Hello readers, it's that time of the week again (doesn't it come round quickly) it's on with the red (not pink), shorts and light hoody with the clock ticking over to 6.53am and a cool 9 degrees I'm out the backdoor off on another #sundaymorningwalk
Very murky, dark and damp today, so much so the security light pops into action as I pass and walk out of the gate.
 Light rain in the air but I should be OK.
The song in my head today is 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor as AJ and myself both triumphed yesterday, I think he won a lot more than I did though as all I got was an out of focus photo on Facebook😁.
Some early morning tits braving the drizzle along with a trio of blackbirds and a pair of collared doves dart in and out as I make my way to the bus lane heading towards the Winyates way to the lake.
A cyclist nearly knocks me over, get on the road dear and please ding your bell to warn of your approach, not a happy start.
But I soon cheer up as I spot a dogger on the path with his umbrella up, he pauses to wish me Good Morning, I return the greeting as I pass and he continues with his morning ritual.
The babbling Brook is flowing again and I predict it will now until early summer.
Skirting Winyates West to my left I dart under the underpass and reach the lake ahead of me.
Raindrops pitter patter on the huge expanse of water, the drops getting bigger and more frequent, I put my hood up to protect my flowing locks from the rain.
Bloody Michael Fish, this wasn't in the forecast.
100% on the Good Morning front today which pleases me as I walk a familiar route home through Church Hill South and onto the bus lane. Past the paper shop and home.
No smells from the kitchen as I enter today I'm afraid, I'm treating the wife to an Aldi hunters chicken, I know how to treat a lady.
Special mention today to one of my Cockney sparrow friends who has been walking through the night on a sponsored 26 mile walk, I walked with you for a while Tracey Elaine Hart, hope all the training paid off.
Only the 2.5 miles for me today but its something and it's nice to get out and enjoy the #tranquilityofsolitude.
Out on location again next week readers down in Devon celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary (yes I'm suprised as well 🤣) it may be a Saturday walk typed late on Sunday so please bare with me.
Until next week ladies look after your OH and give him a hug occasionally, he likes them too😁
Look out for the new #sundaymorningwalk Facebook group I'm setting up, share it with your real friends and your pretend friends on Facebook.
Have a great Sunday everyone 
Ta-ra for a bit

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again when I make a piss poor excuse for not entertaining you all with a walk.... Well not today!! Im back😁. I choose a big coat and hat as its been quite chilly of late, with the clock ticking over to 8.34am, a joint of beef prepared and in the oven and with the temperature a mild 5 degrees centigrade I'm out the back door and off on another #sundaymorningwalk. It's not that cold to be fair, a lovely blue sky and the sun coming up over the cow shed, remnants of an overnight frost still on the grass and path as I make my way to the woods. A squirrel runs across my path and I immediately started to hum the theme to Mission Impossible, I bet you do that everytime you see one too.  A few cars pass as I make my onto the main road, I look up and there is not one vapour trail or plane to be seen, disappointing to say the least. The amount of rubbish in the bushes near Mcdoonalds is disgusting I bet its the same near to your ...

Hello again readers, it's that time of the week again, so with a nice bit of beef prepared and placed in the oven, dishwasher full from last nights meal with Gavlar and Jayne and switched on, cup of tea and headache tablets delivered to the hungover gaffer upstairs and with the clock ticking over to 8.05am I'm off out the gate on another #sundaymorningwalk. It's quite mild out again today 9 degrees according to my phone but a slight breeze knocks a couple of degrees off that. I'm sure we will pay for all this mild weather soon.  The first bit of wildlife I see is a little white tiger staring at me I stare back a while before continuing through the woods. The babbling Brook struggling to babble after the lack of rain recently is a sorrowful sight.  A juvenile sparrow patiently waits whilst I capture his image.  I here rustling to my left just after the underpass and I spy a rabbit,  luckily for me it doesn't know I'...

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again this time out on location in the capital city of the abandoned shopping trollies Eastbourne. With the clock ticking over to 7.20am a cup of tea delivered to the gaffer, knees strapped up and running shoes on the temperature a balmy 9 degrees I'm off out the door on another #sundaymorningwalk slash run. I'm into week 8 of my couchto5k journey Laura in my ear instructs me to begin with a brisk 5 min warm up walk before embarking on a 28 min run. The route I've chosen is the cuckoo trail behind our guest house, it's relatively flat compared to my run back home but quite boring as I have to turn at Lottebridge Drive and retrace my steps it turns out 4 times. I really must improve my dietary habits the evening before a run as I don't think beer, a half bottle of house red and a 3 course Italian in Prezzo followed by a birthday glass of Moet (Gaffer's birthday yesterday) back at The Don's mansion is i...
