#Janathon Day 30 – The End is Nigh
So, today was probably my last run of Janathon, and it was a lovely day for it. Crisp and cold, but bright. Cold enough for me to take my new showerproof hoodie that Mountain Warehouse sent me out for a spin. Honestly it would need to be really cold for me to be able to…

#Janathon Day 29 – Skate Date
You know, I’ve just spent a good 20 minutes trying to come up with a pun containing the word scrim, and all I could do was keep singing “scrim, scrimeny, scrim, scrimeny, scrim, scrim, sceroo” to the tune of “Chim Chimeny” from Mary Poppins, and that is way too long and takes far too much…

#Janathon Day 25 – Playing with the Boys
Wow, less than a week left to go of Janathon, how about that!? Day 25 dawned with a feeling of slight nausea. No, I didn’t accidentally drink another 4 bottles of wine last night, but I had signed up for my first ever Co-Ed scrim with the Brawds and Smacksons, plus some visitors from Suffolk…

#Janathon Day 24 – Keep On Rolling
Roller Derby practice is normally on a Saturday afternoon, this means I like to keep Friday nights a *little* restrained so I can actually function on Saturday. This week the session was moved to later, so we didn’t start till 7:30pm and finished at 10. Well, the evil little part of my brain thought, “surely…
