Just finished me 2nd (or is it the 3rd) week of my self immolation.
Being semi-retired, my day normally consisted of 3-4 hours of footy reading and bantering, followed by or interspersed with, news and informational tv with a good movie, Maher episode, or, as a last resort, work for most of the day.
Now, I'm bored stupid. Refuse to watch the news, no footy and disgusted with myself that all the youporn girls know me by my first name.
Eating too well, no exercise, 'oo's that fat barstard?
I'm an early riser. 3, 4, 5 a.m. tops.
Yesterday and today I hit the running track in the park at 4am.
5 1/4 mile laps, 2 running, 3 power walking. Back home. Shower. 5am. Feel like a million. Like I've earned summat.
So I'm jogging in the moonlight and lamplight and I notice this tall woman in the distance, all dressed in green watching me as I circumnavigate.
Old pervert, thinks me. Then I see she's holding summat high in the air.
Lady Liberty.
Tara.
