Now that the worst of Storm Claudia has gone, it’s actually pretty great running weather. Got out for an easy 10K to get through some of the podcast backlog, only had a bad puddle situation in my last 2K. Acceptable.

My Parkrun is canceled today, and so time has no meaning. I guess I just…make another cup of tea? Totally lacking structure now…

Heading to Paris unexpectedly next week, never been before and will have nearly a day to myself; any must-do ideas - beer, food, sights? Conference is near the Pompidou Centre, but staying in Montmartre.

It’s acceptable to go to bed at 7 pm when it’s stormy out, right? Just sitting on my couch in loungewear doesn’t seem quite restful enough…

Sharing to watch later!
This quite haunted me when it first came out, and though eccentrically made almost beyond the point of reason, those summer hedgerows in sunken lanes was the first time I'd had such an impression mirrored by a TV show.

West Country Tales was a supernatural drama series based on real-life experiences sent in after a BBC appeal. Many #folklore elements here! Not all episodes are on YouTube unfortunately

Some painting happening at The Auld Triangle - odd to see it without the mural. Would imagine a new one will appear in due course.

Resolved a 'glitch in the matrix thing, only a year late!
