Morning. Up with the larks, quick coffee then out for a half marathon. Legs a bit weary, but made it. Just fuelled up again with a good breakfast. Overcast and starting to drizzle now so glad I got out when I did.

Pouring rain here and looks like staying. Just as well I got the grass cut yesterday. Calmac have just sent a text to say the Lochaline/Fishnish ferry has a “ technical issue” ie is broken down. There are probably a few damp and p’d off people sitting in cars in the queue.

He has risen! Like an honest loaf of multi cereal in an Aga.
He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

Very, very late start due to very late finish. I was in the company of a dentist last night and only found out as we walked home. Probably for the best he must live a social bus drivers holiday, "can you advise me on implants mate, is it true that you fill teeth whether needed or not mate, can you take a ganders at my bridge mate"? Work must be good when he can afford to take 5 weeks off to "vacance" in his bolthole a few clicks from here, he lives and works in Lille up north.
11 am and its 27c outside but it will be >30c by mid afternoon. Morning chores amounted to making tea then coffee followed by netting bugs and one lizard from pool, 1st world problems.
Dosed the ailing cat with Mirtazapine and injectable vitamin B12 given orally, he does not like it but is resigned to it now. Mirtazapine is human medicine, an anti depressant, given to cats in a dose of 1.88mg it is an appetite stimulant and anti emetic. Renal patients often feel nausea and at times lack appetite. A funny and not harmful side effect is that cats become very vocal for a little while after being dosed. Shorthairs are fairly quiet generally so his talking does not go unnoticed. I attach a pic of this, my favourite cat sporting his royal crown.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Decided on a quick 10 miler before the rain arrived (promised for 10.00)**.
How wierd is this..........I mentioned that for some reason I bonked at 23 miles yesterday. Today I had a PB on my normal 10 mile route. I knocked nearly 4 minutes off it AND I know this is very slow compared to many but I averaged 13.9 mph compared to my normal 12.2.
I then shopped at Aldi and Lidl and am now sat with a vodka & orange preparing for a day of tv sport.
**the rain hasn't arrived yet.

After a week of pootling with wife and freinds. I managed a solo ride on Saturday morning. Was so good to be able to push myself a bit. Not having to slow down and wait for people. Normal service will resume today.
