Training in Quarantine – Day 207

Had an early start today so my walk was a bit slower, but still did it.

Has now gone totally dark during my normal walk time making it harder to see where I’m stepping — risking stepping in poop or mud.

I got a replacement strap for my FitBit Ionic as the existing one is starting to peel away from the plastic. It arrived yesterday so I replaced it today.

Training in Quarantine – Day 203

Forgot to log this walks yesterday, but yesterday morning the entire area was covered in fog and at 7am you couldn’t see more than 50m in front of you. Within 30 minutes, however, it had started to clear.

As for the walk, it was freezing cold at only 3degC at 4pm so my feet were beginning to go numb, even after only a 30 minute walk.

Training in Quarantine – Day 198

A very short walk due to heavy rain.

In other news, I found my replacement to Revolut — Curve.

Curve seems to be different. It’s not a bank of its own, but lets you put debit/credit cards onto your account and when you use the Curve card, the transaction goes onto the default card you have set on your account. And you can move the transaction from one card to the other (only once per transaction though).

Plus Curve supports FitBit Pay, meaning I can use that instead of Google Pay which has now broken again due to my device being rooted.
