We’re on holiday next week, leaving tonight. It’s going to be a British holiday, partly in Snowdonia and partly in the North York Moors.
Of course, this means it’s going to rain constantly
But we do get to be away from cities and congestion, have a wander around some very pretty countryside and maybe even [...]
Herman survived the overnight stop in Pegwell bay unmolested! He still had all four wheels and no one had scratched the paintwork.
Hurrah!
The trip home via Canterbury was actually pleasing, what with the Blackwall Tunnel defying all odds and remaining open at the appropriate time.
Canterbury was lovely. The toilets at the cathedral were first class. I [...]
This morning we wake up in Ramsgate, a small seaside town in Kent.
Why? Well we wanted to get out of London for the day and stopping overnight somewhere allows me to drink.
So we arrived yesterday afternoon at a hotel atop the cliffs of Pegwell Bay, a somewhat charming place seemingly out of an [...]
So I managed to get into the gym on Saturday and I can confidently say Reebok club is excellent, no problem finding a locker and had a swim lane entirely to myself.
But it had just opened early on a weekend morning….
Today, I try the gym proper after work, probably one of the busiest times.
My last [...]

Today I thought I’d get up early, do a bit shopping, get a free parking token (good for two hours) then use gym in same building then back to car and home.
Waitrose opens 7.30am
Gym opens 8am
So… I arrive at 7.28 and lo! Waitrose isn’t open until 8.30. Cock.
So I’m sitting in Herman in [...]

I’ve managed to recover and re-import all the posts from the beginning of this blog in January 2007 after managing to lose everything back in May and starting again.
Any local attachments (pics mostly) are gone, so I’ll possible try to patch them up manually.

Tomorrow I’m starting a week-long trial of the Reebok Club London - a supposedly fancy gym in Canary Wharf.
I had the quick ten-minute tour yesterday and wasn’t immediately impressed, but decided to do a trial anyway as it’s local.
I think I’ll prob go back to the Virgin Active (nee Holmes Place) on Canary Riverside, but [...]
It’s 8.08pm in Beijing and the Olympics have started.
Good luck to Beijing and everyone taking part!
Over the years I’ve joined many gyms. I even attended some semi-regularly.
Lets see - I joined Holmes Place (Canary Riverside, very nice spa), LA Fitness and the gym in the building where I work.
I am now between gyms, having recently quit my employer’s facility and made enquiries of the Reebok Club in Canary Wharf. It’s [...]
