my new mid life crisis, makes me grin like a fool

wet and windy....

Todays walk, home, Lower Higham, Thames then home. Drizzle, mud, wind and cows...., Easter Sunday so it was lovely and quiet, no ships, no other walkers or dogs.

bike ride 25th March

A day off work, so took the chance to get out and do some miles in the morning. Raining again so the off road bits and some of the smaller lanes were a touch muddy. Still can't seem to get over 17km/h average speed.....

bike ride 20th March

Another circuit to try to get me fit... just over 20kms this time in just over an hour. South Westerly wind, miserable rain, and I extended this with some woodland single track (v muddy), some gravel off-road and the usual country lanes. A good ride.

some things are just simple and work....
(from the output of dir /s /ad /b - feed it through the script below)

open (IN,$ARGV[0]) || die "Can't open $file! $! \n";

while ()
{
$line0 = $_;
chop $line0;

print "cd \"$line0\"\n";
print "forfiles \/D -31\/12\/2007 \/C \"cmd \/c if \@isdir\=\=FALSE 7z a -mx7 \@fname.zip \@fname.\@ext\"\n";
print "forfiles \/D -31\/12\/2007 \/C \"cmd \/c if \@isdir\=\=FALSE del \@fname.\@ext\"\n";
print "::\n";
}
close (IN);

Bike Ride 13th March

Another route in my attempts to get fitter, from home via Higham, Shorne, Gravesend, then along the canal to Higham and home, good run would extend it when I can get some padding on my arse.

Dog Walk 13 March 2010

Saturday morning walk, orchards, wood, and muddy fields, cloudy and grey, but pleasant.
Extended the normal route across Lodge Hill and walked behind Spendiff.
