Week 3 is history

That was the best week so far. Tried a slightly different route tonight as I'm always too far from home. I took a wrong turn, so ended up having to run down a really dark alley and nearly fell flat on my face. Maybe I should wear my specs πŸ˜ƒ

Also, I had my first heckle. A male voice shouted something from a passing car. I couldn't hear it but expect he was surprised to see someone as gorgeous as me in his neighbourhood πŸ˜‚

Ha! I can't imagine what goes through some people's heads when they heckle! Still, takes all sorts. Rise above and carry on- it sounds like you are X

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: there's only one thing worse than being heckled and that's not being heckled.

He might not have been a heckler. I once thought I was being heckled but the white van man was actually looking for me as he was the mower repair man. Good job I kept my big mouth shut. Tee hee

Well done BB, you're doing great! Keep up the good work. Maybe not the dark alleys mind you.

Thanks all - onwards and upwards :D

Oh genius, I laugh so much at your posts! I'm nearly done with week 4 and still awaiting a heckle (I did have a cow moo at me last week but I don't think that counts ;o)

Ooh. I'd love a cow heckle as that would mean I'd be in the countryside. I find pavement pounding in my urban area a bit dull. The only upside is the possibility of more heckles and an opportunity to grow my fan base. Not been "papped" yet but it can only be a matter of time 😁

I am literally crying with laughter at this :o)
