Morning!

Lyrics: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Tobias Willcock
Welcoming you aboard Coconut Airways Flight three-seven-two

What: nothing beyond a few stretches

Why: being careful with the hamstring. Plus work shortly.

Another line from the song shows how times have changed: Kindly fasten you safety belts and refrain from smoking until the aircraft is airborne...

Know the lyrics but can't name the song.

I have actually never been in an aircraft where smoking was permitted. Certainly recall a few smoky buses and smoking coaches on trains.

Rest day for me today as far as running is concerned. May do some Pilates. No sign of wind that was predicted yet.

Good morning 😀

Lyrics: No.
I've flown on planes with smoking sections including one (Tarom, 1988) that had smoking seats all the way down one side of the plane and nonsmoking seats all the way down the other.

What: 60 minutes easy and planting some tulips and some unlabelled bulbs that I think might be fancy daffodils.
Why: Marathon training and on a roll with the garden after getting most of the bulbs planted yesterday.
Last hard: Tuesday.
