Wow. An actual traffic jam! All very different London out there this evening. 🙀

My favourite hour of the day! I went off one of my usual “repertoire routes” (is that a thing?) and headed up to somewhere I’ve not been before.

Of _course_ I discovered a strange obelisk along the way, what of it?

This is more of a note for myself than anyone else. Today we had the formal decision to discontinue the main project I’ve been working on. Thank you COVID and IR35! I’m still excited about what I’ve been working on for the last couple of years, so I’m sure this isn’t the last word on me working on sustainability. So I went out early before the presentation for a quick six around the park. I’m preferring grass and the woody paths at the moment t. Glad I did, so I felt calm and together for the meeting.

Continuing my “half marathon per week” plan, for week sixteen (!) I thought I’d run into Westminster. I’d heard it was super quiet in central London and those who’d shared that were right!

Compared to running on Dulwich, where outside our house there’s a constant stream of people, and the park is getting crazily busy, this felt so different. Much safer! Hyde Park was mostly empty, and around the Houses of Parliament / Buckingham Palace there was barely anyone around.

We’re having a bit of a wild time of it at the moment with a house move in four weeks, and the future of my main project is up in the air. So, nice to get out and remove some adrenaline, listen to some podcasts and see some nature. Enjoy your Sunday, folks!

Wow! Going to be a scorcher. Stayed safe by going on some quiet roads, but even then I was having to run in the middle of the road. Walked back through the park and glad I didn’t run it - super busy! Stay safe if you’re popping out today.

There’s an awesome set of Nemone’s Electric Ladyland short mixes on BBC Sounds at the moment. Tonight I went out for a “short run” and after listening to 1800 Seconds on Autism (which is great too), I put on Goldie. No stopping me then! 🥁

But gosh, I’ve never seen the parks so busy. Probably need to start avoiding again...
