Cropping issue

An early morning run and a swim is a great way to start a hot Summer’s day. Except when you have to pull out half-way through the run when your calf muscles start playing up again. Except when you can go straight into the water to get some cold over your body, and massage your calf. Except when a couple of noisy jet-skis stray into the no-go zone you’re cooling down in. Except when they soon realise their mistake and take themselves back the other way. Except when the blipfoto upload system insists on some unfortunate cropping. Except when your run-buddy finishes his run and you can retire to the pub for a beachside long black.  Except when you have to rush back home to oil the deck before the heat kicks in. Except when you realise that the first coat hasn’t yet dried completely so there’s no choice but to head inside for another coffee and a large bowl of fresh-picked apricots with yogurt.
