The torrential rain of last night lifted and the sun came out for my eighth run around my local park. Spotted my MP in amongst the somewhat more festively dressed (!) crowd. No Santa hat for me, you’ll be glad to know.

I gave myself a break over the last couple of days. I’ve been up late working on my Instagram data art project Year of Colour (https://yearofcolour.com) and have had some slow starts in the mornings.

Anyway, looks like the break did me good and I very nearly got round in under 23 minutes, so about 45s faster than last week. Progress!
