and blister
Only a small blister mind you. I did a longer walk this aft – 1hour 50 mins or so around lincoln – 5.44 miles. I need to step up the distances but this one wasn’t bad. My left foot was giving me gyp and upon reaching my destination, ie home I found a blister on one of the toes.
I did take the insole out to check the fit but it does seem to be the right size boot for the foot, ish so I guess it’s just a question of keeping at it, wearing in the boot and hardening the foot. If I can maintain this rate of exercise it bodes well.
The MyFitnessPal app suggests that at this rate I will shed 10Kg in 5 weeks. It doesn’t realise the 6 nations rugby season is fast looming but there’s a fighting chance I can do this. The point is to grow my fitness levels ready for the Snowdonia week at Easter and thence the coast to coast.
This morning I finished off the Airbnb entry for campervan Betty, for now at least. We will find out in due course if we’ve got it right. Also started the User Guide for Betty – the manual for hirers. Will need to use it myself first before I can properly finish the guide.
The process sorting my books also continues. It’s a job and a half, and very dusty. I’m constantly emitting loud sneezes. I don’t know how on earth we fitted all the books into the bookcases we had before I bought the new biggie. Even with the extra shelf space I’m struggling to fit them all in. Whereas I thought I’d fit A-M in one side of the fiction bookcase in the TV room I’ve now had to shift L and M to the other side. The fiction will be OK. It’s what to do with the ad hoc stuff – quiz books etc. Don’t worry. I’ll get it sorted.
Did a big run to the tip this morning. Mostly miscellaneous old paper plus a load of electrical stuff stored unnecessarily for years in the attic. I’m never going to need those dial up modems again anyway! The clearance of the attic is progressing well. We are at the point where John can move his man cave stuff in. I’m going to give Darren the plasterer a shout. The attic is dry lined but it’s just bare plasterboard. Plastering the space will cut down on the draughts big time. Not that it’s that bad.
