Training in Quarantine – Day 45

Dropped an email to the insurance brokers to ask when I would expect to see the final cheque for my car and they advised end of this week, early next. And I then asked about the hire car and they advised I am entitled to the car for another 7 days after the receipt of the final cheque.

Problem is, I can’t get another car right now due to the lockdown, but I did check on Car Wow and Auto Trader. Car Wow seems much easier to use. And I have already got an offer from a Toyota dealer in Woodford Green, about 1.5 hours bus journey away (three buses) and only about 10 miles.

Doing early shopping tomorrow, so only did my 1hr walk today, and no FitBit workout, but should be able to finish this week’s set if I work out Friday/Saturday/Sunday

A nice hot day, no queues except outside Sainsbury’s, and a few at Co-op on the way back.

Training in Quarantine – Day 43

Did the long walk again today, only a few queues today, outside Tesco Petrol station, Sainsbury’s and Tesco Supermarket.

Forgot to bring my earbuds so it was a silent walk around the 5k lap, but surprisingly relaxing. No music meant I was left to my thoughts. Of course, it did also mean I was bugged by some beggars on my way around — they always seem to congregate around Sainsbury’s for some reason….

Wreck 2

Got my first cheque in the post from Aviva the insurance company the other driver is part of. Now waiting for the second cheque from the Salvage agents.

Also got a refund from DVLA for the remainder of my road tax since the car is now written off.

Training in Quarantine – Day 41

Grey skies, but no rain, 45 minute walk, 4.76 km, and no queues at most of the shops. A few people waiting outside the butchers and the Co-op, but nowhere else.

Beginning to think most of the panic buyers have bankrupted themselves, or are desperately trying to shift their hoard, like the guy mentioned on Sky News Australia

Training in Quarantine – Day 39

I’m on four-day weeks now, due to Coronavirus, so did the shopping this morning at Tesco. No queues at all, surprisingly, and the in-store baker recognised me, wondering why I’m there on a Friday instead of the Saturday like I normally am ^_^

Did my 1 hour walk, and the last bit was a sprint as it started hailing. Yep, another wet miserable day, and then, just to rub it in, it turned sunny after I got home….
