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.
I thought with the Hire car collected, this incident would be closed. I guess not.
The insurance broker contacted me to ask me to complete a litigation questionnaire. From the sounds of it, the other side is resisting the costs, unsurprisingly.
Temperature is mid-20s again. Comfortable-ish walking weather.
Was my mother’s birthday today so we took her to the local Chinese restaurant for lobster and noodles. And also helping the “Eat Out to Help Out” campaign.
Did my walk afterwards, even though it was drizzling with rain (still is).
Reached Day 130 of training in quarantine…. Testing out some new Sketchers shoes today. Comfy and soft, but I think needs a few more walking sessions to break in a bit more.
I came across this article on FailBlog, but it was actually something that hit home quite hard. It’s a thread that talks about grief.
In case you didn’t know, I lost my uncle to cancer in 2017 and sat on a blog entry talking about dealing with loss for months, not wanting to publish it (it wasn’t this entry, mind you) — but I knew that writing about it helps deal with it.
The article on FailBlog links to an old thread by Lauren Herschel, an unrolled version is here:

It talks about grief as a “Ball in a box with a pain button” and the ball fills the box, hitting the button near-constantly right after the incident or loss.
The ball deflates over time, meaning it doesn’t hit the button as much, but when it does, it hurts just as bad, and damn, this is right on the button.
Much later walk than usual today and the temperature has really dropped now, so much more comfortable. Rain has been on-off these past few days so I went out with my cap and jacket just in case.
A lot more cooler today and rain for most of the day. Went for my walk with a jacket and tracksuit bottoms for the first time in several days. Brought an umbrella with me in case it did rain while I walked (it didn’t).
Mid 20s but feels a lot more comfortable. Did my walk, but got caught in the rain. Yes, it finally RAINED.
Still needed the desk fan at home though.
High 20s again today. Went into the office to pick up my phone charger which I left there when I went into the office last time. Even at 5am, the temperature was reading 22degC. Comfortable to walk in at that time since the sun hadn’t come out yet, but the Victoria Line was still baking hot and the stations were pretty dead…
Came back and did my walk around lunchtime, the temperature at that time was around 28degC and my shorts were getting soaked with sweat so I had to change them when I got home.
