Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over
Pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys
Give them thumbs,they make a club
To beat their brother down
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven,conscious of his fleeting time here
The Pope looking like he is singing into a microphone

I wish I was more adaptable to running later in the day. Look at this weather now! 0°c and glorious sunshine.. how much nicer would that have been, instead of freezing my ass off in minus degrees in the dark 🙄

On the right-hand side of the road, the trees are still carrying autumn coloured leaves.

That was a bit nippy!
Clear and starry sky. Solitary 7km, no people, no animals, not a single car passed.

Doing our best! They're very thin so definitely need at least 3 to feel equal to 1 of those chunky choc chip cookies. At least!

Might need the rennie later though they're sickly sweet 😂

2nd tray marginally better.
(Too much mixture in each scoop on 1st tray)

10/10 for taste though 👌🏻

Not quite sure how it's even *possible* for these to go wrong but there we are. Spot the difference 😌

So... my pain is *just* outside that taped area.
Are you supposed to put the tape like you have, over the centre of the foot / arch, or actually cover the bit that hurts?

2. Have you seen the ticket prices? 😦

15km slow and hilly forest route.
Last week was 90minutes, so this week's goal was 1hr45 mins, running for time, not distance. But then the 15km was so close i had to keep going another 5 minutes to get it.

WFH has many advantages, one of which is starting work very early so that I can take a break 2 hours later and run in daylight. Much preferable to the 4am run club on office days! Managing to coordinate WFH days with run plan is working well 🤞🏻

Not just ferries with Grayling, either:
Introduction: Failure Chris Grayling had to move quickly. It was early 2013. After years climbing the Conservative party ranks, he'd finally secured a senior ministerial post. He was the secretary of state for justice. It was the kind of position from which anything was possible: home secretary, foreign secretary, even prime minister. But to do that, he had to accomplish something eye-catching. It didn't strictly matter what it was. It didn't even really matter whether it worked or not. The project could fall apart in five years if needs be. By then, it would all be a distant memory, largely forgotten in the grandeur of a new department. What mattered was that it captured the prime minister's attention today. The main imperative was that he acted swiftly. Ministers operate on a tight time frame. Typically they stay in position for around two years before they're shuffled off, either downwards towards the ministerial dead-end jobs, or upwards to the soaring heights of British public life. If they're lucky, they get three years; if they're unlucky, they get six months. Then the merry-go-round starts again. There was an election coming in 2015, so at most he had a couple of years. But Grayling had a handicap. He suffered a particularly acute form of it, but it wasn't unique. It's a handicap faced by almost all ministers. The handicap was that he didn't know what he was doing. He'd demonstrated no previous experience of the criminal justice system. He'd shown no evidence of having studied it, or worked in it or researched it. If he had any expertise at all, it was in TV and public relations, which he used to work in before running to be an MP. At no stage in his political career had anyone asked him to demonstrate deep subject knowledge in any area, let alone criminal justice. They hadn't asked for it when he ran to be selected as the local Tory candidate, or when he contested his seat at the general election, or when he was appointed to Cabinet. So without any expertise or experience, Grayling made a decision. He would privatise probation. He would burn the existing probation model to the ground and start again from scratch, using market mechanisms. In the years to come, this decision would cause misery and suffering on an extreme scale. People would die who might not otherwise have died. Probation workers would have their professional lives ruined. Hundreds of thousands of offenders would be released from jail without support or meaningful supervision. And a key section of the British state, tasked with keeping the public safe, would collapse into total chaos. 'He delivered,' says Richard Garside, director of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies. 'He absolutely delivered on what he was going to do. And it was a complete disaster.' No one talks much about probation. Many people don't know what it means. Most MPs have no idea how it works. It doesn't trigger the same level of public interest as the NHS, or education, or policing. But it is one of the key pillars of criminal justice, dedicated to 4 hrs 38 mins left... 1%

Base builder for time on feet. 90 minutes trail out in the woods and across the fields. Visibility was low for most of the way round . The bane of a glasses wearing runners life! Need those novelty glasses we got as kids, with the windscreen wipers!

Several milestones to be hit before he actually gets it. Unless he gets them to change the conditions, of course. (Likely, down the road)
20m cars? In 9 years they've sold around 7m.
1m robots? They don't even have *1* that works.
