Got the bus to Hay-on-Wye from Hereford earlier and walked 9 long uphill miles past Hay Bluff and along Hatterall Ridge. Camping at 600m overlooking Cat's Back. Aiming to walk to Abergavenny in the morning if my joints can take it. Plan B is back to Hay. Up the Gas.

Realised I hadn't checked when Cheltenham away tickets go on sale. Just checked and it has sold out. Probably for the best that I'll have to miss it.

The train gods have decided that they don't want me to visit the Memorial Stadium today. Arguably an act of mercy. After half an hour sat on a stationary train, slowly watching my time to change trains at Worcester decrease to nothing, I have binned it off. Up the Gas.

The clocks should be going forward an hour and just staying that way permanently. I don't give a shit if it's dark when I drive to work. Darkness at the end of work is miserable though.

Varying tones to the signage on this lane in Redmarley, Gloucestershire.

Just about to set off on a train to Filton Abbey Wood. It has been a while. Up the Gas.

Bristol Rovers FC. Champagne at home. Cat piss away.

Picked Molly up from nursery. Apparently she has been great today apart from the moment when she used the edge of a toy spade to try and saw another child's hand off. That doesn't sound THAT great to me tbh.

Having a lovely time in Catalonia.

Me to colleague: "I'm in the middle of something. Give me half hour ish" Colleague (5 mins later): "Are you done?" Colleague (7 mins later): "Just let me know when you can look at this" Colleague (8 mins later): "This won't take long" This is why I loved working from home.

A properly decent but knackering walk today in Little Doward Woods, Herefordshire.

Bivvy bagging on the Malvern Hills last night. Not quite sure how I managed nearly 8 hours of kip in this thing.
