Hmmm, seems you can't add any pictures when you edit a post, so, by way of an experiment, here are some pictures from our little stroll and lets see where they end up, Picasa somewhere I assume...

Just been out for a little walk with the little one on my back. Am so glad we got a decent baby carrier/rucksack thing. Just under three easy miles, she can stroll when she likes, look when she likes, sleep when she likes and the terrain can't stop us. And I get a tiny bit fitter, lovely :-)

Too late, too tired, done too little, time to go to bed and dream a route to cycle tomorrow, or at least where to start exploring... after I have actually done something useful in this house! #mustmakemostofholidays #mustrememberthisisnttwitter #shameasIquitelikehashtags :-)
Night.

What "fabulous" news, Formula 1 only half on the BBC from next year and Sky say "We will give F1 the full Sky Sports treatment with a commitment to each race never seen before on UK television." Bet they still fill it with bloody adverts though... Not that happy...

At times on last nights blast I was telling myself "no pain, no gain." Today I think I may still be gaining a little.

At times on last nights blast I was telling myself "no pain, no gain." Today I think I may still be gaining a little. Aches not helped by our little one having a bad night and finishing the night in with us. She does an excellent starfish impression :-)

I did ride bikes today, twice :-)

I did ride bikes today, twice :-)
A 10 mile singlespeed gurn in the morning and a 26 mile Fully geared and suspended blast this evening, both included some chunks of road and the blast included the entire length of the Monsal trail on the way out, and some on the way back but it was still great to get some miles in

I am going to ride a bike today, twice!

I am going to ride a bike today, twice! One singlespeed gurn over to school to collect the car ('cos it is easier to fit in the car and allows for some exploration on the MTB) and then a "proper" MTB ride tonight, with gears and everything. Am quite looking forward to it/them...

35 minutes on the phone to PayPal, two people and one supervisor to be told, you may as well just leave the dispute as none of the options are suitable and we will sort it in 10 days anyway.
Great, creating an account with them to ease the collection of funds for our school seemed such a good idea at the time...

I'm so pleased to hear about this concept taking the next step. There's been talk of it since the mid noughties, finally coming to Arizona. Worth a watch

Back from Tatton, chilli eaten, now just hoping for an early bed for the baby so we can relax and catch up on the Grand Prix... With a cup of tea... And ponder when I might get a ride in... Soon!

Hot and sunny at the Tatton show, cloudy, sunny, cloudy... You get the picture :-)

That's the chilli in for tonight, shower, pack and off to Tatton Park for the show...

Going to tempt fate by saying our little girl is back asleep and there is still time for good sleep before going to Tatton in the morning. Wish she would stop making those noises though...

Right, a day that included Magna, Meadowhall, Toys R Us, my lovely wife and baby girl is clearly a good day :-) Lion seems to have installed nicely on the Mac and the fact that I no longer have any word processing ability thanks to running an older version of Office is only a little annoying...
Night all. :-)

If I am gone for a long time it is because a Lion ate my Mac...

Yay!

Yay! I am now on my summer holidays, as long as I am sensible, and a bit organised I might even cycle enough to not die at Kielder on September the 3rd...

Another busy, and long, day but hopefully the car will be fixed quickly, the kids will go home happy from school and I can start to enjoy my family again. Here is hoping :-)

Long night with a restless baby but to a honest it was all made fine by the 30 minutes spent with her snuggling down in my arms as she nodded off :-) Lovely!

Go on then, it's a Twitter v Google+ race, how did the stew on the stovetop turn out then? :-)

Morning all, nice and drizzly outside :-)

Shopping done, bit of tidying, not enough really, had some food, time for some Ikea action for storage? Could be... Must remember the bins though, really must remember the bins...
Not every day seems that amazing but shopping with our baby girl was great fun, finding out a litre of Bombay Saphire would cost 37 quid and the nice Jack Daniels would cost 47 quid was a bit of a shocker!

OK, so who is going to devise a plan for me so I can happily cruise around the Kielder 100 course, considering the fact that
a. I have the summer holidays to get ready (am a teacher, one week to go)
b. have a wife baby girl who I would like to spend time with
c. have hardly ridden my bikes for about 6 weeks thanks to injury, but am fine now.

Fire away, happy to answer any questions if it helps sort my programme :-)

Here are the first, poor, badly framed, taken on a mobile at the end of a long day (you get the excuses) pictures of our unfinished garden at Tatton for the Royal Horticultural Show. :-)

This post is brought to you from a school playing field near Chesterfield. Watching other people run an athletic event for someone else's class, wishing I was paddling in a river with my daughter and wife. Steady afternoon in the sun all the same, shame I burned a bit yesterday doing our Garden at the RHS show, Tatton. It is a diverse life being a teacher sometimes...

Right, been up for 25 mins and at risk of being late. Tatton here we come... again :-)

Bother, cannot find my adaptor to connect my MacBook to a projector.

Was going to ride in to work tomorrow but then remembered, we have another after school event. This time a film premier, that we might be selling to the LA, about healthy lifestyles.
Teaching, not what it used to be! :-)

Right, this is Google+ then, questions...
a. how much time will I spend here
b. how long before I actually get a collection of people on here
c. what shall I do now :-)
oh, and d. if I don't choose a circle, does this appear to everyone?
