Ireland day 0507. Friday 17 February 2023- Haircut and Gym
Today’s summary Val was work, and I got a hair cut, went to the gym and made dinner
Today’s weather Dull and misty most of the day, with rain in the morning and evening.   A bit brighter at lunchtime.   Gale force wind overnight (the tail end of Otto) but mostly just light south westerly wind for the rest of the day.   Appx 12C

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
