Variance

I was chatting with the Ottawacker earlier in the week about the variance of life in the UK, and how it stops people like me from getting bored the way I would if I lived somewhere with a better average quality of life.

Well, today was a case in point. After a week of dispiritingly dull and damp weather, I woke to clear blue skies, and had a joyous trip into the Pentlands with Django. Once again, I counted my blessings that I live close enough (and am fit enough) to easily walk up and back down from home. Vigorous walking was the plan, but I couldn't resist jogging up a bit, and running down some of the steeper slopes. I'll be able to live on this through a few more dull days!
