My shift is 13 hours long with an hour of driving either end. That’s a lot of rain πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

In Monday news, it’s chucking it down. I’m at work and I left my bedroom windows wide open.

Send thoughts, prayers, towels and dehumidifiers

Grief is so difficult and so very tiring. It’s not been very long since you lost your mum and I’m certain you just need rest. Sending love. x

Very true! Thanks for the encouragement Lizzi πŸ€— xx

They do indeed. Had to stop a couple of times but definitely felt better for it! My little gym is out of action while I have some roofing replaced but will be back in there too by the end of this week 🀞🏻

Agreed. Hoping they will become somewhat banished if I keep walking 😬

Haha! πŸ˜‚ Yeah - Strava doesn’t yet know about the ring road. Can’t wait for it to be done so they can open some of the trails again

Slower, achy walk this morning. Another 10km and some new bits to one of my routes. Excellent way to start my Sunday despite the aches and pains!

That’s pretty good!
I think we might have some tailor-made maps in the Spine pipeline too!

Splendid golden hour 10km wander this evening

Mick is ace. He’s been trucking on trail races for a good while I think!

That’s 100% the way I felt yesterday morning!
Turns out that diagram wasn’t representative of what I actually had to do, thank goodness! Also, getting someone in meant waiting and I was impatient πŸ˜‚

I hope it live up to it!

I’ve been on steroids for almost a year so my immune system was a bit rubbish. I kept getting viruses from going to the gym last winter. This is my rather elaborate solution πŸ˜‚

That’s so lovely. Thanks. 🀩
I still have an enormous amount to be thankful for, despite dodgy autoimmune shenanigans!

Thank you.
That must have been difficult for him (and you) to deal with. Do you mind my asking if his is autoimmune? Obviously no pressure to reveal that :)

So glad he’s doing well 🀩

It’s not a done deal for me yet - unpredictable autoimmune kidney thing. The last 18 months have been a steep decline in function, but there’s still plenty of hope! :)
