Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
Once again, Val was at work so I was left to my own devices.
As soon as she was off, I headed out into Malahide and got a radical haircut (a no 4 + a no 2) which immediately made me feel a lot more energetic (a sort of reverse-Samson effect).
Then I went on to the gym, to add another 10051m contribution to the Morocco challenge total. Suitably energised by the haircut and exercise, I headed back to the flat and polished off Spanish homework in next to no time, and got dinner ready for when Val got back.
Signing off now as I need to do a short evening walk to add to the total, then hopefully it will be time to settle back, enjoy a beer and a box set on Netflix.

Dull and wet in downtown Malahide today |
Torture machine no. 1 – the exercise bike. I still haven’t worked out how to change the display to metric units |

The ambitiously but inappropriately named New Street Shopping Mall. It includes a barbers (where I went – on the left), a tattoo parlour and a fish shop – and that’s about it. Still, it’s a good place to keep out of the rain |
