Update

Oops, been ages since my last post!

Ok, quick update of what's been happening...

- I got a new motorbike - Honda RVF400 to replace my 1989 Honda VFR400 which has seen better days but has served well for 6 years or so and covered 100,000 miles!

- Stopped triathlon - I called an early end to the season after Alcatraz and the European Champs - had been training and racing lots and in need of a break. So...

- Not sure if I'm going to race triathlon next year yet, will enjoy the break till making a decision. Am very tempted not to be training 6 days a week and not seeing anyone!

- Been playing golf the past four weekends, enjoying the change! Starting to string a few decent shots together too. Will hopefully get a round in at Gowerton with Dad and Sam soon.

- Been rock climbing with Matt too, went to the gap last weekend, ace, can still climb but little stamina!

- Have installed a new Ethernet router at home and an Apple Airport Express - this enables me to play music wirelessly through different rooms of the house on iTunes. Ace!

- Still been doing some swimming - was going on Thurs with Bath Amphibians, this has now been replaced with Hockey - pre season training has started and is a really nice change

- Have been running a few times a week with Rik and Harriet. Might well do the Bristol Half Marathon this weekend (just to keep others company, not going for a time or running fast!)

- Have been using iChat to video chat with Nick and Diana in the USA, well cool.

- Mark Norton is back at the end of the month after a year in Chicago. Reena is back already and has got a job in a Hospital in Oxford, well done! Will be good to catch up.

- Contract is due to end at the end of this month, great to have a disposable income again. Might be a small chance of a short extension, not holding out for one though. Might do some more work with Cyclopaedia, or may get a new contract somewhere in the UK. Will apply for some more contracts tonight and in the coming days.

Wow, I guess that's enough of an update for now... hopefully the next post will be soon.
