It's not raining but it is a bit chilly for a Summer holiday.
August has flown by. Not going on holiday in August still feels strange and work has been a drag because everybody else is on holiday. I have been building up my running mileage and am set for GNR in two week's time. I have also been decorating our new utility room. Don't get me started on this project, me and the wife fell out over this but I had to back down as I could see my usual tactic of just ignoring her was't going to work (which means that she is really serious about it)so, builders employed and 1500 quid later part of our garage is now a Laundry Room. Wife is happy for the time being.
Football has started Posh started well, still not sure when I will get to see them this season.It's been hard to get excited about another season in League 1 but your team is your team and I am feeling the call of the Posh.

Glasgow Commonwealth Games
Me and the wife were in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games last weekend. What a great city and what great Games.
We saw Bolt cruise the final leg to win the 100m relay.We saw England win the 400m relay and the Pole Vault. I sang Jerusalem proudly twice with a slight tear in my eye. The organisation was fantastic and the natives were friendly so all in all a very satisfactory weekend.
Our Hotel The Heritage Hotel,was on the Great Western Road just up from the Botanical Gardens a few hundred metres from Hillhead subway on Byres Road and despite being horrendously overpriced for the Games was fine , not in any way flash and not luxurious but I would recommend it for a stay.
There were lots of young people with "Yes" badges on and Hampden did roar when Scots did well on the track or field, but the Scots in the crowd cheered the English and Welsh and Northern Irish athletes with almost as much gusto. So I didn't get any sense of how the Scots will vote next month. Personally I don't care whether they vote Yes or not.If they want to stay in the UK that's OK, if they don't that's OK too.
The house is crowded as both my son and daughter are back with us, the son only for a few weeks, the daughter for longer. The dog is happy and enjoying having the pack back together.
Football season starts on Saturday. Posh away at Rochdale and so it begins again
