Just on occasion, work can be a good distraction. I tend to avoid it where possible.

Who would have thought?! As did a good run today:The [...]

No iPhone is complete without this essential app. So now I have a reason to go out and buy an iPhone. Actually, I think this is more an app for the men to download.
