Actually did it today, up early to do my daily 5k. The other option was plan to go later when Clare comes back from pump class. The advantage there is I would probably miss the Sainsburys delivery, but there's a good chance something would have come up and I'd have risked missing it, or had to try and do it much later when I felt even less like it. So done for the day. I could get out and do these before work, and maybe I will. Looking back at the blog I did this regularly in 2018 when I first started running.
Thought I'd had a productive evening last night, while Clare was out. I wrote a thing1 to write the itunes database by hand. I don't use itunes, I don't want to or need to, but the Garmin watch does need it to upload music it seems. It is reading the itunes database to know what music I have, instead of letting me manage it myself. So if I can fake this up I don't need to have itunes / start itunes, and can just let the computer sort my music collection out in the background. I thought I'd done it, but no. I can write the XML so it looks about right but Garmin connect is not using that.
After I'd finished failing that I gave Dracula another go. Episode two was a little better, but then the ending was a lot more like what I was hoping for, so I will watch episode three.
Off to the cinema this afternoon to see Jumanji: The Next Level. Then these poor kids are back to school tomorrow, aah!
Oh I must try again with that tip run at lunchtime too as the car is full of boxes.
Burying my head in the sand a bit about the beetle, did nothing about it yesterday but I do need to try and get it moving or call someone out to tow it away. If they can actually get it onto a tow truck, then I don't actually need the tow truck, as it'll start and drive fine. I tried rocking it again yesterday a bit more vigorously but still no joy. Neighbours cars still in the way so I have to be a bit careful.
5k: Five km, just over three miles to you.
