Still a runner in my 60s
The passport of shame has arrived. Here it is next to my lovely wife's lovely EU/Irish one. Yes I am envious.

I'm not buying anymore. Well maybe a steel. And a cello.

#garmin #beatyesterday how my running buddy and managed to make ourselves do this I just don't know. You can only get so wet I suppose.

On the stand this week, a bit of Venezuelan from the grade 8 syllabus

BBC Symphony Orchestra at The Anvil theatre in Basingstoke tonight. Excellent Brahms violin concerto and Beethoven Symphony no.4 after a 10 minute bit of modern toss. Or interesting textural piece if you prefer.

Terrible phone picture but at least 8 long tailed tits descended on the bird feeder seconds after I filled it yesterday

By coincidence I've just an hour ago been ogling that or similar - Ibanez Artstar in Tobacco brown (maybe slightly darker than the one pictured).
I do not need more guitars

Got these in Waitrose yesterday and they're both fantastic. Brewed in Hackney of all places

I replaced this and it doesn't leak.
Or as my friend Mark said, it doesn't leak YET.
I am really not very practical so it's a miracle. Even cut a pipe to the right length first time.
Did try to wash silicone off my hands before attaching the pipes though.

Pretty pleased with today's effort. As ever I'm mystified at how much my pace has dropped over the years but I'm almost accepting it now as long as I can keep trotting round

I really should call a plumber but I'm going to replace this lot myself or at least attempt to. However, I removed the leaking bit three days ago and got all the replacement bits on Wednesday...

The Cascade at Virginia Water yesterday. And some fungus.
And I got round the lake (walking) before the rain got properly going

Pleased enough with that.

#garmin #beatyesterday a bit of a better effort today in near perfect weather for me. I don't usually run on Wednesday but tomorrow looks appalling.

Definitely lacking a cello. Perfect weather for learning to play the cello.

Swinley Forest in the brief spell of sunshine on Saturday

The slowest 5k I have ever recorded, also up there among the wettest. That deserves at least 3 pints of London Pride.

A few weeks ago the garden looked quite pretty. Not a big fan of winter

Me enjoying the panto at South Hill Park Bracknell with the grandkids

A few pics from Glow at Wisley RHS gardens last night. Well worth a visit if there are any tickets left

At least the last mile was a good blast downhill. What a bleak evening.

Longest run since Maidenhead half five weeks ago, I only do easy pace runs nowadays.
Even now, two days away from my 64th birthday, I struggle to reconcile myself with getting so much slower.

Down at the Witterings last week. Windswept to say the least.

Maidenhead half this morning, just the 32 minutes slower than the first time I ran it but very happy to get round a half these days.
