I decide to run 10 miles today and all went well clocking up 10.32 miles. chilly wind but i soon warmed up. Similarly long route as previously taking in steep hills so finished up with 810ft elevation. No mishaps but tittered towards the end. Notified today that the Chilham Castle Duathlon I am entered in […]
We arrived for our 8.00am shift yesterday to find that Dr PeterH had designed a new way for patients to rest once they had had their jab. Being Pfizer vaccine 15mins rest before leaving is compulsory. To save people sitting in a crowded room a snail shaped route was marked out in the waiting room. […]
Our third day this week starting at 1.00pm at Blackthorn. Strange time of day to work but it was warm and sunny. Once again just 30 per hour today as there is the need also for 15 mins rest after the Pfizer jabs. They want of course, to keep the waiting room as clear as […]
I found some time this morning to do a couple of jobs at home. First priority was my bike. After I cleaned it after my long ride on Wed I noticed a couple of gears weren’t setting properly so I decided to try and adjust the mech ( that’s a technical term) without knowing what […]
Yesterday I did my ride with MikeD. We went to Hawkhurst, bought a coffee and pan de chocolate in Tescos and sat outside in the glorious sunshine. All went well and even Mike had a smile. On the way back to Brenchley we went through Bedgebury forest via the Park Road. I remembered it was […]

International travel will not be permitted until at least after June 21st. Unfortunately, Spain are indicating no travel to Spain until they have herd […]

A glimpse of Spring has arrived. Some sunshine and a rise in temperatures today has seen people, including me, in their gardens. The sound of lawnmowers has also been heard locally from some neighbours gardens! I took the opportunity to tidy up a bit outside and was great to have a chat, socially distanced of […]
Yesterday was a rather sedate day doing rotas and working on the computer. However, I did get out to do my 2nd run of the week as a practice for my April challenge as part of our Rotary Club’s, Great Home Run. This is to get as many people active in our local community during […]
Since the thaw a few days ago it hasn’t hardly stopped raining. I have managed one run to practice my Mt Everest equivalent run in April for our Rotary charity event. I ran up and down the 17% gradient Old Loose Hill 5 times two days ago. I had originally calculated that four climbs a […]
