Mourne Way Marathon, 12th June 2010

Talk about trying to put you off entering:

Physical examination is not required to compete in the Mourne Way Marathon. This race is characterized by high elevation, hills, extreme distances, uneven terrain, roots, rocks and general trail conditions found in a forest and on mountains. It may be hot, cold, wet, snowy, windy and generally stormy. If I participate I could die or be seriously injured. Having considered all the options, I agree to participate at my own risk.....

Luther

One very much likes the opening title sequence for the new BBC cop drama/show "Luther". The acidic colour scheme, running water-colour like motion and simple understated artwork is a winner for me. The program itself isn't too bad either but maybe not as clever as it thinks it is, certainly hasn't got anything on Wallander, although not having to read the Swedish subs is a plus!

Few and far between

Another rather sparse period of posting by myself, two in two months, or now three in three, and its coming the end of May! The first post back always seems to be the hardest, so hopefully over the next couple days I'll get some of the things I've been thinking about written up and posted.

It never helps when you're computer dies while writing up a trip report and you haven't been sensible enough to save it, however that's enough for excuses.

Every bodies* talking about....

... the general election as if the result, whatever it may be, is going to have a major change on the country (-ies.) Lets pull a bit of perspective back into the view.
