If someone asked for a picture of happiness …
We won the Islay Beach Rugby Tournament this past weekend. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I hope this one speaks volumes:

Tomorrow is the traditional Late Spring Bank Holiday Monday that the annual Cheese-Rolling Festival at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire takes place. The sad thing is, due to health and safety reasons, it looks like the 2011 is going to be cancelled (similar to the 2010 event).

Signed up for Marathon [30before30]
After being swamped at work and various other side projects, I've unfortunately neglected my 30 before 30 list for a bit. No fear - I'm back on track by signing up for the Loch Ness marathon on 2nd Oct. It might be a month after my 30th, but figured its best late than never!
