRun on my iPhone, but the benefit is Google Earth fly-through:
Well, despite my growing concern that I’m working with the fabulous Anita De Bauch too often – she seems to have become my ‘go-to model’ – I did a Hollywood-themed shoot at Chez De Bauch at the weekend. Anita was the perfect hostess, making me decent coffee and laying on some snacky goodness during the shoot too!
Edits are being done when I can find some time, but in the meantime, I’ve uploaded a couple to the Headshots and Lingerie pages:
Another great weekend: an early-ish start for me, as I had another photoshoot planned with the fab Anita De Bauch at her home in North London. She’s a great hostess as well as model: knowing I’m watching my weight and love my coffee, she’d laid on decent coffee and some very low calorie snacks to munch on during the shoot, which was on a Hollywood/Film Noir/Boudoir theme.
Some great results already despite my not really having much if any time for edits on Saturday afternoon before I headed over to Epsom for Dinner and a film: the really rather dull “Paranormal Activity 2″.
Sunday morning and off we went over towards Swindon for our second attempt at skydiving … and our second postponement, again due to weather. Grr! Trying again in October.
Back to Epsom before heading out for an 11.5 miles bike ride over the downs and country parks accompanying GT who’s doing another half marathon in a couple of weeks and hasn’t really trained. Trained? Trust me, she doesn’t need to: she treated it with disdain like a stroll to the shops. Awesome, as they say…
