PB

Another Saturday another Parkrun. Didn’t see anyone I knew today and it felt more of a slog this week….at several points I wondered why I was doing it but did it nonetheless and ended up with my third in a row better time… 40’17” (I walk most of the way). Second in my age group again, and sure enough there are only two of us in that group who go! Never mind, at least I’m now not aching afterwards like the first week and my breathing’s still good.
The rest of the day we did very little as A was extremely hungover! She’d had a lovely time at karaoke last night with her workmates…too lovely a time without much food! She spent all day in bed or on the sofa so I did some food shopping, delved into war grave websites and fleshed out some more information about my grandfather’s brothers in WW1, and found one of the descendants of my great grandfather’s brothers lives in Edinburgh so sent a note and suggested a coffee.
By evening A felt well enough for some food so made a chicken and leek casserole and some sweet potato mash then a pineapple upside down cake for afterwards. I’ve eaten so much today but felt justified after my exertions this morning!
We binge watched Fleishman in Trouble on Disney+ all evening…a very good adaptation of the book we read at book group a while ago.
I guess we should have been busier to get ready for our holiday but it was actually very relaxing to just chill out.
