Yesterday was pretty wet and windy. I managed to avoid the worst of it when coming home from work, but I heard it was really bad on the roads later with some flooded. This morning there was not much to see of that. It was cool and sunny with just a few puddles around.

I did my usual morning loop with no attempt at extra speed. I just want to improve my endurance for the 10k at the moment. I would like to be going quicker, but will have to build up to that.

I saw a black squirrel, but not much other wildlife. There were not even many dogs out today. I was conscious that is could be a little slippery in places, so I was taking care.

The old chapel for the former hospital was re-done a while ago and I assume it is apartments now. Meanwhile one of the other old buildings is covered in scaffolding. Maybe the roof needs some work. When I was in New York I could look down from our high hotel room and see some guys putting up scaffolding on another building. They just wander around several floors up, but some did use a safety line at times.

The fallen tree from Tuesday's run is still there. I expect the council will have a few to clear.

The main podcast listening was an interview with Andy Powers from Taylor guitars. He has been building them since he was very young, so has done his time. My Taylor is a great guitar even though it is from their budget range.

The weather looks better for the weekend. That is great as I have an outdoor gig on Sunday and may be at an event on Saturday that needs it to be dry.

Run free.
