trapped!
There is peace in the house. John is back at school, Hannah and Joe at Uni and Anne is out. It is a beautiful spring day and I have the conservatory doors open to the garden.
This Monday morning is a morning of getting some work done. I have three places left to fill for next Tuesday’s Trefor.net dinner and will make a start sorting a workshop on VoIP fraud that I am planning for 16th June. Don’t often talk about work stuff on this site do I?
Three weeks to go until the coast to coast. This week I’m back in serious training – pool and gym. I did 30 mins breast stroke this morning and came home to some bran flakes, banana and strawberries. The plan is to do an hour of cardio in the gym this afternoon. I want to be seriously breathless for most of it. I’m in Lincoln all week so should be doable every day and then I’m off walking in Derbyshire with the scouts for the weekend.
I’d like to pull back at least the one last notch on the belt before the coast to coast. Some challenges do lie between now and the walk as I have the dinner in London, UKNOF in Manchester, the ELO concert at the O2 and a few days in Luxembourg at Euro-IX to negotiate. She’ll be right.
Bit of distressing news. Had a bird constantly knocking on the small side window of the living room – just behind where I’m sat in the conservatory. Turns out there is another bird stuck down the chimney. It must have been either its mate or parent knocking on the window.
I’ve taken away the fireguard and opened up the chimney vent. Hopefully the bird in the chimney will get out and escape through the conservatory doors. I’m not too optimistic about the outcome I’m afraid.
Making some progress with OS Maps. Have now created the first 6 days walking as online routes.
Bird update – the trapped bird seems big enough to be a pigeon. I can just see it but not particularly excited about the idea of sticking my hand up and grabbing it. Worrawoos eh?
Went to 18th Bailgate scout Group committee meeting at 7pm. Booked the marquee for Joefest 2016.
