Private coaching at Nordic Steadiness over lunch (sure, we’re allowed to wfh in August, however I’m typically getting in not less than twice per week for PT! <– what Brits name private coaching.)

Then we took the prepare residence; whereas strolling to the station, there have been folks giving out these wine drinks. It’s at all times putting how they only hand out alcohol samples to folks with no issues about how outdated anybody is?? Not that we seemed till 18 (the ingesting age right here) however they didn’t appear to care both means.
After a protracted stroll with Ruth, we walked up the steep hill to the Highgate neighborhood to the Gatehouse for a Sunday pub roast. Ruth was a superb woman, resting on her little mat! It helps when she’s totally exercised earlier than we convey her to a pub for a meal…
