Thanks Mandy but I think running is going to take up most of my spare time in September and I wonder if it might be too cold after that?

Well done MM! I might get round to trying it one day, so many of the things around here these days.

Dio, really good going, I'm sure you'll crack it this year.

TP, hope T's okay again now, that was a long way for TP to carry her.

Poor little Turtle! Has she recovered?

Had a massage today; the first for 8 months. Had to wear a mask except when lying face down. There were some very ouchy moments.

Poor little Turtle. Hope she is ok now.

Might take you up on the offer when it’s warm enough next year (if the offer still stands by then and I haven’t forgotten:) )

Cuddles, Calpol and Piriton and after 3 hrs she was nearly back to normal other than crying when sitting down! Kicking myself.... We never walk in mountains without First aid kit including meds, but for a short walk in the countryside had just taken water, jackets and snacks. Hopefully she'll be proudly telling her friend all about it tomorrow !!

So sorry young turtle, wasps are troublesome at this time of year - no work for them, waiting to die off, & looking for trouble.

Think it’s morning, rubbish night, have a good day all :-)

Morning all 👎

Another rubbish night with the old tinnitus. Also the wasp sting on my bottom lip was painful & keeping me awake. I’ve just looked in the bathroom mirror & it seems more swollen than yesterday.
Young turtle has my deepest sympathy.

Sorry you both had a rubbish night, David and ferret :(

Sun’s shining here. Better get up and get to work.

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
