Wet day ahead.
Off to London for an old pals leaving drinks later. Was hoping I could walk from St Pancras to Moorgate (allowed myself plenty of time), but looks like almost certain light rain all day. Do I walk anyway? Get my walking trousers on?!
Decisions decisions.
Hopefully not so many beers I wake up in Sheffield on the way back 🫣
(not that I’ve anything against Sheffield…but it is 70miles from home 🤣)

Oh yes…& more Leicester Comedy last night. We went with a German pal of ours. 2 barking mad young men telling a story that I couldn’t possibly begin to explain. Bonkers, & yet their intimate audience of 10 all enjoyed it, including our German pal 🤣

Are Strava and Garmin at loggerheads again by any chance? My activities from Garmin are no longer syncing to Strava and there seems to be others with the same problem on the Garmin section on Reddit.

Just caught up with the dance by Lilah & Lewis that saw them slide out of medal contention last night with one slip.
Such a shame - it was a brilliant routine so well put together 😔
It feels like we are destined for zero medals at this olympics….the fourth places are painfully close 🫣

I'm not sure buy given the stupidity Strava regularly exhibits there could well be another falling out.

I've manually added them just now. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

You'll have realised by now I've had plenty of opportunities to break something/kill myself already. I'll decline the chance to add to the list.........

Well, two of my granddaughters, from the same family, have Scarlet Fever. #3 was here all day Tuesday and we had a lot of cuddles and general crawling all over Granddad. I saw #1 on Tuesday evening, she's five, she sat on my lap and read to me, very proudly, from her school book. Then we had a cuddle.......

Hmmmmmm............

I'd offer to go and help but dare not for Mrs P's sake and my own
