So Spring confidently has arrived now and I am getting out and about more. Still having to be a bit careful with dodgy knee but, since last report, have managed another 30+ mins running and just now got back from a late afternoon ride on my bike of about 50 mins. So exercise coming along satisfactorily, even if munching is a bit wayward at times. Also got registered for that free swimming lark provided by the local council. Seems one can swim anywhere if registered locally. So I could get registered in, for example, York and swim in York free. At least I think that is how it works.
Mindful of last year's unfortunate clash with a soldier, on encountering dozens of them marching sullenly along in full kit going same way as me just this past hour, I decided to go off piste to avoid. Rather them than me. Mind you, they actually get paid to be walking in the woods ...
Did not manage to get out on bike or anything else on Monday due to the day trip into the Midlands and another 150 miles of motorways. It gets worse, for tomorrow (Thursday) sees Mrs CITF and myself really off into the wild north of England with another 300 miles of driving to visit family. Dunno how it has all accumulated like this into only a week but there you go. Oh, and we have to drive back on Sunday of course ! That will make about 1200 miles in 8 days. Hmm.
So, a mixture of hotel and family provided catering beckons. But I won't really be able to raid the kitchens ! Ah, woe is me. And a disruptive USA trip is pencilled in for 10 May. Woe, woe and thrice woe. But I just let it flow over me these days.
Gotta dash. Evening meal calls ! Fish tonight and I can smell it's ready.
Back whenever.
