So this morning was supposed to be a long run. I hadn't decided how long, but at least 10K.
Left the house at 9ish after the usual internal debate about what to wear. It's cold, but sunny... Just as I was leaving we took possession of my father-in-law, who's been evacuated because of the unexploded bomb. Anyway, I got to the end of my road to find a policeman stopping people from going towards the uni. I made a joke along the lines of 'but were OK up here' and he said, rather ominously, "yes, for the moment". It transpired that we'd know by ten. So I decided to come home and pack a bag. Came home, quick chat with hubby, didn't pack a bag and went out again, but changed my plan to staying local.
Well I ran for 2 minutes, and saw someone I knew and had a 2 minute chat (bomb talk), then I ran approx 1km and bumped into a lovely couple I know, who flagged me down for a chat. (Bomb) Half an hour later (!!) I extracated myself from the conversation, have up on running and went home. (Might have to pack a bag and go) So my long run turned out to be 1km and 2 chats.
Might go out later...

I hope the Army disable your local bomb quickly Lizcanrun so that you can get on with near normal life again. A good excuse for your Dads visit though. Enjoy it while you can.
Yes, he doesn’t know if his room was affected. I hope it doesn’t rain before they manage to get boards up. There must be private houses on Glenthorne Road and nearby with broken windows too, maybe even further. I hope your house wasn’t harmed by the shaking, it was a whopper of a bomb. Fancy it’s been there for up to eighty years!
We also had one this week on Formby Beach. Looked innocuous. It was also detonated after 11 hours of emergency services assessment. There’s quite a crater now. And WW1 ordnance is still killing people on the battlefields sites. The casualty figures rise every year...
