2 Days To Go...

I'm not sure if it's the quarter of watermelon that's messing with my stomach, or the sudden realisation that I am about to do something I have never done before, but with two days to go, it's now doing somersaults.

I can't deny that I am wondering what I have signed up for, but really hoping I can get to the end - though I guess it wouldn't be a challenge if I thought I could sail through it!

Earlier this week, I worked my way through the recommended kit list to make sure I had everything, but there are still things missing that I need to get hold of, so a trip to Cotswold Outdoor tomorrow may be needed to get the final few bits and pieces.  Even then, with almost everything you see in the image below (I culled a few clothes), there was no room for food, which is a concern for a muncher like myself :-/

I've been mulling over how I can share my progress, since I am not directly on Facebook any more, and for those that know me personally, I'll be traying to update my Instagram feed (@rcoleman_uk), signal permitting.  For everyone else, the LiveTrail tracker is now available, so you can see roughly how I am progressing: use my bib number 2085 in the search to find my profile.

Let's not forget the reason I am doing this.  With my nephew being diagnosed with Crohn's earlier this year, I am really keen to raise funds for Crohn's and Colitis UK in the hopes he can eventually benefit from a cure.  Please visit my JustGiving page to make a donation and/or share in your social media circles to try and spread the message.

Thank you!!

New Phone Time!

I have to confess that I am a long-term fan of Nokia's phones even though, looks-wise, they're looking quite dated now. The first phone I ever had was a 3210 and it was a robust little phone that withstood a fair few knocks without a problem. However, the glimmer of new tech succeeded in dragging me away a couple of times, only to be disappointed. My phone list goes something like this: Nokia 3210 , which stayed with me for years Sony Ericsson T68i , which I was disappointed with partly because the raved-about colour screen was naff and partly because the joystick broke Nokia 6680 , which I was happy with for a couple of years Orange SPV M3100 (HTC TYTN), which was quite a good machine for the first month, and then the touch screen stopped working, so it got dumped in the drawer and the 6680 was called back into service. Now I'm bouncing back to Nokia and looking forward to the E61i being delivered this Saturday ... its about time I had something decent to try and help o...

Taking The Leap

Those of you that know me in any way, shape or form, know that I can occasionally be a bit of a kitchen whore, with a passion for whipping up a cake to bestow on the unsuspecting, such as this lesson-learning creation for my nephew's birthday earlier this year:

Wild and Whacky Stories Needed

In roughly seven weeks, my cousin - whom I will call TT* - will be tying the knot with his fiancé. For some totally insane yet flattering reason, they have asked me to be best man , and tonight I was reminded that I need to sort out something in the way of a speech. Its not that I'd forgotten about the speech so much as hoping it would write itself at some point, complete with jokes that would make Peter Kaye nod his head in approval: or more importantly, make everyone at the reception laugh so much that they wet themselves - which is a distinct possibility anyway considering some of their ages where a sneeze would have the same result. However, these things don't write themselves, so I'm going to have to start getting my brain into gear. The trouble is, after a little digging around, I have not been able to uncover a single bit of dirt, comedic or otherwise, which has a tendency to limit the comic possibilities. So, this is where you come in! I feel a bit bad asking t...
