Out Bricked

Take the car and avoid the A52 road works by going through Ilkeston. The radio confirms that the road works are in place and say that there are even diversions preventing people going onto the A52 from the M1 junction to ease the load on Bardill’s roundabout. The radio people drove all the routes and through the road works at 7am this morning (during the Easter holidays) and announced it is all working well! If they try the same test at 8am on Monday they might get a different result.

L’s been for a swim which she describes as ok but her rib injury makes getting in and out of the pool, and in and out of her costume, painful. Well I’m always willing to help a girl in or out of her costume; she only have to ask.

Pub today and I was very healthy. Braised steak, mash, peas, carrots and broccoli. Local brew for refreshment from Deventio.

Odd situation at Luton. Mike Newell accuses people of making payments to agents. Newell sacked. His Chairman resigns. Chairman admits to giving making payments to agents!

Even odder, Mr Chairman is to appoint Kevin Blackwell as your parting gift. Hello relegation.

Get home and I’m not sure whether to redo my Tuesday night run with the dog tonight or not. He looks up at me in trepidation. I think perhaps he’d rather go with L. In the end the pair of us do a loop of the pond and then meet L by Wollaton Park lake. Only one of my legs appears to be working, which isn't a good sign. The three of us then loop the lake and return home. L, typically, has to out 'brick' us and does a turbo training session and then another run. We are not worthy. We are asleep.
