Significantly cooler and wetter today. Got caught in the rain while shopping, and in my T-shirt to boot.
Did my walk, but the clouds were not promising sunshine.

Training in Quarantine – Day 90
Reached 90 days of quarantined training. Another scorcher of a day. A bit of rain in the early hours of this morning.
FitBit shows 27degC, but a breeze made it tolerable.
Training in Quarantine – Day 89
Another scorcher of a day. 30+ degC showing in the car, 29 degC showing on my FitBit as of 4pm.
Went up to Sainbury’s and there was no queue so went in to get some groceries. It was freezing in there. They’d cranked up the aircon high to compensate for the heat outside.
Training in Quarantine – Day 88
My FitBit is registering 29degC temperature so far, but it feels so, so much hotter than that. Had to use my Asics cap to keep the sun out of my eyes as I walked and my fan has been on almost the entire day.
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.
Training in Quarantine – Day 86
Forgot to log this yesterday. Spent most of the day in the car with my parents, letting my dad drive and get used to the new car.
I drove back after they stopped off for shopping.
The weather was sunny and hot and in the 20s degC so after I got back, I did go and do my daily walk.
Training in Quarantine – Day 85
A blustery, mixed-weather day today. Lots of cloud and threatened rain, but didn’t during my run.
Training in Quarantine – Day 84
Been raining most of the day. A brief respite after work let me get some walking done.
Training in Quarantine – Day 83
Gloomy day, but still hot and muggy with occasional showers.
My hire car finally got picked up, exactly 8 weeks after it was delivered.
Had a moan at Toyota over email — they confirmed my appointment to get the key reprogrammed, but attempted to sneak a £10 charge in, for “a 40-point surface point clean”
Considering I’m only going back there due to a mistake made by their mechanic and paint damage caused by them, I shouldn’t be paying for any of that.
Charges are waived.
Training in Quarantine – Day 82
Mixed weather today — rain and sun. Went and got some walking done.
Toyota contacted me saying they have my spare key (the mechanic apparently lost it after programming it and they needed to order a new one – to the tune of £250 cost).
I’ll need my take my car back to let them program the key, and hopefully get the dinks in the paintwork fixed.
The next appointment is next Monday, so I’ll head up after my daily meeting.
During my walk, the hire car company finally called asking for their car back, they’re coming to collect tomorrow, so I topped up the car to make sure they don’t fine me for not having enough fuel.
