So today was the 'Flora' London Marathon. 26miles to run around London, Why ? I mean, the weather was gorgous? and 36,500 people decided that run around London for fun?! I tell you, the sun got em! Madness I tell you. I simply watched the first 30 mins of these 36 odd thousand running, and I was knackered and needed to have multiple water stops, or coffee for me.

With temperatures hitting the high 23⁰C there were plenty of peeps who simply concked out before the end of the race.

The thing about the London Marathon, is that a lot of people do things for charity, Very good for them and to be honest, it's a very good platform to publicise you charity, as they will get some air time on the BBC.

What grabbed my attention on the BBC website, is that there is this blind guy who wants to do 7 marathons in 7 days. Fine I say, I ope you make it, but has anyone asked the guide dog? I mean, I know dogs like to have a good run around, but, 26mils or 182mils in a week, doesn't sound like fun for the dog.

Anyway, here he is:

Yep, there are so many reasons not to diet, as it can and in some cases get too involved with your life. As in this Dilbert cartoon.

That's all there is to say.. Fireworks over the London Eye where simply brilliant. as they say, Twas a Jolly good show, pity about a certain Kerplunkski!... Off to bed I goes....

Pity all the Gales wanted to be party poopers... never call your kids Gail... to many jokes for them tonight. So no show for the Scots.
Glasgow Hogmanay cancelled but we are all happy that Kylie gears up for gig and is back in town.

Night all.. Sleep well and take care!
