Re: Bob's Bits.
Awoke to another sunny day and after yesterday's rest day I was ready for a decent walk. There is a large reservoir at the other end of the island which supplies Guernsey with 25% of its drinking water and because its nowhere near a main road you don't ever get to see it, so we decided on the five mile walk overland and have a look. Although it was sunny there was a cool breeze blowing which made it excellent for walking and after about an hour and a half we arrived at the start of the two mile walk around the perimeter of the lake.Re: Bob's Bits.
The day started with the usual six mile run, thin cloud covered the rising sun but it was quite warm for six in the morning. I made my way down the steep hill at George Road and jogged my way along the deserted harbour with just the odd street cleaners and flower basket waterers for company. Occasionally I've spotted other runners along here but not this morning perhaps I'm a bit earlier than usual. I laboured up Grange Road and where the road levelled out a lady runner appeared coming in the opposite direction, she was very attractive in her skimpy purple shorts and figure hugging tee shirt with thighs like Tina Turner, I suppose they'd have to be, living round here with all the hills.Re: Bob's Bits.
Mrs Fox decided to go to town on the bus and do some shopping, being as I was getting to an interesting part in my latest book I said I would meet her later. I finished the chapter and because It was not a running day I had loads of spare energy, and so it began, 'Man versus bus' I would take the coastal path and race Mrs Fox to St Peter Port. Although I did very little running I did crack on and completed the 4.6 mile in one hour thirty nine minutes, which turned out about three hours faster than yesterday when I was accompanied by the same Mrs Fox.Re: Bob's Bits.
It's turned out very hot today and with no running on a Saturday I had a lie in and a walk into Town after breakfast. Since we decided to stay another four days my medication will run out on Monday; most of the stuff I take is multi vitamins, Primrose Oil and Aspirin, all readily available over the counter. Unfortunately, Ramipril is not but I don't foresee any problems missing a few days. (If I stop blogging on Tuesday I was wrong)Re: Bob's Bits.
Okay, I know other peoples holiday snaps are about as boring as other peoples wedding photos. You don't have a clue who the people are and probably don't give a Monkeys about some obscure resort at the other side of the world......So here are my last three.......Re: Bob's Bits.
enjoyed that Bob you should stop jogging and take up holiday writing! I can't believe you can get anywhere far on those spindly legs! How Mrs B puts up with it I don't know - my commiserations to her please. you're just an endorphin junkie!Re: Bob's Bits.
Thanks Mytle, it's nice to know that someone appreciates my little snippets, and I think Meg also has a brows on a morning......Re: Bob's Bits.
Since we decided to stay an extra four days we had to move out of our favourite room with a beautiful sea view into a room at the back overlooking the pool. Just as good a room but we can't see the horizon, but it didn't matter this morning with visibility down to a few hundred yards. It was still warm though and after breakfast a hazy sun made an appearance.
