So once again Oliver and Felicity made the journey in to watch me run the Bath haf.
I wonder what I'll say when Oliver asks "why do you do run around in a big circle for so long daddy?"
Oliver and Felicity were there to see me across the line and it felt magical.
Really I wanted a photo of Oliver in some shorts or something but I kind of ran out of energy so this is Oliver looking at the medal saying "why do I want this daddy, where's the chocolate they give you!"

The time for this year was 1:22:30, quite an improvement on last year and a new PB for me.
This iron footbridge over the River Avon in Bath was constructed by Westwood Baille & Co of Poplar, London in 1877. It replaced a wooden bridge which had collapsed sending twelve recently arrived railway passgers to their deaths.
This memorial stands in Bath Abbey Cemetery. One side of the base commemorates 17 year old Henry Williams "who by accidently falling off the West India docks in a dense London fog was unfortunately drowned" in 1853.
The tub was removed allowing for a large shower with wing wall. Plumbing had to be re-configured so the base of the shower was raised and a step added.
that means bath time with daddy
and that means... long time in bath
and playing with rubber ducky....

I knew my mother would have my niece for the day so i woke up early and make the trip down to see her. When i got there i could hear my niece say jeffy in here. My niece is so adorable and i always try to get a shot when i see her. Sadly she does not like posing for pictures so you have to get them while you can. I tried to get some cute bath time pictures. The light was very weird in the bathroom as well. I had a fun day with my niece and even brought her a present. I gave her the human torch mighty mugg but she couldn't say the whole thing so she just called him torch. Hopefully soon she will grasp the concept of sitting still and i can take some more pictures of her.

Bath Abbey in the early morning light.
Bath Abbey dates back to the end of the 11th century – when Bishop John transferred his seat from Wells, demolished the city’s Saxon Abbey and replaced it with a Norman Cathedral that doubled as the church of the monastery – but there were religious buildings on the same site for many hundreds of years before.
Much of the work was carried out by Bishop Oliver King in the late 15th century. The bishop was said to have had a vision of angles ascending and descending a ladder during his visit to Bath in 1499 and the west front depicts that vision.
The monastery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539, but the church itself was saved and in 1574 Queen Elizabeth I promoted its restoration, which was completed by 1611.
Wear and tear meant it was restored once more by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s and again in the late 20th century, more damage having been inflicted by bombing during the Second World War.
