Lloyds are closing branches because everyone is online, and also Garmin watches have stopped working! They've done a Sonos! It's like the end of the world! My watch has not stopped working. It's not one of those new super fancy ones (that cost A GRAND apparently) but it is a Fenix 5, an older model of those. I looked it up I bought it just over five years ago, and luckily it is still going strong. I'd probably have had five fitbits in that time.
Did my run outside again at lunchtime today, all good, two more to go. Then it's Saturday and normal run then of course, but I might take a break on Sunday! Today was my best run of the week, though I didn't put too much effort into it.
Had a weird phone call while I was out walking before work, someone saying they were from British Heart Foundation, they knew my name and obviously my phone number, and also where I work. They asked me to confirm my job title (which they got wrong) and when I said "what, why?" they asked again, and then hung up. I am not sure if it was some sort of scam, or a recruitment agent. It was not legit though, they have scraped my data from somewhere. Possibly here. I'm not very secretive am I...
Elastica twenty-five years ago today. A quarter of a flipping century. It was another of the NME Brats nights I mentioned the other day. I bet I was at that Coldplay one, but I just have no evidence. It's just before this popex news piece from 2000, the oldest one of the professional grey-and-orange era. Then there's a two month gap between that and the newest one from the amateur turquoise era.
Light rain and a moderate breeze, 5 - 7℃.
