The NEW UK Kink Thread

Been out to cheer on some London Marathon runners. Freezing out there, but maybe that was good running conditions. Amazing to see it in person rather than on the telly.
 
Already beat you to it.
I messed this week up at specifically 09:24am Monday.

Hi Consilience, that sounds like a rough start to the week, even I've managed to make it to lunchtime without arrows in my hat!! Although I think the waggon's at least one wheel short :eek:

Mine was messed up for me at 08:55 when my plans for the working week were torpedo'd via text message!

Ah well, such is life... and at least I had Belle here to grumble at!

Heh... my wife and I were out there too! We were lurking on the Isle of Dogs, just after the 17 mile marker. As you say, the weather was weird, alternating between icy breezes and bursts of burning hot sunshine. It was great to see at close quarters the masses of runners, including a few that we were there specifically to cheer on. It was also an eye-opener to witness in person the pace of the elite runners. On television, the foreshortening of the camera lens tends to make it seem that they're just jogging along gently, but I can assure you that they're shifting along at an incredible rate. I'd struggle to keep up with them even if I sprinted alongside them for a short distance.

After that, we went down to the Brighton Twisted Market and afterparty. It was a busy day for us, but a satisfying one too. :)

Ah, we passed like ships in the night then! We were at I think the 18 mile marker in Canary Wharf for a while. Popped over to Tower Gateway too.

We liked the spankers... Or are they not called that? :eek:

Ah... not too far away, then! :)

Oh, yes! Once I was handed those and had inflated them, there was no way that they weren't going to get used as such. I think our vanilla friends were quite surprised when I suddenly set upon my wife with great gusto, and even a couple of police officers stationed nearby looked on in mild amusement. They made quite a good sound too (the spankers on my wife, not our 'nilla friends or the police officers) -- a comical boinging sound that would have been at home in a low-budget slapstick film. :D

Hahaha! Exhibitionist streak? :D Not even we dared do that with all the serious looking security types around. Good for you.


Er, there was hail today. Hail. Not impressed.

Oddly enough, there was huge hailstones dropping here about 40 minutes ago. Now there's clumps of ice all around.
So it practically snows in April after having summer conditions through winter.
Good job @Climate.

It's making occasional appearances. :D

It was all very relaxed where we were. The police officers were chatty and jokey amongst the good-natured crowd. They did threaten to arrest one woman who was trying to cross the road while the runners were in mid-flow, but that would have been the least of her problems if she had gone through with her mad intent.

Indeed. I've just sent a strongly-worded letter of complaint about that to the Dear x department. If I don't receive a satisfactory explanation, then I shall demand an independent public inquiry. *pouts* :mad:

When I set off for my run at 4.30 pm, it was warm and sunny, so I went out in short jogging pants and a crop top.

By the time I'd turned round for home, 25 minutes later, I was running into the teeth of what felt like a force 9 gale, freezing cold, and being pelted by hailstones.

Not. Fun. At. All.
 
Just got back from dance class. After the class the teacher tells me that the routine we learnt today requires more grace than enthusiasm.

I wish he had mentioned that at the start of the class. I was aiming for enthusiasm :eek::D

enthusiasm should never be quashed. in dance or any other subject.;)
 
Had some fun with rope at a private party this evening. My technique is improving! Encouragingly, my wife still has full function and feeling in all of her limbs.

When we left, our car was covered in snow. It was the slushy stuff -- not any hazard -- but C'MON SPRING! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US? :eek:

Good news on the rope work then!

With reference to your Dear X post on the weather, I saw lambs today :) Really cute pair. I think I could even describe them as gamboling :D
