DAY 88 (Saturday 15 October 2011)

Today Charlie and me went for our own little bike ride, we only did a short route which was up and around the University Hill route, I was quite happy as it took us just over an hour to complete the loop, I have done it a few times before but I am normally out with the Everest Marathon Runners.  Whilst we were coming back in along the PFT route, there was this young female dog that decided to run after Charlie on his bike, but she gave up the chase when she turned and saw me coming, I had to stop rapidly as she ran straight in the path of my front wheel and I didn’t want to hit her, she obviously had an alternative motive for stopping me and it was because she wanted a fuss, me being me (and I broke my rule) I gave her a bit of fussing, that was my own downfall as she decided when I tried to cycle away follow me.  She did so for a short while because when I turned off the PFT route I was on a hill and fortunately for me I was going downhill so I released my grip on the brakes and just let the hill take me down, bless, she did chase me for a while but it was a long hill and I managed to get a good speed up to leave her behind. 

Eventually Charlie caught me up as I had passed him down the hill and he asked if I stopped to fuss the dog, because not only did I have her coming full pelt after me, I also had a friend that she picked up en route after me. She was such a lovely dog too, but no doubt I shall see her again as we will no doubt be doing that route again soon.

Nothing much else has happened today other than my weekly letter writing and this time I made Flapjacks.

DAY 87 (Friday 14 October 2011)

No news to report today other than the fact that I managed to get out of the office an hour early today, ok it was only an hour but to me that hour meant a lot as it very rarely happens for me to get an early knock off.

DAY 86 (Thursday 13 October 2011)

Today was a very good day indeed, well there was PT but that is much of a muchness for a Thursday, no the best thing that happened today was better than Tuesday, instead of one choccie bar turning up on my desk I had 2 more, these were a gift from a member of the DIIF (computers) team, I had a lot of dealings with him and today he showed up in my office and gave me some more chocolate as a thank you for the hard work that I had put in over the past couple of weeks in getting him and his team sorted over here.

DAY 85 (Wednesday 12 October 2011)

No news to report today.

DAY 84 (Tuesday 11 October 2011)

Well there I was thinking that the best thing that happened yesterday was waiting for my Cheerios to arrive but today actually topped it off, I had a big Galaxy chocolate bar dropped off in my office today as a thank you from an outside agency that I have been dealing with in getting their guys accommodation and internal flights sorted, I should really see if the Domestic flight / hotel booking clerk wants to share......ok maybe not, me share chocolate, no chance.....sorry Kabita, but your help is always appreciated.

PT today was swimming, I never knew you could actually get up close and personal with a water jerry can, but guess what....you can.  BK (yes there’s a surprise) took the pool session today and he thought it would be fun for us to try and sit on a water jerry can partly filled with water so that it would not just have air in and make it more difficult to attempt to sit on.....well the COS has finally found something that the RAO struggled to actually do, but I think I struggled more as trying to keep the water jerry can between your legs without you let your legs rise to the surface was flaming hard work.  It was supposed to get you used to using your core muscles, but by the time I had managed to get on the damn thing and skull around the pool, it was time to change exercises.  Oh well, at least we now know what else BK has up his sleeve for another time in the pool.

DAY 83 (Monday 10 October 2001)

Woohoo the best thing about today was that my long awaited boxes of Cheerios arrived from Amazon, the only problem was though they had been sat at the depot for over week because of the DASHAIN last week at the rats, yes rats had got to them.  One consolation was though that I had ordered 5 boxes of 4 packs of Cheerios and the rats had only managed to destroy one box, with the price that I paid (got them on special offer) I didn’t mind too much as I still had 4 boxes of 4 packs.

I think that was the most interesting, if annoying thing that happened today.

DAY 82 (Sunday 09 October 2011)

Other than catching up with some letter writing I have really no news to report today, which is quite a surprise really with it being Sunday, actually had a pretty quiet day.
