Only one real headline for this blog:
Get out and Vote on Thursday in the EU elections (because that's democracy at work everyone, and take your friends).
If only 33% of the UK eligible population vote, then you can't complain if the vociferous 17% of the voting population get a majority in the European Parliament MEP seats.
If we have a fantastic turnout, then 17% of say a 65% turnout - will only get a quarter of the seats and not a majority. Who's the 17% I hear you ask ? - probably the 17% you don't want in any position of power...
...so get out and vote, you can probably even do it on a training run !!
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.”
Don't be one of those people.
Anyway we return to this blogging after what has been over 500,000 images added to the gallery in the past two weeks with Southampton and Velo Birmingham adding that total between them - two massive events of extraordinary complexity - who would be a project manager !!
And in the meantime our 16 and 18year olds are having their brains mashed out onto A4 paper. How is exam season treating you and your family then ? No better excuse now the weather is nicer to go for a head clearing run - in the evening to help with a good nights sleep or indeed in the morning.
So here are the recent galleries of your fantastic efforts to remember them by:

And then what do you want to do after the exams ?
We are on a bit of a two week break with the bank holiday - we're not working at it - but if you are in the local sussex area - you can laugh at my total and utter failure of fitness for the past three months (a wrist operation and then a right nasty month long cold has taken it's toll) - as we have the Focus 10k on June the 2nd for a short run around... you might like it: https://www.chf.org.uk/focus10k.html
