Decided to do my Fitbit workout before my walk today. Meant I was already feeling hot when I started my walk and today was reasonably warm, so by the time I finished, I was sweating again….
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….
Training in Quarantine – Day 42
Long walk today. Queues were back. Pharmacy, Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s all had relatively long queues. Sainsbury’s being the longest. Guess I spoke too soon when I said the panic buyers had bankrupted themselves….
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 40
1 hour walk today, no rain luckily, and very few queues in the shops. Butcher had a queue of 1 and the fruit n veg had no queue when I walked past but had a reasonably sized queue when I came back.
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….
Training in Quarantine – Day 38
Today was almost totally raining, but stopped just as I finished work, so I got in a 30 minute walk. I was contemplating going around for another 30 minute lap, but the looming black clouds were not promising.
A few minutes after I took shelter in doors, the skies opened up again….
Training in Quarantine – Day 37
Another pouring rain today, so no walking at the usual time, just my FitBit workout at 26 minutes.
However, soon after I finished my workout, the rain stopped so I went and did my 3km walk.
Training in Quarantine – Day 36
My car was picked up and the salvage agent drove off into the distance in the pouring rain….
He drove out with fuel leaking from my car as he drove the card hard up against the van’s ramp and it made lots of scraping sounds as he was trying to force the broken bits of my car up the ramp too. The ramp was wet, so also lead to my car’s wheels spinning.
He tried to avoid signing the V5C, saying the office would sort it but I insisted he sign (I can do the SORN online, but would rather have something in writing in case).
I did the SORN online (https://www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle if you’re curious) and got the confirmation from the DVLA that I’m no longer the owner of the vehicle, but will get a letter in the post. I still have the Section 9 from the V5C but will not need to send it apparently.
The pouring rain continued throughout the whole day and after I finished work, so no after-work walk as I normally do and have been doing every day after work.
I did do my FitBit workout though. 29 minutes today.
