A sweltering hot day today. And some weirdness with our water supply today. It stopped, started, went brown, then cleared, but was much more cloudy than expected. Can see around 4 different pieces of work being done by Affinity Water in my area with the description "Relay Short Service Pipe" and with "Urgent" on one of them. So possibly that's related to what we're experiencing.

A hot day, slower walk, sweaty return.

Sunny day, not much wind, so a t-shirt-and-shorts weather walk

Late walk today, windy but after a few kms again, it was not noticeable.

Slightly cooler today, a bit windy but after a few kms walking, it wasn't noticeable any more.

A nice hot sunny day, t-shirt and shorts walking weather.

Back to mid-20s today so a t-shirt walk.

Comfortable walking today. Cloudy but not raining.

The Tesco Express I always walk past has now closed until November. Not sure if its for construction or something more serious....

Went a different route for a change and added an extra km onto the distance. Grey skies but no rain

Decided to test the time it takes to walk from the prospective new house to the nearest Piccadilly Line station and see if that's any different to walking to the nearest rail station.

Turns out it takes 15 minutes using two different walking routes to get there, which is about the same time it takes to get to the rail station. The only difference is that the rail station is in Zone 4 and the underground station is in Zone 5.

A single from the Zone 5 station costs £4.70 peak, £3.10 off peak.

A single from the Zone 4 rail station costs £6.00 peak, £4,70 off peak -- so it costs MORE to start my journey FURTHER into London. So why do I do it?

Well, if I cap the journey for the week, I pay a 1-4 weekly travelcard, and not a 1-5 weekly travelcard. Plus, the daily cap for a 1-4 is £10.40, and I'll hit that with two journeys, versus the 1-5 cap of £12.30

Decided to test the time and distance of walking from my local train station to the (potentially) new house, then walk back. Total distance for the loop was 3km, which about the same distance as my normal short walking loop, so that's okay.

Back to being colder and grey again. Short lap, didn't get caught in any rain this time.

Back to being colder and grey again. Short lap, and drizzling all the way.

Decided to go a different route today, to go past a house I might be buying.

Slightly narrow roads, and a lot quieter, but means less likelihood of my car getting wrecked, since there's also a parking area in front of the house. Someone would _really_ have to try to wreck my car using that setup -- they would have to go through a brick wall and other cars to wreck my car with this setup. Also, since this is a house not a flat, I could potentially get a plugin hybrid or full electric in future and get a charge point installed for around £500. But that's assuming my Yaris gets wrecked, which hopefully it won't anytime soon.... :)

Day 140 in quarantine. Wow...

Later walk than normal, but still comfortable walking weather, no rain, not too much wind, a bit colder than it's been though.

Another grey and rainy day. Found out that even though I didn't renew my FitBit Premium subscription, some videos on the FitBit app are free to view, so I checked out one of their abs and core videos. At only 15 minutes it wasn't long, so I thought "oh, it can't be effective then"

My abs and core begged to differ with me afterwards...

Another on-off rain day. Did my 3km walk, and got caught in the rain about half way around. Sprinted the second half.

Windy and grey. Decided (wisely) to keep my laps short. Two laps and the rain was on-off. The third lap, the Heavens opened.

Another grey day, although it was sunnier earlier. Got caught as I started my walk, so my walk ended up being much shorter than expected, since I didn't want to get caught in the rain again, like yesterday.

Grey skies when I went for a walk, and got caught in the rain on the way back.

Oh well, testing my sprinting I guess.

A _really_ windy day today -- even so much as the windows of the house were either being slammed shut by the wind, or being thrown open by them. I even felt resistance when I went to open the door of my room because of the wind.

I still felt I could walk in it.

Temperature is mid-20s again. Comfortable-ish walking weather.

Was my mother's birthday today so we took her to the local Chinese restaurant for lobster and noodles. And also helping the "Eat Out to Help Out" campaign.

Did my walk afterwards, even though it was drizzling with rain (still is).

Reached Day 130 of training in quarantine.... Testing out some new Sketchers shoes today. Comfy and soft, but I think needs a few more walking sessions to break in a bit more.

Much later walk than usual today and the temperature has really dropped now, so much more comfortable. Rain has been on-off these past few days so I went out with my cap and jacket just in case.
