Long Forgotten Sundays

This one of those almost long forgotten Sundays when it’s gone lunchtime before we finally roll out of bed, when I arrive at the Co-Op to get the very last copy of the Sunday paper and when we take the dogs on the park we find just the muddy tracks of the runners left as today’s Mo Run has long since packed up. 

Then we head back to the house for a mid-afternoon Full English Breakfast. After which it’s a rush to take some rubbish to the local tip before it closes a 4pm. By now it’s almost dark and we’ve only just got up.

Tonight would have been perfect for another track session at the Velodrome but it’s not on as the place is being used for the British Taekwondo Championships.  We head there for the gym instead as I am a member and L can get another five day free pass. Sadly the taekwondo is over by the time we arrive, the track is empty and the coach is sat in the foyer working on his laptop. So we could have had a session... but he says he won't do me a one-to-one.

In the end I settle for 20k on the Watt Bike.

Beating The Rush

So now it’s time to leave 'Glasto' (as the cool 'dudes' call it) and I’m really sad to. A few of our neighbours have already gone on Sunday night and we get up a 6am to beat the rush. However most of the rush are already up, packed and ready to go. Consequently we have to wait almost an hour to get the shuttle bus back to Castle Cary but once on it, they navigate us down another traffic free route and at the station a train is there waiting for us.

We are soon back at Bristol Temple Meads where we have time for a Full English Breakfast before getting the train back to Derby and then the bus back to Nottingham. We are reunited with the dogs by 2.15pm which is actually too soon as the kennels are shut 1pm - 3pm but we don’t realise this and they let us spring them free.

I need to make it up with MD quickly as we’re dog training tonight.
