Hello gonks. Haven't read back but hope everyone is well.

A long day yesterday but something very different - I was the poll clerk at a small village in Nottinghamshire. Got there at 6.30am and set up ready for 7am. Ate lots, read lots, chatted to the lady who was the other person there, finished at 10pm, tidied up, home by 11pm. The money will come in handy and a good experience. Only 75 people turned up to vote but there's only 270 people who actually live in the village.

Half day at work today, didn't start til 12.45 so caught up on sleep. :-)

Important work, Som! Hope there were lots of postal votes too.

Fab marathoning, GH.

And I found some running tights and wenr out to explore. Now back a my window with my soup.

Well done GH, and for helping that runner. star

Lovely pics ITG, enjoy your pant living for a couple of days.

Hope it's a doc who can help you LG, make sure you tell him that you're an athlete so you want the right diagnosis.

Would love to think I was an athlete : -) . A runner of sorts without a dodgy leg would be acceptable. That’s why I said I would rather be seen than just go straight for a steroid injection
