Managed to get a reasonable run this morning to keep some semblance of fitness. Sun appeared and only my finger tips were cold.
A few runners and walkers out but no cyclists. One looked completely knackered but she was only a couple of hundred yards from her house so I did not stop.
A very near miss with a hawk which suddenly crossed the road to snatch something from the verge and then turned back before seeing me coming. Emergency stop and I managed to miss it. No idea what it was as it all happened so quickly.
Traffic beginning to build up as I was coming back home. Many cars who never acknowledged me and I did not recognise anyway.
Small yacht motoring up the Sound probably coming from overwintering at a boatyard and heading further north with the calm weather. The marina is still shut so they would need to anchor if stopping which most yachties nowadays seem incapable of doing.
Most marine traffic consists of island ferries and small cargo boats with a lot of fish farm traffic. The usual fishing boats are not to be seen.
If I was still diving there should be good catches of scallops as no dredgers to be seen with no markets open to them.

I did it online this year and it didn't seem as bad as in previous years.

Don't know about you, but the older I get the less confident and more anxious I get about stuffI am such a worrier and overthink all the time. In fact, I've just finished downloading a self help hypnosis thing and gave it a try. I did feel strangely relaxed and calm and actually think it might have some effect so I've also downloaded the sleep one to try at bedtime.
I think that happens a lot to people as they get older, I'm more anxious and less confident now.

10 minutes every 10 years doesn't seem too bad!
I just saw that on the news. Apparently it is because the Scottish government considers that the data would be distorted by the pandemic. (People sheltering, not visiting, working from home - that kind of thing.)
What is bothering me is that I must have completed census forms when aged 35, 45 and 55 but have no memory of doing so!
