I need to get out for a run. It's been nearly three weeks now. The events of the last few weeks have rather taken over. I need a run to keep my head straight.

It's great being able to get out with your kids. Eleri and I will be out for three days between now and Christmas playing music at several of the markets around North Wales and the borders.

I'm the same, I need to get out on my pushbike at least once a week, or use the turbo, exercise is good medicine.

Enjoy playing at the markets Gary

My stress is all work related right now and I picked up my guitar for the first time in ages the other day when I got home. Don't know why I didn't do it sooner as I soon felt a lot better. I can't play for toffee but mucking about with the multi-effect pedal to make silly noises for half an hour made me feel much better.

Music is a great thing for stress relief. I can be lost in another world very quickly when I play, especially playing with other musicians.

Evening Gary. Sorry if you can smell me from your side of The Isles but I have been cleaning out the pond. What a pong. Plus I had to sift through the overgrown oxygenating weeds i hoiked out to rescue all of the mayfly nymphs (or whatever they were) that would otherwise have died. Got a sore back now but last time I did this, two years ago, we ended up with a much clearer pond come the spring which attracted newts. Nice. Resting now with a medicinal *cough* rum.

Still at work until Christmas Eve, then having Christmas Day with friends

It's going to be a very strange Christmas this year

But things are good with me
