God we move slow. This could take a while.

(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.

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

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.

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! :)

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

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

Dodgy.

Would a mini submarine assist with the swimming?

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?

Have you considered "l'Argot"

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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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!!

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.)

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!!

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 profile image
dozzer19Graduate 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.

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

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 profile image
dozzer19Graduate

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
