Good morning all.
An early dog walk, and then we are off to join the crowds to support our son who is running the marathon today.
We plan to go to Bermondsey on the train, that's the 12 miles point, and then travel across to the end and meet him there.
It's his 2nd full marathon and has trained properly, following training plans etc.
He is a keen runner, and has done lots of half marathons, and does his monthly Park runs. He says this will be his last full marathon as the time he has to commit to it is too much.
He is aiming for 3.15hrs.

A bit of rain, no wind and perfect temperatures for the Marathon, hope he smashes it 👍

That imo is a very good time. I only ever got to half marathons so I tip my hat to him.

Good morning all..
It’s forecast to be wet with very little wind, it must be my turn to go sailing 😂😂😀.
Seriously though , it is just me going sailing to today as mrs exlaser is paying for her efforts yesterday in doing three races in a day. When we are club racing we only do one.

Happy St George’s day to everyone in England ( am more of a st Patrick’s man myself heritage wise 😀) . Anyone doing anying in celebration ? We are having a St George’s themed lunch at the club , decorating the club house and having sausage and mash for lunch . 😀😀

Have a lovely folks what ever you are doing .


Might go and slay a dragon, if I can find one.🐲🐲🐲

EDIT
But not a Welsh one.🥰🥰

Anyway - not been sleeping well recently
Partly due to builders arriving at about 8 every day for the last 2 weeks and partly due to sun coming up earlier
although the light has never affected me ever before - but whatever

so I have been waking up at 5 or 6 and then not being able to get back to sleep properly - then getting up at 7 or so

but no builders today as it is Sunday

anyway - woke up at 5 something last night but went back to sleep just fine (I know I did becuase of a weird dream which REALLY couldn't have ben reality!)
got up at about 8 (i.e. would have been in time for the builders)
but feel soooooo much better


naturally - it is wet out so going for a ride may not be on
might wash the dust and other carp off the car or hose all the moss and stuff off the roof while the downspouts are knocked off (builders fault but easy to fix) so the stuff doesn;t just block the system
