Chocolate Teapot

L heads out on the 'chocolate teapot' this morning, this is her new pet name for her bike, wearing two t-shirts, a fleece and her fluorescent cycling jacket. Which by the time she gets to the gym, she regrets. It’s not that cold, even if you’re L. Meanwhile, I’m in the car because we’re back on the early training shift this week.

I see Britney’s in the news again. Perhaps I shouldn’t take advantage of her? She is really just cheap 'n' easy blog fodder but you have to don’t you. It’s been common knowledge that she mimed ‘a bit’ during her recent eight night stint at that former-Millennium Dome place that is now named after a phone network. The news today is, that it appears to be beyond any doubt, that she in fact mimed her way through the entire 19 song set, every night. What value for £50. Naturally the kiddies loved it but then they weren’t paying, whether the accompanying wallet carriers were so enamoured, no one’s saying. They were probably just glad when it was all over.



She escaped from that cage by the way. Damn. But at least someone made the effort to try to stop her performing.

So, follow that then Michael... and it seems that he intends to. The word is that the ‘great’ or should be the ‘once up on time great’ Michael Jackson intends to focus on the 'spectacle' side of the shows on his mammoth ‘This Is It’ tour of... well, Greenwich and not the singing. E.g. he intends to mime and presumably make a 'spectacle' of himself. Personally I'll be stunned if he even turns up but I’m just a natural cynic. So, ‘This is it?’... err, no it isn’t. Hope no one’s paid a lot of money for their tickets have they?

Post work it’s head home, pick up the dogs, as well as L and Daughter. Drop Daughter in Mickleover, train MD, let L have MD to run to Mickleover, train Doggo and then collect the rest of them from Mickleover. All almost as involved as doing a Triathlon.
