A lame Larkhall Park run for Friday morning. Time was tight and I couldn’t be arsed. Twice around the mounds of Larkhall, that’s yer lot.
I never really got going. I felt tired and didn’t pick up the pace. Only the appearance of the drizzle on the final lap led to me putting my foot down.
I was a poxy one second faster compared to a pre-injury run on the same route back in October.
Small gains.
The rest of Friday was a bit of a whirl with a full on school day in SW9.
Boy Y was asked where eggs come from in a food tech lesson:
“The supermarket.”
STAR.
It was a bit of a chicken and egg situation.
Much of the day was spent indoors with wet breaks and wet lunch. I caught myself drifting in the staff room.
I tried to get my surroundings and remember where the old school building was on the footprint of the lovely new modern build.
I was completely lost. The new building is huge compared to the compact old site. Yet still there is plenty of outdoor space for the students. It’s something of a Tardis site.
Work wise was fine today. I persisted with the f717 camera rather than the PEN F. It’s a great little camera that serves my work purposes perfectly. I know exactly how to get the shots I want out of it in a school situation.
I walked back down Stockwell Road at chucking out time. I heard the Flute Man of SW8 before I saw him. Flutie has actually ventured as far down as the Lansdowne Way end. He’s also added singing to his repertoire.
Album of the Day: Guns N’ Roses Appetite For Destruction
I came close to my perfectly acceptable ALL METAL IS SHIT approach, DO NOT LISTEN. But GNR always had a little more. I’m not sure what this is. All the usual metal tropes are there: screaming vocals, no soul, everyday sexism. It’s only the singles that stand out for me. The rest is just noise. And pretty dumb stupid noise at that. No ta.

The SEVEN week (gosh) Transpontine holiday by mistake comes to a close tomorrow.
Oh dear.
