After ten days off for a variety of reasons related to new working commitments, health, and too many birthdays, I got back out there today and it's turned decidedly autumnal. Lovely to get that bit of time to myself and to just allow my brain to wander wherever it wants to go.

Sticky toffee cake for Mr Bec's birthday. Birthday number 3 in the last 16 days with 2 more to go next week and then birthdayfest 2026 is over. 😅

We walked instead of running this morning, but still a lovely way to start Sunday. And I had a cheeky almond croissant cookie in the cafe afterwards 😋

First run back after a break for a dodgy knee and a chest cold. Urgh. This Daniel, who drinks like Richard Burton and dances like John Travolta sounds like someone I'd like to meet though! open.spotify.com/track/1oZYaz...

If you’re having a bit of a day, watch this. It’s simultaneously hilarious and heartwarming, assuming you like dogs! youtu.be/-6nM1IdWSQA?...

Cocktails and 10k. We did the Shine Night Walk on Cardiff tonight, fuelled by cocktails for Middle Miss' birthday. And what a lovely event it was, full of camaraderie, joy and hope!

13 miles from Cardiff to home. Every leg of the route had an issue.

Test run for the dodgy knee. Which is somewhat misleading in implying that I have a good knee when they're both shit but, to misquote Orwell, both knees are shit but some are more shit than others. Anyway, it hurt but we made it! Even ran over the railway bridge.

A few more from last night. It was the loveliest evening - the timing went perfectly so there was plenty of socialising and lots of dancing. I’m aching tonight 🤣

Pub lunch became beers and home just before midnight! It was raining so we had to seek shelter and that's our excuse!

I would love to breathe new life into this little gem… but I NEED funding! I may well eventually turn to you good people, but if there’s an arts-loving benefactor out there who fancies putting their shirt on a passionate, highly-qualified player, then do give me a shout.🙏🏻 Please RT, folks! x

I had a lovely lunch out with friends from work - the women who keep me sane! But I felt guilty for having ice cream so I had to run! I reckon that's only one of the three scoops burnt off😱🙄🤣

A lovely run and catch up with a great friend today. Somewhat unbelievably, she had a traumatic brain injury early in July but is making a remarkable recovery! Had a great natter.

A bit of a soggy run today, which wasn't entirely unwelcome.

Skipped my run this morning, after the excitement of Little Miss' excellent Year 10 GCSE results. Felt guilty. Went this evening. Another fastest 5K of my 40's. And the clouds held until I was almost at my front door!
