The nights aren't drawing in anymore

After rain that would have had Noah looking out his carpentry set the heavens finally closed. There's still countless trickling sounds throughout the village. Hardly surprising as such trickles are the reason the whole modern world began in the area.

It's been a few weeks since I had a run. I pushed it a bit hard, putting in too many miles. The result was a sore knee. Then I got the winter vomiting virus and have been below par all week, With the appearence of the sun came a more cheery baldy bald man and after a chilled out morning, I headed out for a tootle.

Goodness, the ground is so saturated.... progress was tough and it was very difficult to keep good footing. It was impossible to do anything but walk up the 'running hill'....It's so called by me as it must hit 30% in bits and the challenge is to hit the top without walking. Impossible without crampons today!

Now it's time to tidy the house before I head off to Edinburgh for Xmas. I still need wrapping paper eeeek..... so maybe will get that at absolutely the last minute!
