Thanks for all your pestering - it has worked. Sally and I finally made it to the gym today! We got up early today and were in the gym by 9:15am. I used the machines and Sal went for a swim. She did 14 lengths and would have done more except it turns out that Boring Bald Andy is a lifeguard there on Saturday mornings. He came over and stood by her lane staring at her so she decided to stop as she was getting creeped out. We aren't allowed to go on Saturday mornings anymore.

After we got back and recovered, we called Chris and Dave and went to Virginia Water to walk by the lake. It is gorgeous - make me take you there if you visit. It is actually part of Windsor Great Park where Madde and I went to see the polo match.

Sally and I have commissioned Dave to put his photographic ability to work and take some nice black and white pictures for us. He is very good and we are looking forward to some great art on our walls.

Dave has also added a fantastic section to his website - it is called The Curse of Self Awareness. As he explains Self Awareness is our ability to remember that we are not the only people on the planet and that what we do affects the people around us. So far, people have ranted about luggage on the tube at rush hour, people who stop in the middle of the street for no reason, 'help' lines, motorists who swing out in traffic to see why they are not moving and George Bush. The website is http://thebrowns.squarespace.com/ - have at it.
