Morning again. After a drizzly start it brightened up so another 7 miles or so done.

Happy with my position on the Strava leaderboard for peeps in my age group. :laugh:

Ooh, very impressive Mo.
Out of curiosity I just fired up my Garmin Connect app to check the V02 numbers. It says top 15% for my age group, then I realised that if you manage to live long enough you will end up in the top 1% by default🤔 As for my " Fitness age " that doesn't reflect well on the average 20 year old as I'm certainly feeling my age as I bimble along on my runs!

About the same as mine, although I haven't been running much for a while. If I can pick it up again I find it goes up a couple of points.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have Netflix at the moment. The price has gone up to £15.99 a month. It's def not worth it.

I might cancel it and have Amazon music instead. That's half the price of Netflix and at least I won't be paying helping Harry and Meghan earn mega bucks :laugh:

Gosh, that's expensive. I think firms are all jumping on the bandwagon and sticking prices up for everything now :sad: I paid for Amazon music for a few months but found I wasn't using it enough to justify it. You can still get a lot of stuff to listen to with your Prime membership so that does me now.

If it was me I wouldn't bother with the music either but Mr WD wants it I think.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Wow. I have finished all my houseworky stuff and it's only 10 am.
Wow from me too!
Can't remember when I last did houseworky stuff! :laugh: It always seems to fall low on my list of priorities.
Same here, but I think that today I am going to be told to push it way up the list!

I am off to ENT today to see about my hearing. As usual, my head feels clogged up as if I am coming down with a cold, but it is rare for one to actually develop. I am coming to the conclusion that I might be having a reaction to dust mites.

My ears feel like they are always slightly 'popped'. That feeling you can sometimes get if you cycle to the top of a mountain/huge hill and descend very quickly from it.

I know that I have underlying hearing loss which is slowly getting worse, but I want to get to the bottom of this pressure feeling because it is definitely not helping.

I need to buy another set of bedding so I can wash one lot while using the other and then start doing it more regularly.

I also need to sort out the 'stinky dog fur' problem with my vacuum cleaner so I can use it without giving myself worse sneezing problems. It is ridiculous that every time I use it the house smells of a damp dog that hasn't been here for 3 years!
