Today - continued.

So - went out and did my run.  Went through the no entry bit and didn't get shot by a farmer, although sort of wished I would when I saw how steep the hill was!

This was today's routes:

This was 6.78km, and I did it in 48:36 which isn't bad for me.  I got home had a bit of a rest and then went out to cut the grass.  Kept my Polar watch on which tracks me - here it is:

Hehe...doesn't look like I did straight lines, but it looked good....

It took almost an hour and a half to cut the grass and my watch told me I burnt 500 calories - and just less than that on the run...so a good day!  My feet hurt however!

I was chatting to Lissa via messenger on my phone when one of the cats started meowing - it was Itsy.  The one I said didn't bother bring mice in.  She had a mouse! Poor thing was running away and she was cornering it, picking it up and letting it go again.  Mouse was squealing and obviously frightened to death.  I managed to catch it - and I let it out of the front of the house, so hopefully if the cat went straight back out (the back) she wouldn't find it again!

It's such a nice day today - and although Andy is working from home - he is in the basement and wont be finished until gone 6pm.  Its supposed to be even nicer tomorrow - and he is working in Bracknell - and wont be home tomorrow night.  So we wont be able to have a BBQ :-(  As usual the weather is not expected to last into the weekend.

Morning!

We were welcomed this morning as we came down the stairs with lots of feathers.  Andy said:

Cat Cluedo. We think it was Bitsey, in the hallway, with the teeth and claws.

We couldn't find the bird at first then Mercky appeared with it - throwing its corpse in the air and all over the place.  It seems to be Bitsy that goes out and kills stuff.  Not seen evidence of Itsy doing it and Mercky and May don't go out yet.  Bitsy started with worms - and now it is birds and mice!  She brought me a dead mouse and a dead bird to my bed one night!  Was lovely waking up to that - looked like somebody had a pillow fight with the amount of feathers around my bed!  Once she brings them in and stops playing with it - the kittens take over!

Today is supposed to be a really nice day - first in a long time - 20 degrees.  The sun is out and all I can think is: I'm not going to be able to run in this!  I have no idea how people go running in places like Florida - how do they do it!! I prefer cold and rain! I need to go early before it gets too warm and its already 9.53am. 

I need to cut the grass too - and because the garden is so big it takes me about an hour and a half, and I usually do about 10,000 steps.  I definitely need to do my run before than or I wont have the energy.

Think I will do a shorter route of about 6.7km - it involves going down a lane that says no entry - but I don't think it is private land - I think it is just so narrow that it is one way...and I need to face oncoming traffic so that is the way I need to go.  At least it is illegal for farmers to shoot trespassers, so if it is private the worst that can happen is that I'll get told off!

Can't quite believe that I managed to write all this without the cats on my keyboard...
