[JanD]

Yup!! xx

 

[summergurl]

I bet that is you whilst John goes diving!
Whereas that's me but whilst Stevie sleeps!!

 

[JanD]

It sure is - & when he's not diving he's on the sunbed next to me ... probably sleeping a lot of the time like Stevie too!! xx

 

[summergurl]

:giggle:! We love it
Off to bed now hun, hope work goes quick for you xxx

[JanD]

Just pinched this - someone's avatar - thought it might raise a smile xx

 

[JanD]

Son Jeff finished the London Marathon in 3hrs 20.

Very proud

Needless to say he's now sorry he's doing the Edinbugh one in five weeks but in a week he'll be glad again I'm sure xx

 

[summergurl]

That's brilliant Jan
Hope he has a relaxing evening now probably having a right feast?! Hehe xx

 

[JanD]

Probably and a few beers on the train home I'll bet!! Well deserved xx

 

[summergurl]

Did he stay overnight in London or travel down this morning?xx

 

[JanD]

He actually went down on Friday. You have to attend the Expo to get all your 'stuff', with 35,000 people Saturday is VERY busy and race day impossible. xx

 

[summergurl]

Wow never realised that many people raced!!!! Xx

 

[JanD]

Yeah it's one of the biggest events in the world. I think that's why it carries so much kudos. I mean there's a Liverpool marathon every year but I bet you've never heard about it .. I hadn't and I live here! Lol! xx

 

[summergurl]

Lol nope!! There is one here I think it's in saltash though, never heard of that untill a couple weeks ago! :giggle:

I did hear them say on the tv that registration for next years London marathon opens on the 28th or something xx

 

[JanD]

Oh yeah and the places will be gone in hours. That's why so many people run for charity. Charities buy up most of the places and 'sell' them to people who pledge to raise 'so much' for them. Usually a lot of money too xx

 

[summergurl]

Did Jeff run for a charity?xx

 

[JanD]

Yeah - that's the only way he could do it. He ran for the autistic society. Last year everybody ran for Clic Sergent the children's cancer charity. The downside is you have to raise about 2 grand each. Jeff's target is £1600 of which he's raised about £1180 up to now I think so not doing too bad. xx
