Today, while in San Antonio, Texas, I proposed to Hanne. In front of the Alamo. In Norwegian. She said yes! :)

Great Wales Run 2007

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:02 pm by GaZ

This weekend Hanne and I were down in Cardiff to run in the first ever Great Wales Run. The run was a flat-and-fast 10 kilometre course around scenic Cardiff bay, and for once it didn’t rain!

Hanne and I were both satisfied with our times of 01:07:52 (2076th) and 00:51:03 (783rd and the fastest of 4 Westerns competing in the event!) respectively. Ian, a friend from work, managed to complete the course in 00:46:00 (396th)! Well done him! All in all it’s been a good weekend.

The rain in Aquitaine…

… fell mainly on us. But we did have a couple of nice days towards the end of the week. Pictured in the photo is the gîte mum and dad rented. They spent the first of two weeks there looking for a new house, which they found in a nice little village of Lascazères, so congratulations to them! I guess I’ll have to brush up my French within the next year or two (or however long it is until dad retires).

Speaking of languages, I “passed” the Norwegian class I’ve been taking for the past few months. Jeg er flink! Although by “passed” I mean I happened to show up for the last lesson when they were handing out certificates. Now I’ve got a couple of months to keep practising before Hanne and I head over to Norway for her grandfather’s 90th birthday celebrations.

But before then I’ve also got to whip myself back in to a bit of shape after the overindulgence of beers and wines last week. The Great North Run is looming on the horizon, and Hanne and I are also taking part in the (shorter) Great Wales Run in Cardiff at the end of this month. Hmm… I’d better go for a run.

New Year; New Webhost

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:37 pm by GaZ

As Hesam mentioned, we’ve moved our websites over to a new host. Rather than muck about with my messy old setup, I decided to scratch the lot (except the blog entries and comments) and start with a nice, fresh installation of Wordpress 2.1! As you might notice, this means I’ve lost my blogroll, however I should get the links back up within a few days. Let me know if I’ve forgotten yours! I’ve also gotta decide what I’m going to do about the old photo Gallery. I can’t decide between FlickR or hosting it all myself.

In other news, Hanne and I have just returned from a weekend in Wales, after celebrating a recent promotion at work. w00t! Everything else is going swimmingly.
