It's been just over a week since I fell and bust my lip open

Drat! I always miss the fun.

but it's almost completely healed already.

Oh bother! Septicaemia can be soooooo much fun.

Quoted message said:

Thanks for all the good wishes.

That's strange. I don't recall offering any.

I've had an enjoyable but unremarkable running week.

Even stranger. I've had a remarkably unpleasant non-running week.

Quoted message said:

The change of season is getting more noticeable here.

Translation: Mel has noticed that - in the northern hemisphere - it get
colder when you travel north. Good spot, Mel.

It's much cooler out,

Than indoors? Hell, you've outsmarted me again! Easy, isn't it?

and I've bough a long sleeved tshirt to run in,
and a showerproof jacket although I haven't had to use it yet.

Waiting for a shower? Don't worry, there'll be one along soon.

I saw (and heard) a flock of migrating geese during my run on Wednesday.

You assume they were migrating. In which direction were they flying?
They could simply have been doing a bit of shopping at Tesco's

Wednesday: 20 minutes. Saw geese flying South.

Oh, they were flying south. They WERE going to Tesco's.
