No cows

After being completely shattered this week and only having the energy to watch Celebrity Big Brother then go to sleep, I went out for my usual Saturday morning run and decided to take my old route and go and see the cows and horses. Just as I got round the corner from my house, a man stopped me and tried to give me a religious leaflet. I obviously look like I need saving. He must know I watch CBB and is trying to save me from myself.

It was quiet over the marshes this morning. This must be because THE COWS ARE GONE! Where have the cows gone? What’s the point of going over the marshes if the cows aren’t there? Who do I write to to demand the immediate return of the cows? Bah.

Then I got to the bridge where the girl was attacked and, bloody hell, there’s a new big yellow sign appealing for witnesses to another serious sexual assault on 11 October at 5pm. But that doesn’t make sense as the first one was on 8 October and for a week after there had been one or two policemen permanently there not letting anyone through the bridge. I don’t think I’m going to be going under that bridge again.

I only saw four people over there today. There was a dodgy looking man standing by a fence off the track but then I saw he had two dogs with him so I decided he wasn’t dodgy. Then when I was walking up the steep (steep to me, ok?) bit on the other side of a bridge a female jogger came along and said “morning” to me and then just as I got to the last stretch there was a woman walking her dogs who also said “morning” to me. Aah, it’s nice when people are friendly. Unlike the people in the gym who are completely miserable and yesterday when I was in the gym and thinking that they’re all completely miserable a girl came into the changing room and said hello to me and so I thought, hurrah, not everyone’s completely miserable after all. Then on the last stretch a man zoomed past me and then stopped a bit further up and pretended to do stretching exercises but he did give me a smile as I went past him.

So that’s my run for the day. Now I have to do some work and write my LONG letter of complaint to the morons on Planet B&Q and speaking of B&Q, here’s the before and after pics of my new bathroom light.
