First time down the M40 in a while today, some observations: ✅ Indicators are optional. ✅ Do not drive in lane 1. ✅ Tailgate if the driver in front is doing less than 80mph. ✅ Defenders are only allowed in lane 3 and must tailgate.

Was it called rover?

Tried running again. 5km to play it safe, calves are like bricks. Still probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. I think running shoes might be a good idea!

Today we've been able to look at new mortgage deals. The best one is 51% increase on what we're currently paying. What insanity is this?

I’ve seen some utter drivel spouted these past few days criticising people who take the time to report road crime. Would they complain about any other crime type reported? Of course not… The fact they do so for road crime goes to the heart of the culture change needed.

Super shots of this little guy, always great to see them when I'm out and about.
