Saturday I did not run again.

I was up early to go to the tip, this went well, I recycled all of the packaging from the bunk beds, the new TV, the printer, and more, so the house is a bit easier to move around. Then was going to go on a long walk with a friend but this was cancelled so I got on with repairing the new bunk beds. A bit of glueing and clamping into place, and then getting Clare to help to put the final screws in and the bunk beds are now solid again. The boy slept in them again last night, and he's well happy. He does not like me referring to it as an eyrie, I thought he'd like this. He has a toy eagle and I thought it would be a fun name for his new high sleeper, but he's not having it, only an eagle sleeps in an eyrie. We might have settled on tree house. He's very pleased with it anyway. I even loaded up all the shelves with all of his books and it hasn't even fallen down again yet.

After that I spent so long putting this new IKEA basket / shelf thing up that it started to get dark before I could go out for a walk. I was watching Portsmouth play on the iplayer as I was working, but needed to get out and try and walk or run some Strava art for this work exercise challenge. I took a few wrong turns so failed a bit in my attempt but you can see what I was trying to do.

Clare did a lot better during her 10k run today. I ran today, but not in any particular shape, just the long way to the shop, and then back again, so about 8km.

After that some more DIY electrics, had to replace the socket in the room with the bunkbeds to make it less smart. There's only one socket and we have to share it with a clock now, so it can't be remote controlled in case it gets turned off, so back to old style socket.

Now got washing and ironing to do, ready to start another week. Tea will be baked potato and chilli beans for a bit of a change. Last night was very good actually, we had Luben pizza delivered. Got 20% off by using their app, don't mind that at all. Was much better than the Market Square one we had recently that we still talk about for the wrong reasons.

Life is actually moving at a fairly tiring pace at the moment despite all this lockdown nonsense. Am I on top of my christmas shopping? Maybe. Bought more things today.

Have not made any dinners for next week as Clare is off.

Ah final news, before I clear the ironing and change the beds and then think about relaxing. There's a coronavirus case at the primary school, so I think a year are being sent home to isolate, not us though. Also swimming is back on next week.

5k: Five kilometres, just over three miles to you.

10k: Ten km, just over six miles to you. Sometimes talking about 10,000 steps though, an arbitrary daily step-count target.
