And then I wondered how long it will take for that to happen

Had a bit of a life admin day on Sunday so didn’t go out as much to walk as I would have liked.

Never mind. Started again yesterday. Was close if I’d make it but went for a stroll down a local harbour, got the steps in and took in the sights

We go again

First time I’ve seen them. Won’t be the last

Got to 50 without visiting the place despite being from Scotland

Will make sure I don’t wait another 50 years to go back

I used to enjoy walking.

I’d be disappointed if I didn’t do less than 16,000 steps a day, bare minimum

I wasn’t the fittest person, didn’t do any other sports but really enjoyed urban walking.

Then something changed. Maybe didn’t have a good work life balance. Maybe had lost the habit.

Also didn’t usually mind the cold (being in Scotland!) but the last two winters seem to have got to me and prevented me from walking as much as I did.

I stumbled upon this on here and it got me thinking. Why don’t I set myself some basic rules, walk a bit more and enjoy my surroundings?

The rules are as follows

Walk at least 10,000 steps a day

Try and walk more steps than I did the day before

Get a streak going. Count how many days in a row I’ll walk over 10,000 steps

Take it in. Nature, the sounds, the sights. I’ll happily sit about on my phone looking up rubbish. Why not go outside and see the world on my door step?

I went five days in a row walking at least 10,000. That streak has gone but here’s what I seen when I was doing it.

Onto the next streak..

The performance wasn’t the best but we’ll take that

Big fan of a wee wander to the harbour at nights like last night. Acts as a proper reset on the day that’s gone before it

This is our year, eh

I’ve got the Spud shitting the bed meme ready for when England tonight on penalties too

Quite a controversial character -

Gilles De Bilde was involved in a serious on-field assault in December 1996, punching Eendracht Aalst player Krist Porte during a First Division match. The incident left Porte with a broken nose and severe eye injury, resulting in criminal charges for voluntary wounding and a lengthy suspension for De Bilde. (I don’t think De Bilde even got booked for it)

In 2006, he missed a match to mourn the death of one of his dogs

In 2011 he stood trial for the alleged battery of his wife

This is my mates ticket stud from the night!

It was a minimum donation of five ponds a ticket with proceeds going to Calton Athletic, the drug support group who feature in the start playing football with the guys.

There were three premiers in Edinburgh that night, one in Glasgow. I just missed out on the bus tickets to the after party in Glasgow where the stars and others like members of Blur and Angelina Jolie were in attendance.

I sat not far behind Irvine Welsh and it felt like the start of something social happening.

With my surname being Renton it’s even more amazing!

Not sure if this is still available to buy from them but the Paninaro magazine issue nine is all about Oasis. Some great articles, pictures and art featuring the band from their start right up to the comeback tour

It’s well worth tracking down a copy

Just finished reading this and highly recommend it. James Brown was the founder/editor of Loaded magazine that came about in the mid nineties.

Not so much a book on Britpop but a fascinating insight into what it was like to be at the centre of the universe at that point. And he’s a massive music fan. Some good stories about Liam.

I think he’ll still personalise copies that you buy from him directly from Instagram.

Hearts fans wanting Hibs to win more than some Hibs fans

Some Hibs fans wanting Rangers to win

Celtic hoping Rangers could get at least a draw

Mental, eh
