The Marathon

These are photos I took on my phone of the Marathon,I didnt run it-I policed it,not that it needed much policing,even though I had my rest day canceled for it and no food for 8 hours!I had a boring place to police this time and I didnt see anyone famous apart from Brian Paddick if you can call that vain thing famous,he was waving to the crowds like he was a star or something the idiot!I never saw Gordon Ramsey so I dont know if he ran this year,every year I look out for him but never see him-maybe he cheats or something?

Some apples and a camel


the Masai Warriors,who werent running that fast-I thought Masai could run really fast?


Some fit men dressed as Rocky!


I also got a wave from the Metropolitan Police who were running with police tape wrapped around them and got chatted up by a rival police officer who bought me some tea as I was freezing,and I got invited out for a drink up by a girl I was chatting to whose Dad was running the race!Oh I knew it would be ok when I was re-deployed away from a half-wit sergeant I should have been working with-I couldnt bear to spend the day trapped with him!

Thanks for everyone's concern about Stan-he is eating and sleeping a bit more than normal but I think he's ok,even though he cost me a date I had to cancel to go and rescue him-he did me a favour I reckon though as the bloke sounded like a bit of a lazy bastard,as he was saying to me that he couldnt be bothered to travel far to see someone and didnt like driving etc etc,and could only see someone every 2 weeks at weekends as he sees his kids,talk about killing something before its started-I thought to myself 'you're not selling yourself very well here mate!'so Stan gave me the excuse to cancel and I wont bother to call him again.

I bought this bag last week to cheer myself up over Stan,its gorgeous but not very practical at all as I cant get much into it,




and these boots from Topshop

Great photos, and I love the bag and the boots. You always pick nice things, I think you must have a natural knack to it or something.
I love looking at the photos of what you have brought and then wish I had seen them first!!!

I may be coming round to steal both the bag & the boots!

Both lovely :o) Who cares if the bag's impractical? It looks good :o)
& it's a good size for a night out.

So glad Stan' back xx :o)
Told you it'd be fine. I put the GND vibes onto it. LOL

Think you were right, wine ice cubes were probably not the best idea..... Lol
