Happy Tuesday!

The last week went as follows:

Last Wednesday I was in Southampton for a networking event in the evening, back at late o’clock.  Thursday we went to Brie’s in London for dinner and got back even later.  Friday night, Karen & Kit came to dinner with us.  Saturday night we were at Tim’s 60th birthday party in Norfolk and stayed with our friends Edward & Dianne.  After a long breakfast on Sunday morning, we drove into London for Karen’s 22nd birthday celebrations.  Yesterday I had  a 4-hour meeting in Durham, resulting in me leaving the house at 6.30am and returning at 8.30pm.

So even I was quite surprised to find myself looking out of the window at the moon & stars just after 6am this morning, by the eerie light of the gas under the coffee pot.  More surprised still when an hour later, having caught up with some work, I was running up the road in a pair of shorts!

It was gorgeous out there, with Dawn stretching her gentle haze of sunshine through the early morning mist.  But my word, it was cold!  I may have been wearing shorts (winter doesn’t officially start for another couple of weeks) but I had two high performance tops on, plus my Gore jacket, a beanie hat and a pair of gloves.

I only wanted to stretch my legs so I did the (current) default run out past Royal Oak, through the West Woods and back down the Magical Path.  I know it’s 5.2 miles so I don’t need to get the map out when I get back.  And I know that 45 minutes is an okay time, especially bearing in mind I stopped to take a couple of photos.

The morning is now full of glorious sunshine, which makes it difficult to see my computer screen, but I am loathe to drop the blinds just yet.  Happy Tuesday everyone!
