Another cooler day. No rain, but still cloudy. Though when I started my short walk, it decided to start to rain half way round.

Training in Quarantine – Day 69
An early start to the day to deploy some stuff into production. A few hiccups but it settled
A cloudy, and much cooler day today.
Did a short walk, and got caught in the rain. Wasn’t heavy, but annoying.
Training in Quarantine – Day 68
1 hour walk today, in 25degC heat, including some shopping at the Co-Op (which luckily had no queue outside).
Chased up Toyota as they hadn’t called me, and they finally called me in the afternoon. They confirmed I had passed credit checks so the backup car was reserved for me.
However, the first choice car was still reserved for the other buyer and they were still waiting to find out if they passed checks on another finance company (Black Horse).
So it seems that the finance is primarily with Toyota Finance and the secondary finance company is Black Horse (which, ironically, is who I had my finance with when I had my Skoda.) According to my Toyota sales person, Black Horse is a higher interest finance company.
Update
Spent the afternoon with Toyota going through different cars and options. Ended up reserving a Yaris Hybrid.
The car I was looking at had been sold by another salesperson two hours ago, but their credit check had failed, so they were running a check against another company. If that passes, they get first dibs on the car.
So I looked at another Yaris Hybrid. Slightly older, but less mileage, and £500 more — BUT, it looked like it had been treated MUCH better than the other car. It had leather seats meaning it’s likely to get extra hot in sunny weather.

Training in Quarantine – Day 67
Did my FitBit workout today, using my Chromecast Ultra. My Sky Broadband router seems very tetchy today and twice dropped my WiFi connection while my phone was casting to my TV, meaning I had to reconnect and recast both times.
And went ahead and did my 1 hour walk.
Training in Quarantine – Day 66
Longer walk today, and somehow managed to trip 5km distance, but looking at the GPS, looks like it messed up and didn’t track properly, showing me literally flying over houses….
Pollen count seems to be high today, got back and my eyes started itching.
Didn’t do the workout — my walk was later than expected due to us watching over a neighbour’s son while they move their things into several van loads (they were moving out, but only a few minutes up the road)
Training in Quarantine – Day 65
Another nice day. Did the longer walk, but tried a different route. Seems a bit shorter than my usual one, so probably will keep the old route
Training in Quarantine – Day 64
Another nice hot day. And a nice walk in the sun. It is starting to look like I might be picking up a bit of a tan from my walking in the sun….
Training in Quarantine – Day 63
Did my FitBit workout before my walk, next workout is Back & Core.
Another nice sunny hot day. A breeze made it a bit more tolerable.
Training in Quarantine – Day 62
Another nice and hot, sunny day. Short walk, lots of pollen and moderately sweaty as a result.
