Finally managed to get out for a fake commute - fewer motor vehicles to ruin it than usual (thanks, school holidays!), but no sign of the barn owls and this worrying smoke to the north-west (a fire engine did go past heading that way though 🤞).
Getting back out here the effects of drought are really apparent, and it is warm enough to be in very light clothing leaving the house just after 0500 - “yay, climate change”…

While getting soaked by the unscheduled rain on my fake commute this morning I at least spotted “my” barn owls. Let me tell you, they seemed even less impressed than I was.
Wouldn’t have seen that if I were driving.#FakeCommute #JustWalk #LowCarbonBirding #Birding #BarnOwl #TytoAlba #NotADuck

Today’s morning walk meant I got to spot a roosting barn owl. Wouldn’t have seen that if I were sat in a metal box on wheels - another reason to much prefer an active #FakeCommute to an actual commute in the car.

Early Saturday walk around my usual #FakeCommute route and guess what? It was #NicerWithoutCars!
-
Far fewer motor vehicles deafening me on this morning’s fake commute - it was indeed #NicerWithoutCars
-
I listened to that episode of Rare Earth on a nice #FakeCommute by the river - here’s photographic evidence that #BedfordIsntShit
-
My fake commute was a lot nicer with far fewer cars - shame that was only achievable by being up an hour and a bit earlier than normal… thanks, unplanned and unwanted wakefulness!
It didn’t show up in the photo, but I could see Orion low in the sky for the first time this winter.

Nice crisply cold fake commute this morning. Not too many automobiles, a beautiful flyover of seven geese, a close bare-eyed view of a handsome carrion crow… half an hour and I head off to donate platelets, always a worthwhile way to use up half a day of annual leave.

An hour and a quarter’s #FakeCommute got me through about an hour of the Podcast I was listening to as I kept having to pause and rewind because even with the volume at maximum I couldn’t hear it over the cars and lorries. FFS, makes me want to #BanCars before I go totally deaf. It would be so much #NicerWithoutCars.

Woke up twice in the night with cramp in my right calf. As the second time was ~0540 I said sod it and got up, and decided gentle exercise might do it some good so took my Dutch bike “Wheelibrord” for a fake commute (and to drop a few bottles in a near-no-houses bottle bank).
Far fewer cars going out an hour earlier than usual, plus cycling rather than walking shortened exposure. Still a shame about the physical and cost constraints meaning older parts of the town lack decent infrastructure but the new developments do provide some fairly usable cycleways.

Monday’s #FakeCommute momentarily #NicerWithoutCars

Nice to have the energy to drag myself out for a #FakeCommute this morning, and to need my long coat and trilby to keep the long-overdue rain off.
It’d be #NicerWithoutCars though. I can barely hear #TheWarOnCars podcast through my headphones.

Just started listening to the latest episode of @TheWarOnCars before the next one comes out (today?) - and did I hear that right, children in New York schools don’t learn to read joined up handwriting, never mind write it? Eh?
“No wonder everything is going to the dogs!”
Right, time to head out for my #FakeCommute… as ever I’m sure it’d be #NicerWithoutCars! -
A misty moisty morning for today’s #FakeCommute - may have to listen to some Steeleye when I get to the end of this episode of Rare Earth

I don’t usually go in for Irish stuff, but yesterday and this morning I’ve been quite enjoying Danzante Banda Celta, a “Celtic” band from Chile. Check ‘em out (or don’t, suit yourself) https://on.soundcloud.com/r1ds1YKmKed6ZdAs6
In other news, today’s #FakeCommute in the fog was nice, though as ever it’d have been #NicerWithoutCars

Another day another #FakeCommute that is #NicerWithoutCars even when that only lasts a few seconds.

Just another #FakeCommute that would be #NicerWithoutCars

Unexpected #MondayMallards - the first ducks on the smaller of the two SUDS ponds at the big development on my #FakeCommute!
