I Haz Started Luvin Lolcats

When I first looked at ICanHazCheezburger.com I thought it was completely ridiculous and couldn't understand why people found it funny, but after returning there today I can't stop chuckling!



Who can't help but laugh at this, eh? Design and build wise the site is crap - but it goes to show that having an unusual and unique idea that captures people's imaginations is the foundation for a successful site and millions of hits.

Right, off to fish out some pictures of my old cats and lolify them!

My Droplet!

Got my hands on one of these little fellas the other week!


These little vinyl toys were designed by Gavin Strange, our Senior Designer at work. He came into the office and dished them out to us all in a Santa-like fashion, minus the beard and red clothing.

Droplets come in 6 different sweetie colours/flavours, but they are blind-boxed so you never know which one you are going to get. There's even a 'special edition' black and gold one which is made in a smaller ratio to the rest. Mine is named Refresher :-)

They make great pressies and are very collectable - I'm already contemplating buying another to see if I can get the pink and yellow 'rhubarb and custard' version. You can buy them worldwide from Crazy Label's store

What makes them even more popular for me - Droplet has its own Facebook page. I'm sold! :-D

I want to run...have I gone mad?

Between being ill, going to Glastonbury and moving up the ladder in my job I have somehow manged to become a couch potato.

I went to play badminton the other day and was knackered afterwards. Granted, I still won my games but I didn't do it in style :-) To make me get off my fat ass I've decided to set my sites on the Ashton Court 10k run at the end of September. It only leaves me with a month and a half to train but if I put my mind to it I think it's doable.

So, first session today: 10 minute run (I'm easing myself in gently) followed by 35 minutes on the cross trainer. My legs feel ok although I'm sure I'll feel a bit achy tomorrow.

Back to the gym tomorrow, I need to get back into an early morning routine and there's only one way to do it....

I've decided to log my training sessions here. Not exciting to read, but a good strategy to help me keep to my training schedule (small bit of sports science knowledge in there somewhere.....possibly!)
