Taken In Hand

I just about timed it right on the bike and avoided the worst of the rain. It was bright and sunny when I left but the rain chased me all the way to Derby.

L enters the Dirty Dash at Holme Pierrepont. I shall come and watch that, it was great fun last year. I’ll even offer to hose her down afterwards. 

Tonight though it's not hoses that are required but duct tape. She asks to be taken in hand and suggests those sorts of measures. Sounds like quite a night.

She is referring to her inner plague of locusts, if you follow, So I ban her from the kitchen, I’m cooking tonight, but she heads off to the gym for an hour anyway because there's nothing to eat there. When she gets home I escort her straight to the bedroom, nothing to eat there either.

Recently Reacquired Mojo

We had contemplated a Lakes trip this weekend but decide to skip it as we might be going at New Year. L wants to decorate and do the Holme Pierrepont Dirty Dash. Her recently reacquired mojo keeps dragging her to these things. 

I suggest that, as the Dirty Dash starts at noon, she could do a 9am Parkrun first? She doesn’t seem struck on the idea, only a psycho would do both. Actually, I'm sure a psycho would run from one to the other.

The Dirty Dash turns out to be far dirtier than imagined but more fun than I thought. At least from a spectators point of view, I'd hate to have been running it.

Derby lose at Leeds but still stay top. This ends a run of twelve games unbeaten against them but then it had to end at some point.

We again spend the evening in the Horse and Jockey.
