• How much email?

    i-314d0292a08131f8dd18ce88e273d483-lotsofemail.PNG Look at that, 12,345 emails in my gmail in-box. Had to screen shot it, 1-2-3-4-5 has a nice ring to it. 12,345 represents 60% of the near 3GB allowed in a googlemail box and the 5,909 spam messages are only those from the last 30 days. I guess i’ll have to start deleting the some old email soon.


  • Running – not always good for your health

    One of the good things about starting the business studies/French course at the local university is that it’s only 5 miles from home. It’s easy to get someone to drop me off there so that I can run home at the end each lesson.

    I’ve been relatively good at running home since the course started (that is I’ve made the effort and run) and I’ve already noticed my times improving along with my French. However, for the rest of the course I’ll be being driven. Running home on Wednesday night ‘je suis tombe’, that’s french for “I fell”. I thought I’d sprained my ankle and decided it would be best to call Rhonda and get picked up. 6 hours later the pain hadn’t diminished so I went to hospital. A few x-rays and some prodding by the doctor confirmed I have broken a bone within my foot.

    I guess I won’t be running for a while…maybe using the crutches will improve my upper body strength though 🙂


  • A Fine Night for Dying (Jack Higgins, a.k.a "Martin Fallon")

    Rhonda bought this for me because it was cheap at the supermarket. Cheaper than some of the second hand books I’ve been buying at just 1.
    It’s a James Bond type thriller, secret agent (Paul Chavasse) has to find out who was behind the death of a man washed up on the shores of England. He sets off to catch and kill the culprits through the channel islands to the most southern parts of France. Some vivid descriptions made the scenery come alive even if the eventual outcome was a little predictable. Worth reading, and I may pick up another of his books should I see them on bookstore shelf.
