I HAVE WALKED 1000 MILES!
One thousand flipping miles. Ask my feet. 
Just within the city limits of Utrecht this afternoon on a moderately boring stretch of the N237, my pedometer clicked over to show three miles. Added to the 997 other it had counted its way through, this hits the magic four-digit number. I won’t stop walking, though. With just Amsterdam, Ijmuiden and Newcastle to go (roughly 45 miles altogether) it’d be daft to stop now. And besides, I want to make sure I’ve definitely done the thousand, taking into account miscalculations, inaccuracies and the like. In the meantime, I’m settled in at Andrea’s with a cute bunny, a mad cat and two friendly flatmates. Tomorrow I get to see Esther again for the first time in many months. And for the record, in case nobody else has reached this conclusion yet: I ROCK!!! (See the magic moment in all it’s YouTubey goodness here)

Thanks, JJ. The website’s not exactly how I’d like it as yet but there’s not a lot more I can do until I can afford a more expensive web setup. And the time!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Huge hugs - and perhaps a pint or two of ale - will be lined up when you get down this way next.
Take care.
