Sometimes Stalled

Up and slowly at it, Breakfast, salad lunch, coffees, supper as steak in a bun.

Evening walk round the village. Normally at work I’m doing 3-5 miles a day, Today’s 3.3 miles was the longest I’ve walked since mid-March. Must get out more before the trousers really don’t fit. In fact, it’s the first time I’ve been round the park since the night I took Kerry on her last walk. I have had dreams about having another dog, so see how it goes over the summer.

More done to the Magnum Opus, with encouragement from the guy I report to, so see if that makes a difference.

The usual despair over our leadership and that across the pond. I’m waiting over here for the second wave, and over there for the hope that it doesn’t result in Civil War. I’ll not comment any more tonight, save to say that I’ve seen posts from the same individuals condemning racism in the States and condoning keeping immigrants out of this country because of their faith or colour. And they are the same argument,

A tour round the village this evening. Credits: Noggin (almost), Dennis Moore and a whale. You have to be a certain age to get the references.
