All I want for Christmas

The joys of children's touch rugby.
Missing teeth.
Arthur decided it was time to pull out his front tooth while playing touch rugby.
I took the tooth over to the coach and asked him to explain how his supervision of our eldest child had failed to stop the other child kicking Arthur in the face and knocking out his front tooth.
Poor fellah, he nearly fainted with fear.
Never realised I could be so convincing.
Perhaps I should sign up for acting?   Then again perhaps not.

Cycling

It seems the cycling is eventually paying off. Since August I have shed 3 stones in weight, pedalled over 1350 kms of which the equivalent of 3500m upwards. (Everest is 8848m high and base camp is at 4910m so I have a way to go yet). I have apparently burnt over 40,000 calories and spent 58 hours in doing so. Let's see if I can keep it up and how long it will take me to get to the equivalent of the roof of the world. Any betting people out there?   Follow my progress at the blog site of the South Lantau Cycling Team.
