April Bloody April, Nothing Rhymes With April.

*Gratuitous use of semicolons designed deliberately to elicit annoyance from Andy; among other reasons.

As a champion of the semi-colon, their use here resulted in me exploding with joy, leaping from my chair and running round the garden stark naked, lustily singing Jerusalem.

Take that as a mark of approval.

Great post, and like all good ones, it set me thinking. You're right. I can identify with pretty much all you say, even though my excuses are paltry compared with your long-term injury, against which you manfully struggle.

I'm starting to feel the sap rising myself.

OK, this weekend is pretty much written off with football and beer-drinking commitments. But Monday, I'll get out there again.

I still have this shockingly firm intention to make it to the next Ashes series in Australia, which I believe is late 2010/early 2011. Pencil me in for either the Point to Pinnacle in November 2010 or there's always the Tasmania Marathon in early Jan 2011. The Chocolate factory finish sounds good...

See you Monday.
