The third run.....

Taken last week in our garden

Last year in October I had a big problem with my sciatic nerve it was so bad that I could hardly walk. I thought I could cure it myself but after more then a week and no sign of the pain letting up I was forced to visit the doctor. After the medical treatment ( a pain killer shot in my backside) I decided to take a longer break in running. I have been running long distances for over thirty years and my experience told me a longer break would be very sensible.
This month I started to run again, the first run was over a distance of about 4 km. The second was 5 km and yesterday I ran 10 km with out a stop. I was very surprised how quickly my endurance had returned.

It's a con.......

Old tree stumps covered wth moss...


Last year in November my laptop crashed on me which meant I had to reinstall from scratch. During the new installment I downloaded new updates and new drivers. Looking for them I discovered a download program called U4 Download .de. Now I always look for free-wear when downloading and this program was advertised as free-were. My BIG mistake was that I agreed to accept a password from them and put a cross on their terms of agreement. I did not realise for one moment that I had signed a contract for two years for a sum of 96€ a year. The big punch came in February with a warning that I had not paid my bill for 2011 and if I did not pay with in 5 days they would put the proceeding in the hands of their lawyers. The warning was sent as a E-mail with a link to their side, on clicking the link the page came up the only difference being this time at the top right hand corner there was a large warning saying this program was not free. I am not the only one who has been swindled! On my research in the Net their are thousands that have fallen for this trick.

A normal week...

Here was under water a few weeks ago ( Rhine floods)


This week really nothing has happen worth mentioning . On Tuesday I was at work, ( in the company were I used to work full time) The company is situated 100 km from were I live and when I arrived at 7 in the morning the temperature was 8 below and never went above 6 below during the day. On Wednesday afternoon we took our dog Toby to see a Homoeopath about his eyes,he has trouble with them (Conjunctivitis) ever since last May. We have naturally consulted the vet were he received treatment but there are no sign of the problem getting any better. The problem started after we had used a anti Tick preparation and we think it has affected his eyes. This is the theory of the Homoeopath she thinks that he has been poisoned in some way and that the poison is still in his body.
On Friday the weather turned right around on us, from temperature around zero it went up to 12 degrees in two days accompanied with strong winds.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tschüss.
