Janathon Day 9…or maybe Takeawayathon

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 5 Comments

A late run tonight because by the time I got home from work I wanted food! So, after a rather lovely steak and chips, I ventured out for what was going to be a quick mile around the block. Although by the time I got going I decided to go for a 4ish miler (to stay on track to beat last Janathon's mileage). So I headed straight into town and out the other side until I had run 2 miles and then headed back. I very rarely run through town and tonight it struck me exactly how many takeaways there are. In the space of 300 yards I ran past the following takeaway joints:

  • A Chinese
  • A pizza
  • Another pizza
  • A Chippy
  • Another Chinese
  • An Indian
  • Another Chinese
  • As well as 5 pubs/restaurants serving food

This is without the 100s that are on different roads that I didn't run on tonight. For a small market town this does seem a bit extreme, although I am partial to a takeaway, especially on a Friday night, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

 

Today's mileage = 4.13

 

Total Janathon mileage so far = 39.78

Origami Saturday

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 5 Comments

Today you have the pleasure of three fantastically amazing pieces of origami. Due, in part, to a particularly busy couple of days:

  • Thursday was a very busy day. Rushed home from school to be in for plumber. Said plumber did not show up. I hate plumbers. Enough said.
  • Thursday night a school trip to see ‘Of Mice and Men’ at The Playhouse in Nottingham. Good play, bad journey. Broken coach door. Enough said.
  • Friday was, after 7 years, a first time visit to the Shalimar Balti House followed by an early night. Rock and Roll!

 

So from this day onwards the 10th November will be forever known as ‘Origami Saturday’. With the aid of some specially purchased origami paper from Amazon for the princely sum of £3 (hence why it is only small me thinks) may I present #origamisaturday……

Origami #8…turtle or maybe a tortoise….

Origami #9…crane or maybe a dragon…

Origami #10….a very cute cat….
