My lessening of the footprint today is, looking at the weather and not venturing out at all!

)t' Mine too! Perhaps I could have my own carbon diary - or perhaps not, as I burn too much toast!

Sunday 3rd. Oct.

Once again I allowed the weather to defeat any intentions of going out. In fact I've had a completely lazy day, so very environmentally friendly!

If we get a few dry days strung together and I can get on with the work I'm doing at the Club in Canterbury, I want to cycle. It's about 14 miles. My only concern is that the quickest and flatest route is the A28 and cyclists are extremely annoying to most drivers on that road.

I have to say I have sinned today.

I took my son to Sevenoaks and where we needed to go is a bit far off the beaten track public transport wise, so we did the 80 odd mile round trip by car.

I promise to try harder next time.

I did do a long bike ride on Sunday, but I have to put in that rather than driving around the Co-Op I did cycle to the Co-op, the one 10 miles away, so I shall just classify it as the shorter distance.

I'm a bit tied down with work at the Cricket Club most days so that has stumped me a bit.

No excuses, must try harder !

At least you haven't given up, there a lot to be said for that and every little bit helps even if it isn't a lot.
