Since isolation started I have had to give up two of my favourite things, travel and pubs.
Instead I’ve had to resort to a new boring chore to get me out of the house, it’s called jogging. Not only is jogging boring, uninteresting, bad for the knees and pointless as I own a car. It also drains people of their sense of humour, personality and drives them slowly insane.
Fortunately it has opened up a new social group for me, geese. No social distancing required, a captive jovial audience and I get to control the entire conversation… which turns out is mostly about jogging…
Please hurry up and finish Covid I need a pub 🍻
Endless Roaming

This made me laugh Dave. I actually like jogging, especially as it’s one of the only activities during which I can put on a podcast and actually concentrate. But hey, I hear ya. Unfortunately, jogging here in Siem Reap isn’t doable due to the burning heat, dusty roads, wild dogs and homicidal drivers. Then again, I have a pool, so that’ll do for the daily exercise. Stay healthy and safe.

I might of been egging it on a bit regarding jogging. I don’t mind doing it and there aren’t too many activities out there at the moment so I’m running more than I’d like. Siem Reap doesnt strike me as jogger friendly, maybe a few laps around Angkor Wat late evening. Stay safe

I bet those geese are LOUD! Love it. Tried taking up jogging, but did my knee in on jog #2 – not an excuse, honest!

They had a go out me but I managed to jog away. Running comes easy when you have an incentive 🦆

If you get the geese to chase you then it could become more interesting. Ha, yeah I am not much of a runner myself. I tend to end up walking instead.

I found jogging came in handy when the geese turned on me and started pecking.

There are no geese around here so I have to settle for sparrows and the occasion robin or cardinal. I did have a goosing experience once at a State Park.

I’ve only seen them in Centennial Park in Sydney, they aren’t common to Sydney thankfully 🙂

I’m with you. I miss going to the pub! Maybe when the pubs reopen, your new goose friends might make some good drinking buddies. 🙂

there is a #birthday, so Happy Birthday. I like jogging, however I agree with you. Geese sound so much better than my company while running – dogs. I mean, barking and chasing you dogs. I need a whistle! Oh, come to Poland, we have pubs open. Fancy a pint? Cheeeeeeers
