Just Hanging Around.

An Indian chap decided to do some sort of zip wire stunt using his ponytail, suffered a heart attack and sadly died.  Evidently he's done this sort of thing before (not the heart attack bit), zipping between buildings hundreds of feet up in the air.  It doesn't sound like a healthy thing to do, and so it has proved.
I have a recurring issue with moles.  The sort who dig in your lawn and throw up heaps of mud.  Very annoying.  I have had some success with a trap - snaring one of the silky beasts, but there's obviously more than one and although I have reset the trap I'm not able to tempt it in.  You have to set it within the 'run' and that the difficult bit - finding the run ion the first place.  Every time I dig away to expose the supposed run, there doesn't seem to be any burrow as such - its as if the scheming little blighter fills it in behind him to make my job impossible, but this can't be true as can be seen by the piles of earth he throws up.  I day 'he', but who am I to know if they are female or male. 

I managed a cold 40 mile son my bike on Saturday and a windy 5 mile run yesterday.  I was feeling really tired before the run, and so it proved, it being one of my slowest performances for a while.
