A man walks into a bar and asks for a packet of helicopter flavour crisps. Barman shrugs and says - "sorry we've only got plane".

Song of the week: United States, by The Smashing Pumpkins, from Zeitgeist. A live version is on my playlist (bottom of page).

Monday night training saw Adam, Alan, Amanda, Annette, Carolyne, Charmaine, Emma, Ewen, Gary, Geoff B, Helen, Katie, Ken, Margaret, Ruth, and Sonia enjoy 12 x 260m in teams of two. A very solid session but fun as we started teams at two different points and zigzagged past each other on each lap. Team Ken&Emma just pipped team Helen&Katie, with team Sonia&Amanda not far away. Fierce was the competition. And with me plus 4 walkers out there, we had the best turn-out for a while, 21.

Ruth and Gary were back from their respective overseas trips. I would like to say "none the worse for wear" but that might be stretching the truth.



In German a pun which doesn't quite translate into English. So let's say it means "Go Go Speedy Geese". Gary sent this card to our training group when he was overseas. We will talk again soon about how lessons from geese can inspire us.
