So the strike is currently impacting two passport offices, thus they have redirected us to Birmingham. It’s the same day, same time, meaning that there is a risk they will shut down as well.
Other than that my run in today was spectacular. I feel it was primarily due to the acceptance that things are beyond my control. I can only do so much.

Glad to hear that there is still a chance of your visa coming through. Keep on running!
