Nah, the tan lines would be horrific,

Sleeveless shirt, cut-off jean shorts and sandals is the most practical set-up.

Throw in some aviator sunglasses and bleached tips and you too can relive the 80's!

Athletes are not heroes. They can be role models, but never heroes. Real heroes risk their lives, without hesitation. Like this guy:

And a great result for him too.

I can't help but think but for that one act of insane bravery he could be just like so many others, hiding out, hoping to stay out of notice etc.
You can argue for or against an act of bravery having amazing benefits, but I like to think maybe it's that whole karma thing. Even if I'm not sure it exists, I'd like to think maybe it does.

Hmmm, another time I know what I want to say but can't articulate it.

Well...

It's been a number of years trying and we've suffered a miscarriage but yesterday we had the twelve week scan and I can confirm that we're having a baby! So far everything points to it being fine and healthy. I am so blessed and grateful. Due date 8th December.

Not posted on Facebook yet so if you're my friend over there don't put anything public if possible.
