I didn’t have to use the car. Got my usual walk in and ensured I fulfilled my daily 10,000 steps. Was never more than five kilometres from the house.
A day is a concept in the mind of a species called Homo Sapiens on planet Earth. It relates to a single rotation of the planet. At the Earths Equator you would travel approximately 40,000 kilometres per day.
A similar day on Jupiter would be ten and a half hours, on Mercury fifty-nine days, whilst on Venus it would be two hundred and forty-three days.
As the Earth was rotating on its axis yesterday it was also orbiting its star – the Sun. That’s approximately 1.6 million miles yesterday. The sun itself of course was also orbiting within its own galaxy – The Milky Way – at 720,000 kilometres per hour.

The entire solar system, including the Earth, continued moving through the cosmic background at about 370 miles per second for a total of 32 million miles yesterday. The Milky Way and other galaxies in our neighbourhood continued on their journey towards the Great Attractor at approximately 1,000 kilometres per hour.
With all that travel yesterday, luckily, we didn’t hit anything.
It’s no wonder I’m so fucking tired today.
