baby, I’m on fire

Posted on April 8, 2007 by JH

Excuse me while I go a bit MacEnroe for a minute. You must be kidding.

I just typed out at least 600 words of the purest gold, the best prose you have ever read and bloody Blogger packs up on me. Now it refuses to accept it ever existed, the bastard.

Anyway - I can’t be bothered typing it out again, so you’ll just get the quick and nasty version:

Running
Long run promised, v. long run delivered. It turned out to be 40.17k in right on 3 hours. Quite happy, though tired. Thought I saw Tiger Boy but didn’t. Did see PJ and said hello. Lots of amusing stuff about Gmap pedometer packing up and refusing to go on.

Trust me, it was amusing. I really excelled myself.

Fire
We had a fire at our house. No-one hurt. Not too much damage. Just a fright, lots of stress, 2 amused fire engines and lots of firies swaggering about impressing the girls and umpteen conversations with loverly people at the insurance company.

That bit wasn’t so amusing, not so much to work with really.

Easter
I wrote a great long diatribe accusing the Herald Sun of being held captive by the religious right (Brian Patterson), which may have been the reason for blogger’s impromptu extreme editing display. Censorship, whooooooo……..

Probably not appropriate, at least today. Go do a google search for Richard Dawkins, and you’ll see the sort of stuff I was on about.

    Gosh, hope the fire wasn’t too bad. I know how disruptive even a minor fire can be - and then you hear things at night for weeks to come and expect the worst. It’s all a very yucky experience.

    I’m staggered by a 40km training run. Well done!

    Bollocks to that, I often had blogger pack it in and refuse to post. WordPress saves your post every couple of minutes, problem solved.

    Yikes, a fire would be scary, I have a paranoid compulsion to keep checking I have turned off the gas. Still, a visit from the firemen would have been nice, for some. Hope everyone is OK now.

    I saw a sign outside a church the other day that said “Is there more to Easter than Chocolate Eggs?”, my answer “Yep, 4 days off work!”

    Wow - 40km training run, that reminds me I better start doing some longer runs, but not 40km - I’m impressed. Hope the results of the fire are not too bad.
