East Cheshire Hospice Midnight Walk 2009

I did the East Cheshire Hospice 10k Midnight Walk on Saturday night, well, Sunday morning actually. I did the walk last year with my then new friend. This year I procastinated that much about contacting her that she did not join me this year. I left it too late!

Fortunately for me I joined a colleague and her friends. They dressed as fairies and I went as a walker, in my anorak! We did it in 3 hours and 24 minutes. Which was longer than last year. We were held up by the shear numbers of walkers (over 1,000) crossing roads, climbing stiles, walking up narrow passages and down dark bumpy footpaths; accross fields and through housing estates.

I have raised £100 so far. My target is £150. I have an account on www.justgiving.com if you would like to contribute before 20th October that would be awsome! I have registered with the name Dorothy's Page.

Clearing My Clutter 22

The energy is flowing. After starting on the neighbourhood, one of my neighbours has been busy. I noticed today that someone has continued where I left off last time, when I cleaned up part of our garage area. This is great! I was planning in my head to do a little more on my return from shopping, but as I went out to my car I noticed that the Ivy I mentioned in my last post, has been chopped. Also, some of the weeds in the pavement blocks have been removed. While there are still some weeds knocking about and a number of loose leaves blowing in the breeze, it looks a lot better. I will go out and brush up a little tomorrow, and attack more weeds.

Instead of doing more outside, I decided to do a bit of cutting back in my own back garden again. I have filled our green wheelie bin with shrubbery stuff. Wait till my DH notices. He will be glad I have done some garden work, but maybe a bit miffed that I have filled the bin and he will have nowhere to put his grass cutting later in the week. Ah well, you can't have it all ways.
