Surf, IT Can Help and the SY Half Marathon

roddy — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:29:11 +0000

OK! So you’re probably one of those folks that thinks… it’s about time Roddy did something useful.
Here’s your chance to prove me right and egg me on in the process.

I am going to run the Stornoway Half Marathon.

I have decided further to do this for a charity I volunteer for.
Specifically I am trying to raise cash to buy a dolphin guide computer and internet connection for a blind client in Stornoway.

It’s not cheep. circa £2k with a connection. So I may be at this for quite some time

Obviously being blind and dare I say it elderly, makes our everyday experience impossible. Stornoway you would think the perfect place to be blind…It’s small : easy to get around, It’s friendly : everyone knows you.

It doesn’t work like that. Being Housebound in Stornoway relying on council services is not an easy existence.

This is the season after all to get diggin in SY. This should be extra fun for those of you who like to see me in pain. I am so under prepared.

Happier times for those of you who made it to the end of the post…click photos for links

Fishing Grimersta

OK since having been a Ghillie there,

I was always keen to have a day fishing in Grimersta.

I facebooked Jason and it was all on.. Took Andrew Brightwell (in Law) along.

Loads of time spent thinking and reflecting on the world … not so much time spent posting what it all means.

maybe the pics will help.

yes the pics are a bit moody right now.

Not as moody as me though… I broke the lcd screen on my flash and missed the chance of a great shot in Mealista.
