Yaaaay! My legs have stopped hurting after Sunday's session in the gym. What shall I do today?

Go back to the gym and hurt my legs some more!!!!

(It's blowing a hoolie so my bike isn't quite an option.)

Whoop! I've just been "Harked!". Tis Christmas!

(This will make no sense to many of my followers. It's a choral singing thing my friends.)

I have had a fab day out in Newcastle with a dear friend of mine. We've been chums for 20 years and it's just great to spend time with her.

In other news I may not need to eat again for about 3 days (The Dispensary,

Rats. I'm sitting on the inland (wrong) side of the LNER train and was so engrossed in a book that I missed Durham.....

Wishing the chap on the High speed service into St Pancras who had the glorious giant Bernese Mountain Doggo a wonderful day with his lovely pal. Seeing that fabulous dog (who was so well behaved but rather warm) really brightened up my slightly vexed morning.....

Hurrah @themerl.bsky.social The mug I absolutely didn't need but bought anyway has arrived!

Good luck to tbe young lad on the Lizzie Line just now who was nervously (and soundlessly) practising a speech/pitch/presentation.

(I've no idea what he was rehearsing but I wish him all the best. He looked rather apprehensive the lad...)

Had another nice bimble out to Rainham today, mostly dodging the showers (caught a brief one on the way home) to complete another biggie week of cycling. I am quite tired now....

Very chilly commute in. Rather soggy and breezy commute home. A true game of two halves, on the day of the World Cup draw....

I'm sure the Santas I saw running last night are glad it was yesterday rather than today...

Happy 5th birthday to my bike! In 5 years I've gone from venturing as far as Tower Bridge or Westminster and thinking that was an adventure to a wardrobe full of cycle clothing, obsessively checking weather apps for the weekend and getting stroppy if I don't get out on the bike...

Very soggy commute this morning. On days like today I'm so grateful for the drying room at work to dry my kit!

Counts at 730pm - don't think we'll get to 10k today.... @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Back to the gym on Wednesdays and daytime scores! It's a coolish, dry day if still rather soggy under-wheel (careful of the wet leaves friends.).

Bike lanes mostly clear of roadworks (small works just east of Bow Church DLR station on CS2)

Someone has given the kids at the school down the street kazoos.... a symphony of them has just wandered past my front room window. Thank goodness I wasn't giving my presentation when that happened! 🤣🤣

Lovely day today for a bimble on the bike. Went to Hornchurch rather than Rainham today. It's slow going in the Country Park because every dog in East London is there being walked, walking their humans or chasing a ball or stick.

Every wrek I get meat and fruit and veg from Riverford. They often send recipes out with the boxes, and their feed on the Gram is also a feast of recipes.

This recipe was on their feed last week. A traybake of Med veggies and gnocchi, with feta (and olives if you like them)...

My phone updated recently and it turned off the predictive text. Hence all the typos. That and not always wearing my glasses.....

In other news, after a frantic week, I had a lovely snooze this afternoon after my PT session this morning.

Rare outing intk town for me this morning for a gym session. But damp and soggy underwheel, but another few kms banked....

Um, it's awfully dark for lunchtime..... feels like it should be about 330... I don't love this. Even though I'm chained to the laptop today....

Had a grand bimble out to Rainham on the bike today.

Was at Mass first thing. Today is the second anniversary of my mum's death. Fuck Alzheimer's and dementia. Wretched bloody illnesses. Wouldn't wish them on anyone.
