Picture Quiz:-
Go on Blog, guess who????
Dear Blog,
Long
time, no moan ... so to counter balance that situation, pin back your lug holes
mon ami. Je pence that is a bit of froggy stuff for 'mate' et 'I think', I
think??? I could be wrong???
Just
over a week ago, my daughter was entered to take part in the Coventry Fun Run,
a three mile run around the city form the War Memorial Park to the War Memorial
Park. She was to take part pushing my disable grandson in his wheelchair along
with a dozen or so other pupils from his Special School. They were scheduled to
start at 10am just outside the park on the tarmac, while the main Run was
pencilled in to commence at 10:30 on the grass inside the Park.
Gets
there in good time and get all the school numbers, but no official knew
anything about the early start or the different start place!! Great!! After a
great deal of fuss and the kiddies being kept in the cold shade of the early
Sunday morning, it transpired that the start was to be 10:30 immediately before
the main start. So 10:30 comes and goes, as does 10:31, 10:32 etc.. You get the
picture Blog??
At
about 10:41 or 2 or 3 .... sorry Blog, I was losing the will to live by then ..... they set off. My daughter starts off
with my grandson and fully expects the main field to start passing her soon,
after all the two starts were on about 300 yards (metres to you Blog) apart.
Did they get passed??? Oh no they didn't. No, not anywhere!!! I assume the main
Run might have started at 11:00, but hey, who cares??? Except for a blind bloke
running by himself having started at the same time as my daughter, my daughter
and my grandson were passed by no one and won the wheelchair event with only
this blind bloke way in front!!!!
They
were told that there was a presentation about 90 minutes later so besides having
to wait 45 minutes freezing her tits off for the start, she was expected to
hang about with her son for another age and a bit. And him needing a feed. I
don't think so after all we are talking about a disable child here, are we not?
Oh
yes, and they won a cup which was promised in a day or so .... or 10 or 20????
For an organising
company which may have been employed by the Rotary to run the event, I may be
wrong Blog, but it leaves a little to be desired. Do you want to buy my shares
in the Company, Blog??? Yours at a discount!!!
