Vaccinated two jobs runner

 Last day of March and I have two jobs now- well, the new one involves sitting around doing nothing until the IT equipment arrives and waiting until the contract is corrected before I accept it. The vets one I am keeping on on only 10 hours a week, the new hours kick in in a couple of weeks. Think I'm lucky that the training will be from home as otherwise it would be on-peak Edinburgh travel every week day for 6 weeks or so. I guess the time will come when I have to go to office, but the pubs should be open then so it will be bearable, very central.

Made my 200K a week ago and have been a bit of a lard arse since, though I pulled a muscle that needed resting, this was caused by running my wee route from the Kissing Trees into the start of Kirkcaldy. Ran this about 4 times this month, then walking back along the coast, it's a nice loop and gets me 12K steps or so. Will be a real test to make my 200K target in April as the training will likely ramp up, meaning long walks will be hard to fit in. It will be a challenge for sure, though it might be helped by my intention not to booze in April (similar to last April), might be more difficult to acheive if I get stressed, we'll see how things go, probably need to lose a few kgs.

Cut my Dad's grass a couple of days back, then tried mine but my cutter packed in, so had to buy a new one that I've not used yet, the grass needs cut urgently, but it can wait until tomorrow or so. 

Was through in Kirkcaldy earlier for my Covid vaccination, am due to get second dose in about 12 weeks, seems we are doing better than some countries, outside pubs to open 26 April I think, with inside pubs in mid-May, unless there is a third wave here of course.

Here is a photo taken during one of my wanderings, the other is probaly from 1973 and was sent to me by an ex-classmate who is also in photo.

Off to fridge to have another beer, got to make the most of the last day, though if I'm honest I overdid it a bit yesterday (boozing very high strength scrumpy and beers), been a bit fragile all day :-)
