Training in Quarantine – Day 96

Mixed weather day, some rain, but now its 20degC. Done my FitBit workout, will be heading out for walk soon.

Got caught in the rain, and had to sprint back — still that’s good exercise.

Someone asked me where the station was — which was a 30 minute walk unless you get the bus to cut part of the journey time. They chose not to get the bus and continued walking — in the rain too. And without an umbrella…

Found this in a nearby road:

A bit of digging round, and I found the reason:

A 41-year-old woman has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a 13-year-old girl was knocked down and killed in north London

Police said the car struck the victim and a 15-year-old girl in Barnet, north London at 9.35pm on Monday. 

Scotland Yard confirmed the 15-year-old was uninjured but suffered shock witnessing the collision. 

Looking at the location of the flowers, it is near the end of the road, which leads to a miniroundabout. The road, especially at night, is pretty empty and prone to fast drivers (regularly, we hear cars and motorbikes revving late at night), so my suspicion is that someone drove fast down the road, heading towards the miniroundabout, couldn’t stop in time and hit the 13-year-old square, and missed the the 15-year old.

Training in Quarantine – Day 87

A scorcher of a day. My car is showing a temperature of 32 degC.

Had to dig out my desk fan again, only a few days after putting it away.

Noticed more shops are now open. The local pharmacy is open for customers, but a one-way system is enforced. My local Costa is open for takeaway only.

Several shops have signs saying they are opening soon.
