God we move slow. This could take a while.

[dozzer19]

(Wednesday) Of course we don't all move slow but dreams of a 30 min 5k run are fairly fanciful for me. It'd be more likely to happen if I nicked Captain poppypug (ents and crochet div) 's pinto. I'd get some speed up then. I am doubtlessly going to have to get into training for next year when Captain poppypug (ents and crochet div) has challenged me to a triathlon. By then 5k will be a pre-breakfast warm-up. I will need to learn to swim first.

Still trying to decide whether Nicholas Hoult's eyebrows would make me look dapper or just dodgy.

Captain poppypug (ents and crochet div) where are you? I hope the pinto hasn't stampeded and taken you off into the sunset.

[AncientMum Graduate]

Don't do it Sir!! Those eyebrows are well dodgy, they'd frighten the horses!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

As first opinion on the eyebrows is a no I'll take this as the view of the troops. Certainly I thought I might have been aiming a little high. Maybe Nick Frost then.

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Nick Frost eyebrows marginally less dodgy. Have you considered going the whole hog and rocking the Daniel Radcliffe eyebrows? They're in a class of there own!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Must check google images - can't say I'd noticed.

Oh crikey, those are definitely a big no-no.

[frannyfran Graduate]

Dodgy.

Would a mini submarine assist with the swimming?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

Ooh! A picture showing a Francophile! I'd certainly cover a greater distance than pops with one of those. Don't tell her though. She'll accuse me of cheating. Any more good expressions?

[frannyfran Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Have you considered "l'Argot"

uqtr.ca/argot/introduction....

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

Ooh, exciting. May need to have an expression of the day. You could train us - we may need to be bi-lingual at some point in the future.

[frannyfran Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Y'a quelque chose qui cloche?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

Something rings?

[frannyfran Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Is there something wrong?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

Following further thought at bedtime I came up with What's all the commotion about? Closer.

[spoonierunning Graduate]

Battle dog could teach you to swim, though he might get a little distracted by the coots

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Possibly sploshing around in shallow water would be safer. And then I can enter Battle dog in the race.

A Triathlon, what a great idea, perhaps Cpt Poppypugs ( ents & crochet div) could crochet the team cossies for the event!!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

What a splendid idea! I cannot begin to imagine how fetching they would appear after the swimming section. You say team cossies. Careful - you'll get dragged in. Notice how Captain poppypug (ents and crochet div) has gone quiet following her challenge.

[Hidden in reply to dozzer19]

No you're all safe , I appear, at present, only to be able to my personal c25k challenge on my TT (trusty treadmill) Although perhaps with the help of the shopping trolley & the pinto , I could get it over there!!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Trolley?! Pinto?! You have uttered these words - you are obliged to join the fellowship. Now you have to enter!

How many weeks in are you? If you join us you can be a corporal. When you graduate you get to be an officer

(Don't tell anyone, esp Captain poppypug (ents and crochet div), but it's not competitive, just what you can manage. Borrow a bike, do as much as you can. Go to the pool and do likewise. As virtually everything else on dozzer tv, it's for fun.)

[Hidden in reply to dozzer19]

Well hopefully Wk6r3 tomorrow if the stars, the aged joints & the TT align. So a bit behind you elite athletes!! Still I do treat myself to a swim , sauna, jacuzzi after my efforts and I'm really good at the last 2 of those events so maybe the dream could become the reality, hahaha!!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

dozz-ville expects!

[lizziebeth57 Graduate]

Hmm, I am thinking I will have to stock up on the supplies if it's a triathlon you are aiming for next. Especially if it's a team effort. So, can I borrow the pinto or nana 's trolley to help me carry the supplies back to the store?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to lizziebeth57]

Trolley!? Pinto?! You have no option but to compete now as well.

You're probably going to need more than the trolley and pinto. Take my trusty steed and the weather balloon.

[lizziebeth57 Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Okay, will head off soon. Poundland is still on my list of suppliers if only for the toblerone!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to lizziebeth57]

Ents and haberdashery has recommended 99p superstores, or something like that, but the qualities probably not the same. I'd stick with what we know.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Sorry, haberdashery it is - my bad, as they say in the common vernacular.

Never mind piggy back - I can run unaided now. Nick a bike with stabilisers from someone in the park who can't run any faster than you can. Ferd can teach us both to swim and if necessary frannyfran has offered us a mini submarine. I'm not sure we should be looking for a Plan B.

[lizziebeth57 Graduate]

I can loan you my grandsons wee push along trike, it has a sun canopy and a handle at the back so that if you get very tired another member of the team can give you a push. Let me know and I will commandeer it of necessary.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to lizziebeth57]

Most gallant of your grandson, train him well for future success and he will be as good as Major Waletta's ADC.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

To haberdasher - does that verb really exist? Now you're being daft.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

What a fraternity we have. All giving what we can for the common good. It makes me proud.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

I don't believe you but I'm not going to look, the official scrabble dictionary is elsewhere.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

That's us, quality all the way!

[dozzer19 Graduate]

lorra, lorra books but norra teacher.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Ta muchly.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

My favourite is pure dictionary with a side order of fiction.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Oh aye.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

S&F is great fun, even in the park in the rain. To be recommended.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

I think it's fish cakes here, spend too much on books to have lobster, or a maid!

Maybe see you later, if not, night pop and pups.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

You were promoted to officer ranks on graduating. You jumped NCO and Second Lieutenant. Your promotion to Captain was when you succeeded in getting me to graduate.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Shows how much attention you were paying. Ownership of pinto had obv gone to your head.
