NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Holiday

We leave this morning for a week away in the Isle of Wight. It was supposed to be all 5 of us but No 1 son is at Nottingham University this week for potential Medical Students learning about the different aspects of medicine. Never mind, the 4 of us will enjoy a relaxing week away from the pressures of everyday living; nothing much planned except for a visit to Osborne House, the holiday home of Queen Victoria, and we have packed a bundle of board games, cards etc for those rainy days and evenings. Have a good week; see some of you at the duathlon in 11 days time.
