		<description><![CDATA[or even&#8230;yay&#8230;as my daughter would say. Watford Half Marathon- we conqurered it. Well, in 1.47 min which was some distance from the winner who did it in about 2 seconds. But at least my toenails haven&#8217;t fallen off, I can go downstairs without agony and I didn&#8217;t go anywhere near a wall. So all&#8217;s looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[well its back on the relentless road for 26.2 miles of pain&#8230;having madly submitted Mr Millard and myself for Paris on April 11 its now just a question of holding on until April 12 and then dying gracefully.

		<title>Why Paris just looks better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know Le Monde has just described it as &#8216;Un musee/ville&#8217;, which is hardly complimentary, but where else can you run up the main boulevard BEFORE DAWN and find uniformed road men sweeping and washing the pavement, as I did up the Champs Elysees last week? Compared to the rabbit&#8217;s hutch that is Oxford Street, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day Seven!! at last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What shall I do tomorrow? Go and spend £6 on a coffe and muffin at my favourite cafe? Go to the gym? Read the New Yorker? All of the above? Having been denied all of them for the past seven days, I feel like going on a bender. It&#8217;s been very difficult to stick to [...]]]></description>

		<title>it all depends whether you are alone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think if you are a pensioner on your own, its jolly difficult. By the end of the week I have been longing to go out and socialise. And I have a husband here, and as we all know, lovin&#8217; is free, is it not. But if you are solitary, then having £34.17 only is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why don&#8217;t we rethink pensions?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well I now have about a tenner to last me until Sunday. It&#8217;s OK because I have lots of veg and a stew, but what if something untoward happens? Not a disaster, because the state will (hopefully) pick up the bill if that is the case, but just a little event. Today I smashed a [...]]]></description>

		<title>It all depends what sort of pensioner you are</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had a few criticisms about my outing last night &#8211; along the lines of &#8216;most pensioners can&#8217;t go out for champagne and canapes, you know.&#8217; Hang on, though. There were quite a few over 60&#8217;s at the BFI last night including champion Oldie Joan Bakewell. And although Dame Joan is hardly representative, there are quite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yes! I&#8217;ve had some proper food and wine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hoorah. Just when I was desparing of never having anything to eat but pumpkin soup on my budget, along comes a friendly award ceremony. The Grierson Documentary Award, to be precise. Hosted by Andrew Marr with lots of amazing films, interesting people and yes! delicious supper. Plus bubble. Very good indeed. Have spent only £10 [...]]]></description>

		<title>living on a pension</title>
		<description><![CDATA[yes well I am trying an experiment for a week &#8211; I&#8217;ve been asked to do this alongside various other people including an MP. Looking forward to see how THEY cope with no expenses allowance he he. After my allowances for water, heating etc however my pension has SHRUNK to precisely £34.17, for seven days.
