Well, it took me some time to get around to this, but I now have a fully functioning Blog, rather than the half-hearted effort that previously adorned these pages... no difference should be seen from your side, but the mechanics behind have changed.

So what does this mean?

Well, hopefully more blog entries on a more timely basis... but then there are always many, many things to do, so possibly not.

So along with the new blog, is the new bike - a nice little number (Giant Hybrid) that has finally made me feel "at one" on 2 wheels. I never learnt to ride until I was embarressing old (okay, perhaps I'd term it young these days - 17), so I have alot to learn. Haven't had too many near accidents yet, and, am actually cycling the 10 mile round journey to work... once a week. I'm loving it though, and it's so nice to use your own steam to get around. The best thing being is my back feels so great - not that it was perceptibly un-great - but the cycling seems to elongate and relax my spine. Altogether I am enjoying this (almost as much as when I discovered running in 2000). Let's hope it lasts longer than the running (hmm, last race was May 2008 for a 5k).

Anyway, I am about to go and watch the Hungarian Grand Prix - I "taped" (or digiboxed) it this afternoon so I can indulge myself this evening...

And one special message to my niece - Hi Holly, I've finally updated my blog!
