Dryathlon
A bit of a catch up!
I have been working hard behind the scenes to give the Pixel Chef a bit of a make over hence the severe lack of posting of late. The good new is that I successfully complete the Dryathlon raising £230 for Cancer Research while the charity is looking at having raised nearly £5 million – which is…
Read MoreDryathlon day 30: still going strong
So after day 16 my Dryathlon Blog just stopped. I am very disappointment in myself but I’ve been pretty busy with work putting together several new websites for clients and the last thing that I’ve felt like doing in the evenings is sitting in front of WordPress again. However I’m really please to report that…

Half way through the Dryathlon and I’m feeling pretty good. Donations are just £20 away from my target of £200 which is great!
Read MoreDryathlon day 15: lovely kale!
Just to prove that I’m not spending all of my alcohol free days scoffing chocolate I though I’d show you something healthy that I’ve been eating! Kale seems to be the super food of the moment – lush, green and full of nutrients. I haven’t quite braved juicing it yet – in fact I have…

Who needs wine when you can sit in front of Celebrity Bake Off with your favourite beverage (see day 12) and scoff these!
Read MoreDryathlon day 13: Just run
I’ve taken up running again after getting a lovely new pair of running shoes for my birthday in December. I have been running on and off for the last 10 years since I first trained for the Cancer Research Race for Life. After doing that a few times I then trained for a 10k, again…
Read MoreDryathlon day 12: Love tea
Tea – I really couldn’t go on with out it! In normal circumstance I drink lots over the course of the day – during the Dryathlon it’s been even more. Today was no exception and I enjoyed every cup – from the first one brought to me in bed this morning to the last sat…
Read MoreDryathlon day 11: good progress!
I’m really happy to report that I have now raised £140 for the Cancer Research Dryathlon. I’m really chuffed about this as yesterday I had only raised £20! It just took a bit of begging on Facebook and voilà more donations started coming in. Like last year I have really enjoyed the fun aspect of blogging…
Read MoreDryathlon day 10: A little quiz!
It is fair to say that the range of alcoholic drinks has increased a great deal since I first started drinking (more years ago than I care to admit!). In my day it was beer, cider or spirits and then when I became a bit more sophisticated there was wine. Today there is a vast…
Read MoreDryathlon day 9: wet,wet,wet
What a week it has been. Rain, rain and more rain with some hail thrown in to boot. I could have chickened out of my walk this morning but having been thwarted earlier in the week I strode out regardless. I’ve said it before but I quite enjoy walking in bad weather. There’s nothing like…
Read MoreDryathlon day 8: Zero percent
As I wrote a few days back, last year I bought some alcohol free beer to drink during Dryathlon and it was rather horrid! Well I was out shopping earlier and though that I would give some alcohol free red wine a go. I really wish I’d got someone to film me as I took…
Read MoreDryathlon day 6: Back in the groove
After being a boozy couch potato over Christmas I was back out in earnest walking the lanes this morning. The weather was rather dull and uninspiring although it is still very mild. I took my usual route out of the village and up into Cuckoo Lane. Once again I was disgusted by the way that…
