We set off at 0600hrs, once everyone had met up and headed down to the main road so that we could start to head out of town and get a bit into the country side which is where the volume of traffic was considerably less, however, getting out of the town was fun, I have found with the people over here, that it does not matter whether they have the right of way, they are coming regardless. I managed to make it out of town unscathed.
It took the group about 2 hours to run 18 km but not all of the runners did the full 18 km as some kept doubling back for the slow coaches, (DCOS), but give him his due he isn’t the slightest of people and has been out of it for a while, I am not sure if he is doing the Everest Marathon with the others in November or if he is just going out on the runs to get fitter. I know from here on in though that I shall be going out on the bike more (especially when mine arrives) as there is definitely loads of other off road routes to explore.
It was Hem’s birthday today; Hem works in the Finance office downstairs from me dealing with the cashing cheques for personnel. Here for birthdays (as is probably the case with most office dwellers) the birthday person buys in the cakes, (normally in my case I make them), anyway Hem bought in some lovely cakes from the local baker and for whatever reason we all ended up going to a little restaurant for lunch, everything was ordered beforehand so when we showed up it didn’t take long for our meals to arrive (Charlie came with us as well as he seems to have been adopted by my lot), we both had Steamed Chicken Mo Mos, Charlie didn’t have much choice as to what he wanted as I ordered for him, but from the way he polished his plate off he seemed to enjoy it.
Once lunch was done it was back to work for a relatively normal afternoon, nothing untoward happened.
