Oh no baby. We keep those things to ourselves!). As you would expect from the pair of us we were open and honest and good-natured.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards we braved the freezing gusts of blusterry galedom, walked in to the centre of Oxford and headed straight for a Latte.<\/p>\n<p>What planet are people from? Those people. The girls walking around in leggings and vests with hideously large and ineffective belts slung around their waists?<\/p>\n<p>Or those people, the ones in short skirts and strappy tops that show far too much cleavage when the temperature is a balmy (not!) six degrees?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m asking where these people come from because there were hundreds of them walking around the centre of Oxford today, all dressed as if they&#8217;d just jetted in from Bermuda. It wasn&#8217;t just the girls. Boys in shorts and t-shirts too. WTF?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we warmed our hands and insides and cake may have been partaken.<\/p>\n<p>Ahem.<\/p>\n<p>Then we browsed HMV and bookshops and the shopping arcades and then we met Jaimie, a guy who wants to contribute to <a title=\"This Reality Podcast\" href=\"http:\/\/thisrealitypodcast.com\" target=\"_blank\">the podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This makes two people, Jaimie and Will, who have volunteered to review, interview and record for This Reality Podcast. I&#8217;m very excited by their participation, drive and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>More hot drinks followed and then we said goodbye to Jaime and headed home for cuddles and snogs and a little fondling on the couch. This may have been followed by a doze on my part.<\/p>\n<p>And now I have to get changed, go up to the yard and show Philippa how to drive my lorry because I said she could borrow it next weekend.<\/p>\n<p>And then I shall ride the Vinster.<\/p>\n<p>Then home again.<\/p>\n<p>On the face of it I have done nothing today &#8211; except been out for six hours. But I am completely washed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is only Saturday mid-afternoon and I feel drained.
