Blog2023 ≫ Venice Parkrun again

Got absolutely soaked this morning, but at least I got up and did it. Nearly did not head out, and then when I did head out I nearly didn't get out of the car. It was absolutely booting it down. A good turnout though, I must get back to regular parkruns. It was a slow trudge round, cold as well as wet, not the most fun.

Last time I mentioned Venice Parkrun is one of my more popular pages on here, according to Google. I don't have monitoring or stats on here any more but Google knows everything and sends emails saying what my my most popular page is this week. It does have quite a lot of content on there really (and it's in the old style, a treat for you if you're missing it), covering all the topics. Probably it's people looking for an actual Parkrun in Venice though. Oh, looks like the third time I've said this now.

I went out last night, to the Potting Shed. I suggested The Ship to my friend but he'd been in the week and didn't think it worth going back to. He suggested the East Kent Arms, which would have been good but I didn't have much time. This was a Friday like we used to do, I had to be back at 8pm so Clare could go to work for her night shift. We settled on The Three Mariners in Hythe, but as I started raining I suggested we just pop in to the Potting Shed... this would have been my first choice all along but I didn't want to push it. And then the beer was good and the company too so we stayed. Got a taxi back just in time to tag Clare.

Boys are going round Grandpa's today, I have to creep quietly round the house. I might go to some sort of farmer's market in Hythe.
