So here I am in the place where I grew up and today it snowed,just enough to cover the ground.Of course I see on tv that the weather in NY is warmer than here.

When I am in England I go to visit my cousin in the village where I grew up.She has a guest room and it makes it really easy for me to visit old friends if I want to.She and her husband would make me a nice dinner when I visited,sadly my cousin Tony died of lung cancer a few years ago,it is nice to spend a few days in the area that meant so much to me in my youth.Today is the day I go visit.

It is a very cold overcast day,and my cold seems to have re-surfaced.The cabbage parcels went down well,my niece and nephew said I did a good job.Although it is still 6 days away I have started thinking that I will be back in New York soon,but this morning I got to watch something I do not get a chance to see too much of in NY.I watched winter biathlon on UK Eurosport,it made me look forward to the up comming winter olympics.

Since I am a vegetarian,whenever I visited my mother she would make a meal for me at least once that became a favourite in the family.it was cabbage parcels,filled with rice,walnuts and italian tomato's.Today I made it as part of the family dinner,when I had finished the prep for the oven,I went for my run and the sun came out through the rain clouds.I hope this was a good omen.

The village (officially it's a Market Town ) where my sister lives is quiet and peaceful.There is a stall market twice a week,which attracts a lot of people from the surrounding area.The path that I run on is made of asphalt but has lichen growing on it,which you some idea of the air quality around here.It is a nice place to be for a few weeks.

Another beautiful day ,and all is quiet.Well not really, the phone as been ringing a lot.It seems a lot of people decided to wait until today to call and wish us a happy new year.There is a full slate of football games today and I will let you know how my team does tomorrow.I know you will all be waiting with baited breath.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It is a beautiful day out there as I ran along the country road near my sisters.There were cows looking at me with a mild curiosity,and it felt really good.I hope 2006 will be a good year for everyone,I always like to a little forward but stay in the moment.

New Years eve.The weather is not bad and the day is full of football ( soccer ).I watched Arsenal stuggle to draw with Aston Villa 0-0.I will see in the New Year at home with my family,which is probably the way it should be.

A somewhat cold and rainy day,but went with my sister to buy a new dvd recorder.Then I had to help her set it up,things are a little different here in the Uk but I managed.Other than that it was i bit of a lazy day.

There is a frost on the ground that is so thick it looks like snow, and the temp' is around -6c(26f).I a feeling about 90% better,and my beloved Wolves won 2-0 yesterday after losing 2-0 on boxing day.My friend Abichal should be close to or finished running in a 48hr race in Arizona,I hope he did well.

My head still hurts,but it is getting better.There is snow in some parts of the country,but here we just got a good frost.There are football ( soccer ) matches today but some have been postponed because of the weather.My nieces friend is making curry for dinner tonight,that will probably kill my cold.

Woke up this morning with a thick head,it is that time of the year ,and I think I am probably eating too much junk food .Well it is Christmas.We did get to see some snow,but it was just blowing in the wind.

Today is what we call in England,Boxing day,it was tradition many years ago to box up old presents and give them to those less fortunate.So after recieving something it is a chance to give something back,indeed a really good idea.The weather here is rainy today,but here in the countryside all is green.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS !!!! Yes it 's that day in the Christian calender we opened our presents nice and early,but it took the whole family plus guests about 2 1/2 hours,one at a time.It is a little foggy,but the sun is trying to break through.The house is full noise and happiness and cheer.

It's christmas eve and I have recieved a couple of Christmas e-cards from friends afar.The house is full of family and lots of preparations are being made with the food for the big day.

Woke up nice and early this morning ( 5:30 ),and managed to get out on the road for my first morning run since I got here.I have been running in the afternoon until now.It is cool but bright and sunny.I took my camera with me and made some nice photo's that I will post at a later time.In my family it is officially christmas eve,eve.

It is now officially winter,here in this part of the world.today was the day for me to wrap my christmas presents.Once that was done off for a run on the same country road I have been using for the last week and a half.My editor has made the changes to my Dilly and Dally story and it looks pretty good.

A few days left before Christmas,and we go grocery shopping.This involves getting food for 2 weeks.The shops are surprisingly not as busy as they should be.Manage to get in a nice run in the afternoon.

There is a house full of guests,my niece Tracy, her friend and her son.We all went shopping this morning,which is mild but overcast and wanting to rain.Managed to get a few extra presents,only a couple of days away now.

There is a really nice family bakery in the village called jaspers,and everytime I am here I like to get there cherry scones,they are worth waiting a year for.My friend Utpal called me this morning,it seems it is raining a lot where he is .My niece Tracy will be arriving later today,she is visiting for the holidays.The weather is once again warmer.

Well I stayed up late last night and watched my beloved New York ( Footballing ) Giants win there 10th game this season.Then after a nice,but cold run this morning watched football ( soccer ) almost the rest of the day.The joys of being in England.

It's saturday,I'm in England and I'm surrounded by sport,particularily football (soccer).To plagerize an american baseball movie," is this heaven,no it's England".There is so much football on tele,it is almost too much,but I am really happy.I've only been here a week.

Just want to say that it is wonderful being in the country.Though it is a little cold at the moment I have the chance to run on beautiful country roads with green fields and farms all around.It has been more than a week now and I am really happy with the discipline of my aerobic training,one has to be very steady.I think maybe that my diet is a litle better.

OK, so it is much colder today,but nice and sunny,not much to say so we will leave it at that for now,and see what tomorrow brings.

Up nice and early this morning,and off to a place called Merry Hill shopping center,I spent most of the day there with my sister and my nephew,doing the last of our christmas shopping.The weather here is still quite mild though today we didn't see any sun.It was tiring but we had a good day.

Boy am I feeling so much better today!It is a little colder outside,there was a frost this morning.But the village where my sister lives is so quiet and peaceful.I also get a chance to catch up on a lot of football ( soccer ) action especially my local team Wolverhampton Wanderers who are doing ok,that's about it for now.

Slept like a log and my jet lag is a little better,the weather here at my sisters is really nice and I have a chance to rest and relax in a quiet environment. Christmas is just a couple of weeks away.

Flight was fairly un-eventful and quick,For some reasonI seem to have a pretty strong case of jet lag,The weather here in the UK is a bit better than in NY ,and of course it is nice to be with my family.It is 52 years to the day since I was born,so as soon as I arrived at my sisters we were off visiting various aunts and uncles then later my nephew and 1 niece visited me.I am now posting on Uk time.

I am just a few hours away from my flight to England,and a number of last minute things have come up,but I am almost finished.It is a beautiful day out there,though still quite cold.By all accounts it is a little warmer in the UK,I will let you know.

According to the reports there were a lot of people in central park for the John Lennon aniversary.The weather this morning was a mix of snow and rain,afternoon though cold was quite sunny and pleasant.I managed to take care of a few last things before I go to England tomorrow.One of them was to watch the draw for the world cup of soccer I am happy with Englands group,and will enjoy watching the games next summer.

Ok so it is 25 years since John Lennon was shot here in NYC,I seem to remember that it wasn't quite as cold as it is today,and it will be hard for those that come to pay homage in the park today. 

Winter is definately here this morning the walk to work was in a temperature of 26f ( about -3c ).The wind made it feel a lot colder especially on my face.I have a few more days in NY and then I am off to see my sister for the holiday season.

Well we didn't get as much snow as was expected,but it was still nice to see it blanketing the streets of NYC this morning on the way to work.I have started to do aerobic training for the winter months,which involves me running with the heart moniter my niece Michele gave me some time ago.I will try to keep it up for about 4 months this winter,and it should help my racing in the spring.

It was at this time of the year 25 years ago that John Lennon was shot here in New York.This is a photo I took when I visited central park last year I will post more later. 

Woke up to a winter wonderland,snow not quite as heavy as this ,but maybe just as pretty.Temp just below freezing but pleasant,made for a really nice run for Utpal and myself,It should get warm enough for most of the snow to disapear later. 

Although winter is still 18 days away officially,it really felt like it today with temp's around freezing the whole day.Surprisingly the same number of runners showed up for the 2 mile race . I spent some time with my friend Abichal talking about Ultrarunning.I write articles for his multiday website occasionally and he says the last one I wrote has been getting some attention,you can check it out by clicking on the multidays.com link on my links list then going to the multiday blog.They say there is snow coming tonight so it should make it interesting for my run tomorrow morning,keep you posted.

Today is of course my short day at work,so I used the extra time wisely and went Christmas shopping.I got some nice presents for my Nephew and niece.The day is very wintery,cold and windy ,but with some sunshine.

Well it is finally December and the holidays are not far away.I have had one night to sleep on it and I think I have my plan of action ready,though yesterday mind was a little different,I am now listening to my heart and know the right thing to do with regard to my children's book.So wish me luck,my sister already did.

Well the day started off pretty good,and the work day went by quite quickly.However I started to feel exhuasted on the way home,and even considered not going for a run later.Run I did and felt a little better.Then I checked my mail and it seems that I have an agent for my children's book,her name is Georgina,which must be a good omen since that is my sisters name,and she is one of my biggest supporters.So I must catch my breath and get ready for the next phase of the process.

It's a really overcast and lightly rainy day here I NY so I thought I would post a nice summer time photo. 

It was a long holiday weekend.I was at work just long enough to get used to being back,then home.The weather has improved 62f this afternoon.My sister just sent me a message to say her dog is going in for a knee operation,hope everything goes well.Good Luck Shadow!!

This is thanksgiving weekend,which started on thursday,so it is getting quite long now.Went out for my sunday run with my friend Utpal.The weather is starting to warm up again,but it was still a refreshing 37f.Having completed my run followed by breakfast,I give my sister a call in England.It seems the weather has been quite changeable there too.After last week being cold,the coming week is due to be warmer.

With the usual people out of town it was up to Utpal and I to be the officials at the 2 mile race this morning.It was cold and overcast,with a low turnout.Those who ran seemed to have a good time.It stayed cold but the sun came out later.I am working on setting up my new laptop,switching a lot of files.

I look out of the window and it looks like a beautiful day,the sun is shining and the sky is blue.When you step outside the cold air bites at your face,it is 22f (-5c ) out there and that is not so nice.I jusy heard that the great footballing legend Goerge Best died a few hours ago he will be sadly missed by all who appreciate the game of football ( soccer ).

Here in the US it is Thanksgiving a national holiday.The snow they predicted here in NY did not come yet, though it is cold enough.Ran with Utpal and later we will have Thanksgiving dinner.My mother would have had a birthday today,I think her 77th,I feel her with me all the time ,so I wish her HAPPY BIRTHDAY.Today also marks 5 years since I published my first poetry book,dedicated to my mother.So a special day in many ways.

It feels like this in New York right now,though it doesn't look like this yet it may be only a day away.I will keep you informed.

Cold and rainy all day,with very strong winds.It is what they call a Nor'easter.The weather from here on in will be cold.maybe some snow later in the week.

The day started quite nicely,but the weather seemed to get worse as the day went on.It is very overcast as I am writing this post and it looks like it is going to snow ( I don't think is will ),but there is supposed to be snow coming later this week.Also I started sneezing last night and continued this morning,so maybe I have something I need to fight off.

It's my friend Utpal's birthday today,we went out ofr our usual run a little early this morning at 7am.it is a beautiful fall morning and it seems it will be a nice day.We will do something else later in the day to celebrate.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UTPAL!!!!

35f at the start of the 2 mile race today,but sunshine and a large turnout made it very pleasant.I had to manouver my way through at few runners at the start,but I think this helped me to relax a little and my race was pretty even, my time of 15min 20sec was just about mid way between my last 2 weeks times . I am always just happy to run and get a good speed work out.

Very cold this morning,33f ( 1c ) though with the wind it felt like 26f ( -3c ).During the walk to work there was ice on any open water.Now there is bright sunshine,the air is still very chill.it is a little below normal for this time of the year,but that is New York for you,not always normal.

About 26 years ago I paid $700 for a kaypro portable computer,which was about the size of a small suitcase,which felt like it was full of books.I just purchased an IBM laptop for less than $400,and it is the size of a large TV dinner,and infinately more powerful than the Kaypro,what a world we live in.

The day started off really nice,even a little sun late in the morning.But as was predicted it is now turning very windy as if a storm is on the way,the temp' is nice though 66f,but once the storm blows through it will get cold and begin to feel like winter is on it's way.

This is a photo I took in Novi Sad,the statue is of a famous Serbian writer of children's songs and poems.His name is Jovan Zmaj,I have one of his books.

In England at this time of the year the FA Cup has started,and there are lots of chances to see if a non league minnow can become a giant killer.On e such team,Chasetown a club from the region where my sister lives,managed to draw there 1st round game with Oldham.In a few days time they get another chance to keep there dream alive.Today I got a chance to to hear Kate Bush's new cd,and it is really great. It is on my christmas list and hopefully some one will get it for me.

The perfect time to go for a run,as Utpal and I set off for our usual sunday run at 7:30 am the temperature was 50f ,bright sunshine and a light breeze.Our run takes us through neighbourhoods filled with tree lined streets and at this time of the year there is beautiful colour and the rustle of some leaves under foot.So even if you are a little tired from racing the day before,it is still a really pleasant and most satisfying run.

The 2 mile race was cold this morning 39f ( about 3c ) but I managed to run a little faster than in this picture.There was a nice big field of runners this week so I had company pretty much all through the race,my time was 15min 32 sec,but because of the cold air my lungs are sore,I feel like I have cleaned some thing out.

The day started cold 42f, and I went to work for a few hours.later while having a late breakfast I met an old musician firend of mine and we talked about old times.today is the day I sign my contract with my literary agent,so hopefully there are alot of new things in store for Dilly and Dally,we wait to see.

It was quite nice when I left for work this morning,but when I left to come home this afternoon there was a noticeable difference,it felt so much colder.They say that there is a cold front passing through and that the temp will drop to 36f,it feels close to that now and there is a strong wind,but then again the sun is shining.We will see what tomorrow brings.

Today was supposed to be a rainy day,though at the writing of this post it is not raining,but I think it is not far away.This photo was taken on a sunny day I spent in San Francisco this past summer.I should have more news on the childrens book front soon.

I am some what of an advanced novice when it comes to this blogging stuff.it seems my posts where there all the time ,but because of a problem with my browser I could not see them,well it is ok now.I have just been offered a contract by a childrens book agent to help me with my Dilly and Dally books,so wish me luck.

There seems to have been a technical problem ,and lthough I have been posting nothing has been showing up on my blog for the last 2 days.If it starts to work again I wil try and update the 2 missing days.That's it for now.

There was and infact still is a fog this morning when Utpal and I went for our run this morning.It was an interesting run,every time we would see another runner there would be an exchange of comments that in some way or another referred to the NYC marathon,which of course is happening today.I think it should be interesting because the conditions are good.

A beautiful crisp ,sunny morning.I managed to run my best 2 mile race for a while,but I had the experience that my lungs could not keep up with the speed of my legs.I was breathing as hard as i could but my legs wanted to run faster.It is a good sign because it means that there is more improvement there.My time was 15min 04 sec hopefully it will get better as my lung capacity increases,we will see next week. Oh! by the way it is Guy Faulkes day in the UK.

I have a friend who is in her 70's,and every spring and autumn I go for a few hours and help her with some chores.In the sprindg I plant up her garden,and in the autumn I winterize her house,covering air conditioners etc.today was the day I winterize,and what a loverly day it is,bright sunshine and the high is supposed to hit 70f.So it was a perfect day to do the work.

yesterday I was fortunate to be present at a function honouring marathon runner Paul Tergat who has the fastest time ever in the marathon of 2:04:55.he is in town for the NYC marathon this sunday,and he was being honoured not only for his achievements in sport but also for his work to help children of poverty.He is an ambassador for the UN World Food programe.

What is now
Is it next
will this question
Keep me vexed

Will the answer
Come somehow
Oh! I think
It came just now.

A poem from my book,
Inner Voices

On my walk home in the afternoon I go by a few Indian (from the sub continent ) stores and today is the start of Diwali ( the festival of lights ),and things are quite loud and colourful.as I write this post I am watching Real Betis and Chelsea in the champions league,and Betis are winning 1-0,it is getting a bit rough as the ball goes from end to end.

It's halloween,and the weather is apparently "normal" , with temps at night in the high 40's and during the day in the 60's.A friend of mine from london,who was very sick in the summer has come to New York for a week for a visit.It is really nice to see him looking so well and he seems very happy to be here.

So time went backwards this morning,well 1 hour anyway.It is that time of the year when we go back to standard time ,so we get 1 more hour of sleep.I still woke up at the usual time which was 1 hour early.It has gotten ( bad english I know ) a little warmer and the sunday run with my friend Utpal was very pleasant,with bright sunshine included.I got a reply from the childrens book agency and they want more information so that is a good sign.

In June I had a problem with my right calf while running my saturday 2 mile race,making it difficult to train for a week,thogh I still managed to run a marathon 1 week later.This morning I awoke with some tightness in my right calf and wondered if I was in for a repeat.It was quite cold
(about 41f ),but I warmed up as well as I could and managed to run the 2 mile race in 15min 39 sec wich is 13 sec faster than last week,and my right calf feels pretty good.

My children's picture books ( the Dilly and Dally Tales ) were self published in eastern europe,and when I have the time,I am trying to get them published here in the US.I have just discovered a new agency for childrens books and will send them a query letter today and see what happens.

Here's one of my poems from "Be Happy";

Just be up
don't feel down
wear a smile
not a frown

Put a skip
into your step
see the sunshine
all around.

This is what came to mind as I was walking to work this morning.The actual temperature was 40f but the wind chill factor made it feel like 37f,yes it is that time of year again when they tell you the wind chill factor.This photo was taken in Bosnia and Herzegovina in march.

Heavy rain and srtong winds this morning.Apparently the records state that in 1903 13.3" of rain fell in New York City till now the most rain to fall in the month of October,but so far this month we have had 16.5" of rain with possibly more to come before the month is out.

It was a white breath morning on the way to work today.I oversplept just a little but managed to get to work on time.Maybe the change in season is making me want to sleep more.The air is still crisp, but there is bright sunshine to go with it now.

It really fels like fall is here,the temp this morning when I went for my run with Utpal was 46f ( 7c)
though it is supposed to rise to around 60f today.As we were running I was thinking that at the same time ,the Danish runner Jesper Olson who has been running around the world .Is in London running towards Greenwich to complete is almost 2yr 10 month journey.Congratulations Jesper!!!
Check him out on worldrun.org

This photo is for a young friend from the Ukraine,who has started visiting the blog. My hamstrings felt a little tight today during the 2 mile race,it may have something to do with the fact that it was 49f and raining,but my time wasn't so bad 15mins 52 secs I think 1 second faster than last time.it looks like it will be a cold rainy weekend.The heating has come on in my apartment for the first time since March.

Over the years I have discovered that machines can be interesting things,they often react to the environment around them,temperature,humidity, etc.Also to the operator's mood or attitude.When things are going wrong,if the operator gets frustrated more things seem to go wrong,but if they take a minute to calm down things seem to sort themselves out.it is as though the machine is trying to tell us something about life.

Many years ago during my first winter working after leaving school,I experienced problems with my hands becoming very dry and sometimes they would crack and bleed.My hands would always be getting wet during my work and the cold weather punished the skin.My mother told me that I should put ahnd cream on before leaving for work,being of the the male gender I was a bit reluctant to do this ,but when I did I found it helped tremendously.In later years I discovered that farmers often use axel grease from their tractors to protect their hands when working in the fields.I mention this because for the first time this year I noticed my hands are becoming dry from the cold weather.I will continue to use my mothers advice.

At this time of the year it is still dark when I leave to walk to work in the morning,dawn breaks just as I get to work.
This photo is of a harbour town on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.

A sprinkle of rain early this morning,but then the afternoon was nice,though a little windy,mid 60's and bright sunshine.I am watching Manchester Utd play Lille in the Uefa Champions League as I write this post,there is no score and Man U are down to 10 men with 20 minutes left.My friend who is recovering from colon cancer came in to see us today at work ,he has lost a lot of weight but seems good.

All last week while it was raining so much,I spent all the time walking around in my "wellies",and I am not so sure this good for the feet or maybe even ones posture.Anyway I have a few aches and pains,but seemed to have a good start to the work week.The weather is glorious,cool and bright sunshine.I work a short day on Mondays so I can enjoy the rest of the day.

A very nice morning 54f ( 6c ) with bright sunshine,ran with Utpal about 7 miles.He is still recovering from his flu,but we had a good run.Though it has stopped raining the wind has now become quite strong .Hopefully this will not mean that a lot of trees will be blown down ,as in the past.My nephew Marc will be very happy because his team West Bromwich Albion beat Arsenal in the EPL yesterday.

Woke up this morning a little foggy,must be the change in the weather it has finally stopped raining and there is sunshine kind of like the picture you see here.I think it will be a nice weekend.I am making a shout out to my uncle Alf and Aunt Doreen who are visiting with my sister for the weekend . 

An old friend and fellow ultra runner Ed Kelley and his wife Kim are visiting from California.I got to have brunch and spend some chatting.Ed reminded me that it is 6 years since we were both in the same place together.Which only shows how fast time flies.In that time Kim has begun working in the Sacremento basketball organisation.Also, it began raining a week ago ,and we have so far had 12" of rain and it is supposed to continue through tomorrow.

Since I was born in England and my father was born in Serbia,I am happy to say that both England and Serbia & Montenegro both qualified for the soccer world cup to be played in germany in 2006.England beat Poland 2-1,and SGC beat Bosnia & Hercegovina 1-0 yesterday to complete their qualification.I look forward to seeing them both do well.It is still raining and things are getting pretty damp here,but it is good for the garden.

It's been raining now for 5 days on and off,and we must be reaching totals of close to 6".The temps are in the high 50's low 60's,so it is cold enough to wear rain gear and not get all hot and bothered.There are warnings that flooding could occur in areas prone to flooding,so it might be wise to start looking for the Arc in a few days.

It is definately a lazy afternoon,with not much to say,other than the fact that my sister e mailed me to say she has my bus ticket,for when I go to see her in december.That's it! 

Jesper Olson is a young Danish runner who has been running around the world since January 2004,he has been in New York for the last 3 days and I have had a chance to spend some time with him.His journey is quite remarkable,and if you want to know more go to his web site at www.worldrun.org .He leaves New York tonight for Ireland and plans to finish in Greenwhich england (where it all started ) on October 23.It was really nice to spend some time talking to him about his adventure.

Man! did it rain yesterday!We got about 2 1/2" of rain in 24hrs and some really strong winds blew down trees and some power lines,there were repair crews out all day and part of the night.Things seem to be back to normal today.It was cold and damp out this morning,my friend Utpal has recovered enough from his flu to run ,but didn't run too far.

Today I am doing a kind of comunity service.There is a tennis ground close to where I live ,and for 1 day every 2 months each member acts as the gate keeper for the day.You get a free lunch,and you get to sit around and greet people all day,however it is raining today,so it will probably be quiet.There is of course a good chance that it will still be raining when I go for my run later,so that will be nice.

Maybe it's because I'm an englishman,but I like to run in the rain,though I have not had much chance lately ( it hasn't rained really since the middle of August ).They said it was going to rain today,and when I went for my run it looked like it was going to.well I ran around and around for a while but it didn't rain,though an hour after I finished it tried to.This morning I strained my right forarm at work,but after my run it felt a lot better.Sometimes doing things you like, makes things feel better.

This is a photo of Jamaica High school I took in the spring,I was focusing on the Dogwood tree.This where I saw the film crew.They say the film is called "Around the Universe" so look for the school if you see the movie. 

Just a few minutes away from where I live is a high school,called jamaica High School,it is closed for couple of days fro a holiday.Yesterday when I was going past it on my run,I noticed there was a film crew on the grounds.It seems they were filming some scenes for a movie,starring Richard Gere.I didn't see him but it was interesting to know that it was going on.

A quiet day ,though I did get an e mail from my sister.For those of you that missed it this is the tree that fell over in front of my house acouple of months ago. 

A light mist this morning made it feel quite nice on the way to work,now the day is warming up .Of course it is Monday and once again laundry time.I feel a little tired after all my running on the weekend,but it is a good start to the week.

The weather once again was wonderful this morning,unfortunatly my usual running partner Utpal was not.He has finally fallen prey to the flu bug that has been going around for a while.So I ran solo this morning,and it was great!I ran strong for about 35 minutes and it was a good recovery from my race yesterday,and I have the whole day ahead of me to enjoy.I'ts Sunday!

A few days ago I said that I was starting to feel like I was "running" in my runs.Well today in my 2 mile race I ran 15min 22sec which is an improvement of 31sec over last week.The founder of the race came out and walked the course which was a big encouragement.The weather was perfect,mid 50's.When I run like this in the early morning it really sets up the day for me.
