We did it!

Hoorah! We crossed the finish line one hour, 12 minutes and 30 seconds after we started and received our medals and our goodie bags (I so love Nivea!!)

An amazing day and such a fab atmosphere. We arrived on the Heath after walking from Sally's (but sadly that didn't qualify as our warm up), made sure we were registered and then chilled for a bit while we waited for the Nivea cheer leaders to begin warming us up. Needless to say, they didn't really! It was hard not to read the signs on others backs - some were heartwarming, some were heartbreaking. Over 7,000 women took part in todays race and it was such a great feeling to be part of that. We were hooted at by passing motorists and cheered by those of our number who had run the 5k and had finished just as we were hitting the 2k mark!

Thanks to dad, Gwen, Tony, Rene, Bert and Marianne, Steve and Nicola, Miranda and Paddy and Jeff who followed us round the 5k walk and who waved us through the starting line, caught up with us half way for a hug and greeted us at the finish line with big cheers.

Thanks also to Malcolm, Emma, Cristian and Wedders (thanks for the Cava Jeff, yum!! xxx) who met us at the pub. Apparently it was the first time that Miranda has seen me with alcohol in my hands!

We're doing it again next year - we've made a pact. And will probably be joined by several of the Mitchells, Rene and Gwen.A very big thank you to more sponsors - David M, John and Chris from Monteray and.....deep breath...... Rene, Joyce, Gary, Nick, Marianne, Bert, Veniece, Maureen, Karen and Tina, Lenny, Abby and Holly! Thank you for such a lovely cheque! x

June and Ron, the weather held out - was a bit humid but we had lovely breezes every now and again!

And last, but by no means least.......this was for you - my mum and Marian's dad xxxxx

It comes without saying that a few imacros and firefox add-ons will automate all actions related to a browser (Mozilla). If you wish to automate your system as such, then you may need another script, straightforward commands can automate your system. Even a beginner will automate things using a simple software called as sikuli all you need to do is to tell Sikuli what to do by giving some screenshots and simple commands.
A GUI will be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a mixture of easy commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it just searches the screen for the image within the screenshot-which implies that you'll be able to use it for anything. There is literally no limit on how you use it to automate things.
This is too good to be true, but if you watch the subsequent video, you may come to know that this is extremely easy.
