Only 8 days left to go until the walk and for some strange reason I’m still unfit and overweight. I just don’t understand it, I’m drinking loads of Diet Coke so the pounds should be falling off me.
Today’s good egg award goes to Gary from Jerry Chicken who has put one of his fantastic watercolors on ebay All proceeds of the sale will go to the Joseph Salmon Trust. It’s too late to bid I’m afraid as it quite rightly sold within the hour. Still, there is always next time.
The man has talent I’m sure you’ll agree.
Not only that, but he has also publicly announced that he’ll do an entire series paintings using photos we take whilst on the walk as a reference and sell those too.
As I say, a good egg. Unfortunately I don’t have a photo of Gary and so can’t honor him by sticking his head in an egg cup like I did for Avitable. I’m afraid he’ll have to make do with this picture I stole from the internet.
Thanks go also to Rol, Ed (Zoe’s dad), and (un)relaxeddad who have all given the walk a plug on their blogs today. Cheers guys. I especially liked Ed’s description of us as “Dan and his Lunatic Fringe” – I’m very tempted to get some t-shirts printed.

As for selling them – my wife hates them, there are none on our walls at home, but then again apart from marrying me she has shown the most awful lack of taste over the past 25 years…

I hope that the pictures from the walk are scenery and not the guys- unless he puts it on black velvet, then it can go next to my Elvis and Dogs Playing Poker.

Gary – You’re wife’s bad taste is our gain. I can’t see how anyone could hate your work.
Arjan – We’re getting there now.
Whit – If he did do paintings of us we could always sell them to the York Dungeon or some other house of horror.

Jo – I think he meant fringe as in the people around me, the other walkers. Anyway I have got a fringe, it just starts somewhere down my back.
