Aka Monday 11th February 2019
Today I walked 4.53km (2.81 miles), which took 1 hour 5
minutes and 40 seconds and burnt through 529 calories and took 6,654 steps…
…and I did the G2 Crossword:
…which gets the week off to an august start with an Illuminati
score (cheating n five of the 23 clues). A little annoyed that I didn’t get
‘babel’ for ‘noisy confusion of voices’, when the story of the Tower of Babel
is so obvious, but I did learn that ‘in camera’ means ‘with the press and
public excluded’, that the ‘stiff cap worn by Roman Catholic clergy’ is a
‘biretta’, that the ‘Ocarina’ is an ‘egg-shaped wind instrument with finger
holes’ and that the ‘light-coloured marking on a horse’s face’ is called a
‘blaze’.
