Been watching something on ITV tonight with Mark Addy in it called Bike Squad. Sort of all the bad coppers in the station get dumped into a new initiative doomed to failure whereby they're policing the streets on bikes. Funny thing about it is that I can see meself in the Mark Addy character at least somewhere over the last 11 months i.e. overweight, can't get up hills etc. etc! Anyway they got these ace Specialized front-suspension bikes and helmet mounted cameras the jammy beggars have, I wonder if it's there for a bit of thought provocation - with congestion the way it is in cities maybe there's a place for the bobby on a bike again?

Messing With New Camera!
The folks at Slimming World bought me an awesome Canon Ixus 75 camera for my fortieth, unfortunately the weather's not been fit to get a good picture since it arrived. But when it is it'll be brilliant it's got face recognition and all sorts of ace features. Watch this space there'll be cracking stuff at some point!!
Took this picture coming down hill from St Oswalds Hospital in Ashbourne. On a nice day it'd look good!
Me and John in the Ashbourne News Telegraph this week.
We got our picture in the local stunner while we were top of Winter Golf League but last week's defeat means it's now factually incorrect. Still there's always this week to get back on track again!!!
9:35 Back home - ran from up town in my new Asics Gel Running shoes which are the business let me tell you. Big breakfast and then am taking kids out somewhere!
8:15 Was at Hospital waiting, walked up in about 25 minutes or so. Had the retinopathy screening which doesn't take too long. Bit of an eye test so they can gauge how strong your eyes are, then in go the nasty stingy drops, then you wait another fifteen, twenty minutes for your pupils to dilate fully. Then you come back in, sit you chin on a rest and they take two pictures of each eye with you looking hard right for first one and hard left for second one. The resulting pictures are then downloaded onto a laptop in under a minute. Fantastic pictures but they wouldn't let me take a copy on a memory stick the meanies. Apparently, I can get em but I've got to ask in writing. I'd love em
6:45 Did 7 miles on old Giant - hadn't got a lot of time before had to go to Hospital for retinopathy screening thing.
6:10 Got up late as was working late on some notes from work. B.p a bit better 132/86 62 pulse.
