Day 771


Aka Tuesday 12th March 2019

Went for a morning constitutional, aka my long walk, and managed to walk 10.35km (6.43 miles), in 1 hour 54 minutes and 43 seconds, which burnt through 1,100 calories and took 12,966 steps…and then I did some weights when I got home…beef cake!!!







 ...and it was pretty windy again (although I think the birds had fun):






…I was contacted via email with a job offer at a West End Members Club…it’s not something I’ve done before, the closest would be when I worked at Sainsbury’s, but the skills outlined in the offer are skills I learnt and developed in the Civil Service, so in theory I should be able to do the job…it’s just explaining that and showing that I’m eager to do the job…so I sent in my CV and we’ll see what happens…


…and my copy of ’Wrote For Luck’ by Shaun Ryder arrived…Shaun is/was the Happy Mondays singer and one of the singers (along with Paul "Kermit" Leveridge) in Black Grape...and it’s weird to see the lyrics to songs that I’ve listened to for twenty odd years and to see that I’ve been mishearing them for those twenty odd years…and it’s weird how much swearing is in the songs, which I’ve never noticed when listening to the songs!...and there’s nice explanations from Shaun about what his lyrics refer to or are about, unsurprisingly a fair few are about drugs/getting high/being high/coming down 😊 …a fun read and brought back some great memories. 8/10.

…and I did the G2 Crossword:


…which goes a tad worse than yesterday’s crossword but is still pretty good as I only had to cheat on an eleventh of the clues (two out of 21). I should have gotten ‘tight’ from ‘inebriated’, but I did learn that ‘Montmartre’ is a ‘district of Paris, associated with many artists’, can this great start continue and become a streak? Maybe…?
