We got back from our trip to Wales on Tuesday. I just did one run there, but also a lot of walking. Today was back to my usual route. I was in the office yesterday and there were issues with the trains on the way home. I ended up in a taxi with some other passengers that took us to our stop and was paid for by the train company. I may claim compensation for that as I was a lot later than planned.

It has been raining on and off, but was dry this morning. As I jogged up the road a child on the opposite pavement fell off their bike. I did check they were okay before continuing. The rest of the run was less dramatic. I just trotted along without pushing too hard. I was still feeling a bit tired from the weekend of walking and driving.

As well as being the US colonialist independence day it is a UK election. I do not get too political online, but this Conservative government has been a disaster with five Prime Ministers in 14 years and a long list of failure. They really need to go and it looks like they are bound for a wipeout. That is quite a turnaround from their big majority last time, but they brought it on themselves. Labour will benefit, but they have some work to do.  We may even see a change of party in our constituency that has been Tory forever. I am tempted to stay up late to see the results come in.

I would always encourage people to vote. The main thing is to keep the extremists out and they depend on voter apathy as well as encouraging division. We all want the country in a better state and methods will vary, but demonising various groups is not helpful. You cannot blame all our ills on immigrants.
