Another two mile hike to get my hair washed

Did another run/walk to the gym this morning. I thought if I packed less in my rucksack then it would be easier but it was worse, it was bouncing up and down and I had to hold the straps to be able to run with it. Fitness First need to make rucksacks with waist straps, or maybe I’ll go to the runner’s shop and buy one. Yeah yeah, any excuse to go and buy new running stuff. But I need one, right?

Can I sue B&Q for ruining my running routine? A routine which, admittedly, consists largely of a phrase containing the words “I”, “bothered”, “be” and “can” but still, I’d be out running more if I could come home and have a shower and wash my hair afterwards, instead of having to go to the gym like a dirty tramp using public facilities.

But I did do gym type things when I was there this morning, including a mind numbingly boring 10 minutes on the treadmill which was about as exciting as waiting for a plumber from B&Q to turn up although it did turn into a 13 minute run as, just as I was about to head for the shower Graham Coxon started singing You & I, so I did another three minutes. I’m glad Mr Coxon sticks to the good old fashioned standard three minute pop song as had Cardiacs started to play Dirty Boy, I’d have been stuck on there for another nine minutes.

When Cardiacs starting playing Dirty Boy last Friday at the gig, I said to Gary this song goes on for nine minutes. He just grinned and said and why not? Which is a good response. If I’d had said that to Mr Negativity who was also at the gig, he’d have said oh no, I’ve got to listen to this for nine minutes? Although to be fair although he said he wasn’t now a fan, he did admit it was a good night out. And he did offer to do the bar run while I was busy jumping up and down and trying to restrain myself from throwing the drug addled lunatic woman over the balcony.
