Good Riddance 2020!

That was interesting!

There's only one street in our town beginning with 'I' and it's at the polar opposite side of town from me. I needed three 'Ds' and it turns out there aren't many more of those near me either!

While I was out, a man pulled up in his car and rather aggressively demanded to know if I had just taken a photo of his house ... well, maybe I said (not knowing where he had come from) and tried to explain but he roared off before letting me tell him it was only his number I was after (hopefully he'll see this and realise I wasn't up to any mischief πŸ˜…) - maybe think twice before taking photos for this challenge!!!

On the way home (from that far flung letter 'I'), I decided to go through the woods. I almost turned back it was so muddy, but stuck with it (literally). So glad I did as I found a trail of Christmas 'cracker' jokes pinned to the trees. I'm sure I missed some but it was fun; I bet the kids love them (yep, they were all at child friendly heights).

Another 12k for the pot from me too πŸ‘

Not being the most creative of people ... I may be taking a 2020 break tomorrow πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜…

You're a 100% more creative than me so far! πŸ˜‚

Love it! Bit scary about the man, but I'm sure he'll be happy when he reads this, as you say 🀣

I tactfully cut off the house name to hopefully keep him sweet πŸ˜… The Christmas cracker jokes (all now on the strava post but too many for here) successfully lifted the mood.

That is very creative Linda, well done. I’m afraid I have been any further than the supermarket but a run is planned tomorrow (in the rain by the look of it)

I was expecting to get wet today but was lucky enough to stay dry (apart from the muddy puddles in the wood). Hope it's not too unpleasant for you tomorrow 🀞

Now, that’s VERY creative Linda πŸ‘ I must say I was looking for all sorts of β€œ2020” images on my run this morning but could find nothing ☹️ Must think about this some more.....

Ha ha πŸ˜€ this made me laugh although being shouted at isn't really what any one wants when out running. I love the road names, great work.All I saw on my run was mud and wet leaves... No inspiration for me today.

I wish there was room for a collage of jokes too (I've put them in strava instead).

Hmmm. Neighbourhood surveillance can be a problem! We had β€œOperation Eagle Eye”. A neighbour reported a young woman running down the cut next to our house, suitcase in hand, and leaping into a car waiting at the bottom . Suspecting a burglary, our neighbour reported it to the police; outcome....the young lady was having a hitherto secret fling with the car driver.....oops!!

Aha!!! You reckon he was being defensive then, it was him with the secret to hide!!!

Brilliant photos. I've been spelling out words on my hedge for a couple of weeks, changing every few days - Peace, Love, Smile, before I changed them to Hope tonight I decided to do 2020, half was through I saw a gentleman standing with a camera, he said he loved my words and what was I doing, had to abandon 2020 and put up Hope, I will try 2020 when nobody is looking 🀣 However, I can give you a cumulative total of 10.5km for walks done on a glorious winters day today.

Oh, that's a lovely thing to do! and great to know it's been noticed and appreciated 😊. Maybe a 2020 in the middle of the night when no one else is looking πŸ˜…

Sadly only a walk tho ... still not running. Saving it for Christmas day as I suspect I only have one run in me at the moment. Will get there eventually πŸ™„πŸ˜Š

Linda this is so creative! I wouldn’t have thought to do that at all. What a great idea!

Me either - it was a stolen idea from an advent challenge I saw posted on facebook 😊
