Nine hundred and fifty English pounds for a smart watch now. £949.99 to be precise. What. The. Hell!? My ancient Garmin refuses to track heart rate and VO2 Max now, but srsly. I’m not replacing it at that price. Oh, sorry, only £880 for my tiny wrist.

Another joyous run this morning celebrating “National Helen Day” (apparently) yesterday. Could have painted my own lines around the track, too. 🤩

Sometimes a run is perfect. Beautiful sunshine, cool breeze, all my mates on the sidelines to greet me 😄, no aches, smooth pace, easy breathing 💯. @bangpodcast.bsky.social and @thebritpopshow.bsky.social carried me along. Recommended! Good morning Sunday!

Well. That was EXCELLENT. All with a running commentary from the little one on who is who and who does what in Minecraft. So I’m educated as well!
