Mooring in the morning

Woke myself up at 5am coughing and sniffling so dragged myself downstairs to consume a gallon or so of tea before everyone else woke up. Had a long chat with a startled whippet too who hid her delight at my early start very well and listened intently to my chat, although she may well have appeared to be snoozing under her blanket to the untrained eye.

After breakfast and the school run I took myself off to the reservoir in an attempt to blast the sniffles with some fresh air. It didn't work but it was as beautiful as ever up there and I plotted a few new bike rides for when I'm feeling match fit again.
