Trotting about town. Down to the bottom of Leith walk to a garage to see when they will have fixed the van. They have had it 2weeks (they said it would take three days). They have stopped answering my calls, and said they would be open but were not today. Lucy was on he bike with me on the way down, the boys caught us up, a trip to a great portugese bakery on Leith walk, then running home by myself over the seat. Nice. I felt fresh and perky, but Ray asked why I was limping. Apparently I was dragging my right leg along. I can't decide if this is a consequence or the cause of my calf problems.

I stayed a bit later at work as I was having such fun. Solving logical excel problems all day. It's like being paid to do sudoku all day long.

Feeling vaugely better so I thought I'd try running. Through the meadows, through st Leonard's, to the seat and the col then left onto the crags path. Just after the rocky bit 10m in, I wiped out on the gravelly hill, managing to graze and cut pretty much everywhere. I managed to rip off the scabs from a few weeks ago that were finally healing :-(. I hobbled home from there as I was pretty winded and there was blood.

My sadness was short-lived though as I got home in time to watch TdF highlights without accidentally finding out what happened beforehand. Then I looked at the JWOC results. Yay! Megan is amazing!

Still ill. Nearly skipped work. It was a work charity day. Spent quite a pleasant day picking berries for Almond Valley Heritage something or other. This was probably more managable than sitting at a computer trying to think.

New work - sniper training says

1. Run
2. Hide
3. Fight back

It beats following someone in high viz into a communal room. Maybe the banking industry needs to improve its image at the same time as issuing sniper training.

Usual - fever, aches, headaches, tiredness... Blah, blah, blah
