Just back my walk. Much cooler out there this morning. Perfect walking weather. Better make the most of it as the rain and wind is to hit us this afternoon.

Looks like it is not coming far enough across the country to have any effect here.

I had a win on the bingo the other night, the princely sum of £3.50, several of us shared a house.

We've had a flat £2 fare across the board for any journey for over a year now. The Bus company keeps extending it but I think it finishes at the end of October. It's resulted in a lot more bus usage, especially among the younger population. Of course we pensioners have our bus passes so don't pay. It seems a more logical way of doing it, no more faffing with zones and destination variables. I wonder if the incresed usage has offset the drop in revenue from the reduced fares.

Went for a run this morning, legs were heavy so I baled out after a couple of miles and headed home.

I'm keen to get back into it, but I'm badly needing to drop a bit of weight first to make it feel more comfortable. With all my lumbar disc/sciatic problems, the old legs probably only work about 60% as well as they should, so carrying extra weight is the last thing I need. I am doing well this week and only sticking to my porridge, sandwich for lunch and my tea with no snacks so hoping I start to feel a difference soon. It's bloody hard when you are post menopause and older.

I went for a run early on. Pleased to say I made it to the bog in time 🙂

That's a national Government initiative and is funded by taxpayers with the Gov' reimbursing the bus companies.
