Marathon Glory!

Rachel and Alice did Shirley proud, finishing in 5hr 10 and 5hr 25 respectively. It was the hottest London M on record so this was an amazing achievement. (photo to follow). It was a great day and thanks to superb planning :) we were able to see them 4 times [6, 15, 18, 25]. Thanks to Ernest, Pam, Chris, Tony, Julia, Sue, Lewis, Lottie and Grace for being there and screaming so loud! I am now in inner turmoil as to whether i enter the Dublin one on Oct 29 2007...gulp. I am inspired by what i saw and the saying "The Marathon is the average persons Everest".
Anyway Meg is going great guns, eating everything she can, sleeping with no crying!, but still the odd accident...nothing we can't beat out of her!!
On the Music front I am now dangerously obsessed with Arcade Fire. Their 2 albums are incredible and so are their live videos on Youtube. I have bought their t-shirt and downloaded some lyrics....heeellllppppp. Leeds can't come soon enough - they are widely regarded as just about the best thing live these days.

Dogs and Leeds (sic)

So here she is, Meg (thats the one with the silly look on their face.....oh all right, the one with the long furry ears). All the puppies, now 6 weeks were stunning and i'm now trying to persuade Marathon girl that we should get 2, cos 2 of the lads dont have homes (awwww) and Meg needs a friend.

As for Leeds, given my current music tastes how could i resist a line-up of Arcade Fire and Bloc Party, headlined by the Peppers. My boy Davo is there for the whole 4 days and i shall see him Sunday for my fav bands. Have just persuaded Antony "i hate bloggers" Moore to join me. Now its off to Ebay to find a 1-2 man tent for the big day!
