21/05/18: Totteridge 4.75-miler

Having found myself a new job, I knew this would be my last morning walk for a while. A fox lying dead at the roadside – startling and beautiful – seemed a bad omen. As well as the usual roar of traffic, Totteridge Village had a strange smell of sewage. A girl on a passing bus was wearing a Game of Thrones T-shirt. By Dollis Brook, I saw a heron fly over. As always, I marvelled at its dinosaur-like quality. No hat and no “good morning” greetings suggested that the two are indeed related.

Back to work tomorrow. On 36 walks during this period between jobs I covered 134.49 miles. I will miss doing this every day.
