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.

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.
