Blog2021 ≫ Runuary day twenty-three

Feel I've already done this day, as it's also the twenty-fifth anniversary of an NME Brats gig, so have I? Ah, I did, and it's yesterday that was the anniversary, I'm a day out. Today is possibly the twenty-fifth anniversary of an NME Brats gig I was at, it's th twenty-fourth anniversary of a Pavement gig and the twenty-third anniversary of a Travis gig, both at the Astoria.

Did a 10km run in the morning, as I had a little more time to play with. Ran to Hythe, to the railway, then back along Princes Parade to Sandgate. I had planned to go to Orchard Lane on the way back but the queue was huge, so gave up.

Where did runuary day twenty-two go? Looks like I mentioned it in advance, but not after I did it. I did manage to run, with the boys on their bikes. They waited for me at the kiosk on the sea front while I did 1km towards Hythe, then they rode and I ran to Sandgate, then I did an extra 1km the other end, so I was able to meet them at the village store to buy sweets. So got my 5km in, then we walked back, and they were only five minutes late back for school.

DIY all afternoon, I put the IKEA remote controlled blinds up in thing two's room, and then also replaced the lighting in there too. That small bedroom was the only room that still had LightwaveRF lighting, so now it has a normal switch again, and IKEA remote control and smart colour changing lights. I broke the dry liner when trying to screw the light switch back in, but luckily I had a spare. I think the last time I had to worry about a dry liner was when I was putting the LightwaveRF lighting in in this room about ten years before.

We all watched The Goonies in the evening , then Taskmaster, then two episodes of Spiral. Only one more to go!

5k: Five km, about three miles to you.

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

runuary: Running at least 5k every day for the month of January.
