.........and we have Lift Off

Really good nights sleep........woke up refreshed, decided to go for a run. Out the house just after 9.30, was already warming up......passed our windowcleaners en route, rhey gave me a "shout out" lol Run 1 Week 2 complete :-) Walked home briskly interspersed with a couple more runs, very hot by the time I got back, straight into a cool shower.......then a coffee in the garden whilst we devised a plan for the rest of the day.

Hubs hayfever continues to get him down, the best place is the coast, so Southport won the day, again! The weather was lovely when we arrived....headed straight to the little cafe by the Pier. I realised I had only had an apple, before my run, so no wonder I enjoyed my bacon roll & cappucino :-)

We were enjoying a nice long walk around the lake........when we heard a lot of commotion on the water. Hundreds of different birds, canadian geese, regular geese, ducks, swans.... all with their young, we think it was flying lessons en masse, as you can see in todays blip....it really was an amazing sight!

As we walked up onto the promenade, the sky was getting quite dark.....we just had the clothes we stood in, no coats etc. so when the big rain blobs started to hit the pavement, we thought we were in for a soaking!! We headed back towards the car, the rain didnt get any heavier....just as well, hubs knee was beginning to give him grief......we made it back without a drenching.

Back home just on 5, hub listened to the update, I went outside to read my book for an hour. It was 7 when we came back indoors, I made a quick prawn chorizo and vegetable pasta dish, with chilli, it was really tasty.

Spent a while downloading my images, editting and choosing todays blip, Ive also added an extra of the traditional bridge over the lake, with the pier and the main road bridge in the background.

Just checked my steps for today, 18,500, 12.5 kms, 8 miles :-)
No wonder my legs feel a bit tired ;-)

Supposed to be going to visit sis tomorrow, but the forecast doesnt look great, so going to wait until morning, then decide if we should postpone until Wednesday.

Hope youre all alert and safe
