In a mad panic rummaging around in the back of the ninja wagon trying to find the lucky vuvuzela ready for tomorrow's England game. Seems to be lost in the abyss of tent poles, camping pegs and canvas that is the boot of my car. Got to find it, just got to find it...

I was walking through the park on the way into work this morning when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me; such a beautiful green park and yet I wondered why no camping was allowed?

At the swimming pool this evening, training for the lake swim in the Ironman race (apparently it's open to iron-ninja's too!).

After only one day of being back into the routine and daily grind of 9 to 5 life in the office, and having reluctantly gone back to work today after a happy bank holiday weekend's camping, I was experiencing what's known to a ninja as camping withdrawal symptoms.
