Back to being colder and grey again. Short lap, and drizzling all the way.

Car Accident Update
Update on the car accident that wrote off my car earlier this year.
My neighbour finally got an estimate on the repairs of her car. Hers is the only car that survived the crash, and she got away with a damaged front spoiler. Costs about £1500 to repair.
Total costs the other side will have to foot:
Value of my car (written off): £3000
Value of the car next to me (written off): £2500
Value of the car that both our cars got shunted into (written off): £1500
Repair of the damaged car (sole survivor): £1500
Hire car (45 days @ £75 per day): £3375
Total Costs: £11875

Training in Quarantine – Day 141
Decided to go a different route today, to go past a house I might be buying.
Slightly narrow roads, and a lot quieter, but means less likelihood of my car getting wrecked, since there’s also a parking area in front of the house. Someone would _really_ have to try to wreck my car using that setup — they would have to go through a brick wall and other cars to wreck my car with this setup. Also, since this is a house not a flat, I could potentially get a plugin hybrid or full electric in future and get a charge point installed for around £500. But that’s assuming my Yaris gets wrecked, which hopefully it won’t anytime soon…. :)
Training in Quarantine – Day 140
Day 140 in quarantine. Wow…
Later walk than normal, but still comfortable walking weather, no rain, not too much wind, a bit colder than it’s been though.
Training in Quarantine – Day 139
Another grey and rainy day. Found out that even though I didn’t renew my FitBit Premium subscription, some videos on the FitBit app are free to view, so I checked out one of their abs and core videos. At only 15 minutes it wasn’t long, so I thought “oh, it can’t be effective then”
My abs and core begged to differ with me afterwards…
Training in Quarantine – Day 138
Another on-off rain day. Did my 3km walk, and got caught in the rain about half way around. Sprinted the second half.
Training in Quarantine – Day 136
Windy and grey. Decided (wisely) to keep my laps short. Two laps and the rain was on-off. The third lap, the Heavens opened.
Training in Quarantine – Day 135
Another grey day, although it was sunnier earlier. Got caught as I started my walk, so my walk ended up being much shorter than expected, since I didn’t want to get caught in the rain again, like yesterday.
Training in Quarantine – Day 134
Grey skies when I went for a walk, and got caught in the rain on the way back.
Oh well, testing my sprinting I guess.
Training in Quarantine – Day 133
A _really_ windy day today — even so much as the windows of the house were either being slammed shut by the wind, or being thrown open by them. I even felt resistance when I went to open the door of my room because of the wind.
I still felt I could walk in it.
