Gainesville

I have started my nutshell document. I plan to pay for BMMS after my next State pension goes into my current account.

Lucerne

Planning has started. I discovered the Lucerne Visitor Card

Devon (Bideford0

I have booked a guest house for two nights. 7th & 8th February. I have planned my travel and done some research on car parking and restaurants.

Weather

Sun:       Chance of heavy rain from 10am onwards.

Today’s Plan

Sun:       Do a run, maybe 4 miles

What I did yesterday/today

Sun:       I did a jog walk. maybe 4 miles. Basically, I decided to go for a run. I thought that a hilly four miles would be good. After a couple of hundred yards up the slight gradient that is Whitstone Road, I realised that my legs were not working properly. They were completely shot from yesterday's parkrun. I am not the spring chicken that I once was. So I exited Whitstone Road and headed downhill, running when I could and walking when I couldn't, on a random excursion. Looping back  and heading for home,  I was approaching "The Crown" just when I needed a Granddad stop. So, I had to call in. I had to have a drink in order to use their facilities so I had two pints of Carling Black Fruits Cider. It was dark and chilly, and so was the second part of my "run" home.

 I picked up the car, it was parked on Lower Dock Street. I brought it back to the Village and stowed a few bags of gear in the boot. I drove it to Rhiwderin and parked on Zoe & Paul's drive. I got the 9am bus back and got off at Belle Vue Park. I walked up the audiology and picked up some hearing aid batteries. I made a curry today and had curry with a mini naan bread. Also! I sold my house and got the money I moved it quickly into NATSV. I moved some to Marcus too. I went for a short swim in te afternoon (about 20 minutes).

 I paid my Lliswerry annual membership fee, this year it was  £50.00 NATCC. There was one Facebook Birthday (Jean Thomas 😊 ). I took my medications at 08:00 am. I did Wordle (SPEAR in four). I did Pilates (60 minutes) and I weighed in at 11 13, this is excellent news! I got back, had bacon and eggs and made a curry. Today, I was parked in a no limit spot on Bolt Street so I left it there until I was ready to go to Rhiwderin. I went to see Evie, she was shy and sad. She was a lot better when I brought Emmie home and she perked up when Zoe came in. I checked limits and I can move funds. However, this is my first CYNSV move so I thought I would test it with £5. I shall see what happened in the morning. I did a few Duolingo Lessons and I watched the first half of Forest v Ipswich v Forest (FA Cup). William’s Surgery Updates                        See separate fold...
