Wednesday 16th March 2011

Today I cycled 16k on my exercise bike, kindly loaned by my brother Ed, which was far enough after a tough day at t'office..

I had fun with Year 7 this morning, watching a theatre company called "The Riot Act" bringing the choice of careers facing young people today to life with enthusiasm and energy. It was great to be there and the pupils behaved excellently.

I have nothing to report really except that I am going to send out my food parcels tomorrow, to Ullapool and to Camas-luinie. I have discovered aqueous cream, which should resolve the minor dermatis problem which has been causing the skin around my fingers to crack and bleed. Too much information perhaps?? But the devil is in the detail, and seemingly small things like chafing can make life a misery after a few days without relief. Thus the small assortment of pots and potions in the photograph below...

No wonder my pack is heavy!! I wonder if Ray Mears takes all this stuff? I bet Bear Grylls does. And as for Ben Fogle......
Potions and lotions
