Stage one - again!

Well, no marmalade was made today. The jars are ready and waiting, but the spirit was weak, mainly because of a truly horrible long run.

One of my fellow runners coined the phrase 'hurty rain' and that pretty much sums up what happened over 15 long miles. We also had hurty wind and very hurty legs. Character building I guess.

We'd arranged to see Lincoln in the afternoon. It was OK but I don't understand all the hype either about the film or Daniel Day Lewis. It's also a very long film to sit still through when you're very stiff!

So by the time I got home in the evening, I didn't have the energy to finish the cooking. Let's hope the soaked peel hasn't disintegrated by tomorrow!
