You have to spin a good yarn before you can weave a great dream.

(Wednesday) All the quotes come from different sources; this one sounds quite meaningful but I assure you it isn't.

Anyway 9/2 completed. I saw grandad's pigeons being released along with others up on the moor; I do hope he wins the Golden Wing Cup this year. Nan is down at Poundland buying jd's for the graduation party. It will be on Friday because I have to ride to Isengard on Thursday to visit Sauron. Second Lieutenant Spoonierunning, Battle Dog and Scout Bunny have promised me a coffee and walnut cake to celebrate but Joey Essex has eaten all the cake forks so we have to use full size ones or our fingers. As the party is in the mess tent I don't suppose fingers matter.

Also Corporal I_will graduated yesterday so she is now a Second Lieutenant! Let's hear it for Second Lieutentant I_will!

dozzer19Graduate in reply toI_will

I'm not sure what to promote myself to. Lord High Admiral of the Seas, Emperor of Lands and Planets in this Galaxy and Boyond .... Get the idea. Possibly just Red on Red.

Yes, you did had fun. I'm surprised in that case to have seen Gobby Brenda in the caff in town. She didn't spot me cos I was at the table behind her. Crikey! She does go on, her poor mate didn't get a word in edge ways. Did I see nan on one of those fancy motorised scooters? Maybe she's sick of the lack of trolley. Not long for her now though, if the trolley's fit to give back that is.

No it wasn't Nanna on the scooter , it was Madge from Benidorm, she was in town for the opening of the new 99p shop :-) Hey Dozz, youre going to graduate on Friday the 13th ha ha :-) xxx

Do superheroes ever get scared or nervous ?

Fear is a word not to be found in dozzer's dictionary. The highest level of worry possible is 'quaking in boots'.

I have a wild 5k, 30min, 3st dream, I hope so.

poppypug profile image
poppypugGraduate in reply todozzer19

I went out on my first run after graduating last night, I did 4k in 30 mins. I was knackered :-) I need to lose about a stone I think . I love chocolate , biscuits ( jd's of course ) cakes and puddings , they are my downfall :-) xxx

dozzer19 profile image
dozzer19Graduate in reply topoppypug

4k sounds like a bit of a pipe dream. Not actually sure how far I cover, don't have an internal, or external counter.

poppypug profile image
poppypugGraduate in reply todozzer19

You can do it Dozz, course you can :-) Anyway, the distance doesn't really matter, I just was interested to see how far I covered in 30 mins :-) xxx

I'm getting a bit pathetically morose here, aren't I. Get a grip. Think of the super colossal achievement and the wild post-run partying that'll be going on. Bring it on!

Good job. I found some in the back of the fridge but I think they're somewhat out of date.

poppypug profile image
poppypugGraduate in reply todozzer19

Ah don't worry about that , they're not too fussy. Failing that, I was wondering about a little side car each side of the Pinto , will it work do you think ? :-) xxx

Yep - Just a dream. BUT you never know

"Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!

Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!

spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,

a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!”
