4 people died as a result of coronary thrombosis whilst participating in 'The Great North Run' in September this year. Nevertheless, I remain convinced that SPORT IS GOOD FOR YOU.

So, I decided to take up surfing - salt, sunburn, sharks...all the eSsentials for a shallow sabbatical. Not, perhaps, as spiritually uplifting as an evening of unbridled passion with the night mare of one's dreams, but still an acceptable (& more accessible) substitute. Inevitably, the experience was a littoral anti-climax...in essence, I'm a complete wreck, languishing somewhere off the coast of exhaustion. I guess, in retrospect, I can attribute this to having woken up every time I was thrown off my board.

Despite this reverse in enutrof, I remain undaunted. My next rapid eye movement will plunge me into the unfathomable depths of marine equestrianism, the stuff of which memories are made.

Back to the wall...
