I'm possibly being a bit hard on myself. After all, I got out for two runs on holiday and whilst I did take my running shoes and sports clothes, I didn't really expect to use them. We also followed up our 16km cycle ride with a 20km ride on Saturday. We did a route that took us to the Netherlands/Belgium border so can say we did a cycle ride across two countries. For a native of the increasingly isolationist United Kingdom, it really was depressing how irrelevant the border was, and how we would have been welcomed into the Schengen area but have too much of an ignorant jingoistic section of society that will never permit closer association with our European neighbours. Now we're out of the EU that dream of closer integration is even further away. I'm eligible for an Irish passport, but it would be a waste of time and money as my wife and children wouldn't be. I'd have definitely cleared out of here for somewhere in mainland Europe if I didn't have children.
Anyway, that went off on a bit of a tangent. I really am miserable tonight.
