My idea for this year is to walk along the canal from Edinburgh to Glasgow on the longest day of the year (or the Saturday closest to it). I haven’t completely done my research yet, or even decided on a charity, but I’m also mooting the possibility that if I’ve raised £500 (not including gift-aid) by two days before, I will rollerblade to Glasgow on the Saturday and walk back on the Sunday. I’ll also do lots of live-blogging and flickring and what not. Think of me as a very lazy version of Eddie Izzard.

What do you all think?

Any other suggestions?

Since I’ve just arrived back from Canada, where I’ve been for a month, and need to establish some sort of life-schedule (both generally and in detail), I think I’ll get back into blogging things, and even timetabling some blog time in to make it at least once a week. This blog will be more random ideas/funny things I have seen or done, and the other blog (Currently called ‘(a) Green Diplomat?‘) will be for political stuff, which may make me slightly more likely to go off on one. Anyway, at least two people have said I should get into blogging to try to focus my thoughts a little, so, lets give it another go.

This all sounds terribly earnest, doesn’t it? I think I may need a little earnestness for a change. It beats aimless cynicism.

Because I like posting pictures to make things a bit more colourful, here is one that is doing the rounds, and is obviously not photo-shopped.

p.s. remember that Arthur’s seat challenge?

Total raised online: £460.10
+
Gift Aid plus supplement:£87.75

Not bad going, I think… Thanks to everyone who supported me, sorry my reporting got a little flaky near the end. I’m going to come up with another challenge soon…
