Cat hair

I found a cat hair on Panda Car’s driver’s seat. They’re so tricky to remove.

One of you mentioned something that might help out a friend of mine in your journal. Thank you.

I went for a run today. My training plan said I was to fartlek for 35–45 minutes. Fartlek is from the Swedish ‘speed play’ – nothing to do with bottom wind.

The weather wind was getting up when I went out. It thwarted at least one effort to go super fast like optic fibre broadband. I’m sure it did it deliberately ;)

No running tomorrow, thankfully. Fight Klub beckons instead!

The forecast rain didn’t materialise, but it was close out later on when I went to the shops.

They’re closing the road alongside the river from 9 September for seven weeks while they improve our highways. I assume that means they’re going to patch up more of the subsidence.

If you ask me, they need to do more than patch it up, but first do a load of research into building fenland roads that won’t sink and crumble a few months after completion.

And prohibit HGVs from using that road. Are tractors HGVs? They need to use the road, unfortunately, because there’s farms that way. And it’s probably better they block that road than the A10.

Draining the fens was, like many of men’s attempts to control nature, a really bad idea, if you ask me. Not because of the loss of people’s livelihoods, as with the opposition back in the day, but because of the loss of habitat for nature.

Men’s attempts?! Yes – it always seems to be men that desire control of nature. Even the Lindsey Level is named after Lord Lindsey.

I’m not saying women never have, but women are often excluded from the history books, so we don’t know what they did.

I wonder where I’d be living now if the fens had been left.
