Who says men can't multi-task

Lots of Ironman training to do, take Henry for a walk, learn my Optician Awards night speech and get my broad beans in ( yes I know it's late). Last week the plot was under four inches of snow, next weekend it is the Optician Awards, after that more training etc etc.
So how about combining all four. Who says men can't multi-task. I even had time for tea in the greenhouse listneing to the first Cuckoo of Spring.

Microcrystals anyone?

My Ironman training was interrupted at the weekend by the crazy weather.
So, like you do, I went off to the local slopes with my sons and Henry (the dog) for a bit of winter fun.
As the wind swept across the hills I struck up a conversation with a nice chap sporting a pair of ski goggles. Slightly over the top I thought until he informed me that 'the cold can damage the eyes you know'.
If I hadn't have been off duty I might have impressed him with my knowledge of snow ophthalmia. And anyway my youngest needed a push.
