Training in Quarantine – Day 27

5k walk today, lovely weather, but surprisingly few people queuing. Got in to Co-op without anyone in front of me in the queue, Tesco Express petrol station had no queues, neither did Sainsbury’s. Tesco Express supermarket had 1 person in the queue who just entered as I walked past. Only a few people queuing at my local fruit n veg shop, and the one by Tesco Express supermarket wasn’t open today.

Training in Quarantine – Day 26

Short walk, but can’t focus with the wrecked car on my mind….

Training in Quarantine – Day 25

A rainy afternoon, so I went for a 30 min walk. In the rain, since I need the exercise, even if I’m going to get wet in the process….

Training in Quarantine – Day 24

Interrupted afternoon walk due to rain :(

Did manage to go out again after work, and do a short round.

Training in Quarantine – Day 23

Long walk round, and something happened to my fitbit on the route and it stopped tracking, leaving a half complete loop, even though I did finish it. Maybe it was because I decided to run a bit and perhaps the tracker stopped because it could see I wasn’t walking any longer….

Training in Quarantine – Day 22

Shorter walk today — went to check the nearby Aldi. Big queues there. Looks like most people are trying to queue there since it’s cheaper.

Sainsbury’s was no better — big queues there too. Didn’t check the Tesco Express petrol station, though.

Training in Quarantine – Day 21

5km walk, doing my usual 5km run lap, but as a walk.

A lot colder today, back out with my running shirt and coat today instead of t-shirt and sunglasses.

Took me 50:22 to walk 5.03km today.

Training in Quarantine – Day 20

Another 5km walk today, another gorgeous weather day.

Sainsbury’s is closed today it seems, so Co-op and Tesco Express supermarket has the queues.

The fruit n veg store had a big queue though.

Training in Quarantine – Day 19

Another gorgeous sunny day, and a 5km walk this time, 51m 34s.

Queues outside fruit n veg store and Co-op (for the first time)

Tesco Express petrol station had no queues, neither did Sainsbury’s, but the Tesco Express supermarket did along with the fruit n veg nearby to that store (although the queue was not that big)

Did some shopping this morning in the early hours, queuing up outside Tesco Perivale, waiting 45 minutes before I could get in. How early? About 5 am early. 15 minutes later, and the queue extended way past the visible corner of the store and I could not see the end of it.

Training in Quarantine – Day 18

Gorgeous Good Friday weather, went for a brisk walk, covering 5.35 km in 50m 28s.

Queues outside my local fruit n veg, the local pharmacy, Tesco Express petrol station, another pharmacy, Sainsbury’s (about 400m queue here), Tesco Express supermarket.

Trying to find some entertainment in games right now. And I’ve started looking at some strategy games. Stellaris was a game I used to play for a while, so redownloaded it. Got a bit bored for a bit.

Tried to play Planet Zoo. Bought the deluxe version, played for a bit. But when I tried to reload it, it wouldn’t display properly for some reason. So asked for a refund from Steam.

Also looking at Magic The Gathering Arena. An interesting game. I’ve been contemplating taking up Magic in physical form, but this might let me at least get some practise in before going down to the my nearest game shop. Which is in Finchley from what I can find.

Also it turns out they do rotation which means some cards become illegal in normal and competitive duels, and means you have to keep buying new cards in order to keep up to date. Magic, it seems is an expensive hobby to maintain….

The upcoming set is Ikoria, which has hints of giant monster, Japanese style B-movies. And yes, Godzilla is in the list
