Little Nemo Mar 2020 11:28am, 1 Mar 2020 10,146 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo Yay! Mine is doing my exercise in a different order today. Normally I go to the gym then get a coffee, do a few miles of walking and get food in. Today I came home to have coffee and toast after the gym. Now I'm about to do my walk and get shopping. I want to know if I'll feel less tired if I split it.

WA: you can buy WiFi boosters for not that much. No newts yesterday, today’s was spotting tiny little violets out on a walk, so sweet

They do this fantastic fly by the house just before sunset when they are going home to roost. They zoom past in a flash of green squawking away, I look forward to it Splitting my exercise wasn't a great success. Coming back home just gave me time to stiffen up a bit and get cold. And I feel just as tired now!

Our signal isn't great at the best of times New podcast today. Not loving it, will persevere. We also had unexpected guests- a couple of grouse wandering around the garden. We get them quite often later in the year, but not usually this early

A comment Fetchie Dio made about my athletics performances has made me think entirely differently - ie a trillion times more positively - about myself and my capabilities. I was in a slightly sad 'Am-just-not-good-enough' mood - and now I'm not.
Mazlin Mar 2020 7:25pm, 1 Mar 2020 8,004 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin I have a new audiobook. In fact I have two, because Audible was having a two for one sale. And I downloaded a new album from Spotify because a review in the Sunday Times told me to. I’ve also registered the dog with ScentWork UK, who run sniffer-dog type competitions, and entered him for a trial in a new level. It’s just occurred to me that I could have taken the opportunity to make up a posh ‘competition’ name for him (like ‘Fucksake Rory Put That Bra Down’ or ‘Ginger Idiot Escapologist’.)
