The next target is lunch which is 3 miles away. We are, I calculate, now on track to catch up with Brian Basham at c 3pm. My fellow rogue bloggers, even hungover Lucian Miers and reader N who has an incredibly heavy backpack, are on fine form. I am not. Something is not right and I am not eating just taking on more liquids. I have confessed to Nick Richards at Woodlarks that I might not make it to the finishing line this year. But I try to think about the next three miles which takes us, just, past halfway. Master Miers,a barking mad commie is staying at the back of the group to help me along and entertaining me with his bonkers world view. He makes our in house Euro loon Jonathan Price who normally is at the back with me seem quite sane. Think of my suffering as Master Miers explains why houses belonging to rich people should be nationalised and donate to Woodlarks HERE

Sorry to the in-house Euro loon Jonathan Price who reckons that my interest in the US election is excessive but two new polls yesterday cast further light on the races in Pennsylvania and Florida which as I noted yesterday are two of the three states that will decide the election. I discuss this and then Justin Urquhart Stewart on gold where he gets his numbers so wrong that I am more bullish than I was as I think this tells you something of wider import. Finally onto my good mate the Sith Lord Zak Mir, a chap called Carl Linton who is a plumber and heating engineer, and the current mood of market craziness.

As I am often abroad at election time I organise a permanent postal vote. Thus from Bristol in the South west region my ballot paper arrives and has been filled in ( and posted0 as you can see below. It is a treble pleasure.

We all have opinions about what might happen and no-one can prove that your opinion on the future is wrong.The sun will rise tomorrow is an opinion. I suspect few would disagree with it but since it is in the future not the past it is not a fact. Facts (a word derived from the Latin for it has happened) are a different matter. But not it seems if you are a nutty Euro loon who cannot accept the Brexit vote. Meet Petra Mason who has a degree in behavioural ecology and is into pottery and tweeting gibberish.
