Spring is in the air


It is a rather nice day here in Canterbury.

NUB seemed to be the first to realise that things are looking up.  He was running around his run, leaping over things, grabbing a mouthful of cabbage, then running off again.  The others just sat and watched him with a sort of "huh, kids" expression.

OK, a student just used her iPhone to take a Fat Face photo of me.  This is how I would look if I gave up cycling and carried on eating like I do.


Guess I am sticking with the bike.


PS  Just had a thought - maybe this is how I will look when I get back from the trip next year!  I've seen Man vs Food!

    You do look quite jolly.

    Abby - They don't do the dishes and they don't keep you warm at night.

    Man,

    You've really let yourself go since I saw you in November.

    Yea, those new I-phone contraptions can really find ways to waste time.

    Ha, well if push ever comes to shove, you're a sure bet to play Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, in your (fatter) dotage!

    My youngest has that Fatface app - I've threatened to post all her naked baby pictures on her FaceBook page if she ever snaps me on that thing..

    Shrinky - Oh yes! I am sure I could do that role! But no fat face Shrinky photos? Shame.

    If you go to some Man V Food places, that beard will be spotted with barbecue sauce. Otherwise yes. That would be a post MVF Rock Chef.

    My word, you are a brave soul to post your fat face...now put a "real" face photo right next to it, please!
    I would like to suggest you stay away from Krispy Kreme donuts during your stay here! :)
    Happy Weekend to you,
    ~K

    Ms K - Ah, Krispy Kreme donuts... We had students selling those things for charity a while back. I bought a box. I tried to share, I SWEAR!

    That's right, the biking would keep you in good shape. You have to admit it is a funny picture.
