Gloria, I am glad you find my bottom hunour ammusing. I will do my best to get to camp-Ive arranged a tutor, one of my tutors form last year who is a peadatrition to supervise my ‘placement’, ive got the forms filled in and sent off, so I am just waiting for the med school to reply. They probably wont say yes straight away, but will probably suggest alterations etc, and perhaps need some contact with sue before its all properly sorted…

Funny you say that, when patients complain of strange noises coming from there abdomen, 9 times out of 10 is a dead gerbil. They always claim that they fell on it…they are not fooling anyone

Hey again guys.

Firstly - I’m not going to go and see Crows. I have more important (and, to be honest, far more fun) things to be spending my money and time on over the next few months.

Secondly - Mat - the geeky question. Have you checked your local area for air raids?

On a slightly more serious note - you can indeed just upgrade your motherboard and processor. It requires a bit of work to basically associate the hard drive with the processor (I’m not really sure how better to explain that!) but it can be done pretty easily - and in fact - if you put your PC together yourself you will be able to do that and probably know more about it than me!

The noise is probably a dead gerbil inside the case. Have you checked for that? (That’s my way of saying - I don’t really know why it’s making a noise - without hearing it I can’t really say anymore!)

I never thought I’d say it but I really miss running. I keep seeing people out for a run and really want to get out there and join in. It’d be a waste of time just now tho - I wouldn’t even get to the end of the road! Hopefully I’ll still feel the same once I’ve had the baby. I really don’t want to sit around and get fat.

On a more exciting note, my husband returns to me tonight. Hooray!

All this talk of running & training makes me feel guilty at my unfitness. Thankfully Andy will be back soon to make us all laugh with funny stories from his residential.

Sounds good to me, mine was in Oct too - I’d like to do it in under an hour too - not sure I’ll be able to do it though! A virtual training programme might work… In Exeter I go running by the river which is fab cos it’s flat! But also I should be able to work out how far it is from my map.

Good point. I knew it was our wedding anniversary but as it only takes half an hour, and we’ve kind of agreed to do something when we’re away on holiday instead I figured it didn’t matter too much. I take your point about your anniversary, though!

We did a 10k in October last year, which is a good time to do one. Maybe we could train together (but not actually together, because you’ll be in Exeter and I’ll be in the blighted North!) and aim to do one this Autumn. We could set up some kind of virtual training programme…?! I’d like to do another one and do it in less than an hour this time.

Erm, July 20th is not only your wedding anniversary but it’s also Ne and I’s 10th anniversary - no offence but I’m hoping to be doing something a little more indulgent on that day!!
Am kind of thinking I’ll do a 10k at some point - most of my friends are doing the Plym half marathon this year so I feel a bit shameful!

Andy’s on residential with school this week, in the back of beyond somewhere (I think it’s called Ipswich?) where there’s no internet access. So he’s not ignoring you, he just won’t be on the blog for the rest of this week. He said he was going to turn it pink and give me control again, but seems to have forgotten about that…!

My work colleagues have challenged me to do the Race for Life this year. They don’t seem to think it would be an issue that the Rotherham one is only 3 weeks after I’m due to have Amazon. I’m thinking maybe I’ll take them up on the challenge. Alternatively, if you fancy doing it this year, Kate, there’s one in Exeter (WestPoint) on July 20th, which would give me another couple of weeks…!
