    I'm sure the walk half a marathon challenge in a week started off as walk a whole marathon in a week ... where did the half come from?

    Here's a new one for you ... do a 5 minute speach at Speakers Corner in London :-)

    And remember it's Veggie Week for me and yiu next week starting on Monday :-)

    1. Don't mean to be picky but we agreed no meat which is subtly (fish) different from veggie - I have the text messages as evidence lol!

  2. I think you'll find that both are still there - someone suggested half as a stepping stone to the full one.

    I think I will ignore speakers corner - I've had my fill of public speaking - but the shopping has been ordered for Monday - slightly terrified I must say. I hope that you are honest though!
