I'm not running in the London Marathon this year.
Not unusual, really, as I've never done it in the past and never will in the future 😂

I will join you, then. Used to run halfs, but my height made that difficult, then I got married and gained weight, went to bicycling to loose said weight after I ballooned way up.

Good afternoon from a bitterly cold in the wind Snetterton. I appear to have dozed off earlier on while sheltering in the car and missed a crash at the start of one race resulting in an early lunch break being called to sort out damage and an oil spillage - couldn't get work out for a while why it was so quiet when I woke up 😂

Time for a bit of potting on in the greenhouse.

Does 'Walkers with poles' raise similar ire as 'Riders in Lycra'?
🤔

With me, in this case "Yes"!

Because it's Tuesday!

Come on the sky blues

A mostly sunny but rather chilly day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well and have spent the day snacking and watching assorted sports coverage. I am now watching some snooker.

company coming, better get off the computer!

Am keeping an eye on an auction for a Tissot watch that finishes in half an hour. If the price was right, I'd intended having a go at it even though I'm not a fan of a watch with an integral bracelet. But the bids have trickling in at a steady rate all afternoon and it's already approaching the maximum I'm prepared to pay.

So it's looking rather like I'll be keeping my powder dry.

In any case, I scored that rather nice - and decidedly rarer - Eberhard the other night, so I'm not too fussed. I think I just might break out the snacks and enjoy the bun fight instead.

A rather disappointing piece of haddock was partly redeemed by some excellent chips at the Codfather on Hastings seafront. There were no seats in the Harbour Fish Bar.

Turned out a nice calm day with a bit of hazy sunshine which turned into full sun later.
Got out on trike for a run albeit a bit shorter than I would have liked but the geography curtails me on this route.
Traffic was heavier than I would have liked and mostly very fast but all appeared friendly with a wave or a toot as they passed. Why so many are rushing towards Tobermory early on a Sunday I cannot imagine.
It could be they are heading for church as I think the services rotate round the various parishes.
A couple of paddleboarders on the Loch which is not something I have seen before.
The photo shows my turning point at the end of the loch as I stopped for an approaching car which can be seen.

Unexpectedly sunny day but on opening the side gate a blast of cold wind saw it shut quickly. Three spells of digging weeds out of the rear lawn and a new load of bread baked followed by a 2.3 mile walk and then the house dusted, hoovered and hard floor wiped.

 

[Reynard]

Well, actually, there were no further bids in that last half hour, and it went for twenty notes.

Someone got a nice buy, though at that price, I wouldn't be surprised if it was bought to sell on.

Right time for the GP

I ran my last London Marathon in 2014, it was also my last ever Marathon. Today I watched it on the TV and managed to doze off in a pretty impressive time 😴
