It’s 5.15pm and I’m over 20k steps already…. Some days I can barely scrape 2k so that’s not bad going.

I had a great sleep and met Rachel two doors down at 8.20am for our weekly run. (Forgot to write about it last week but we have done it every week in January!)

We ran a bit further this week so I was really pleased. It’s “only” 2 miles but that’s 2 miles more than I did in the last 6 months!! how red do I look?!?

We had to take Craig’s car to the garage for its service and then I started walking the millions* of dogs we now own.

It was actually a lovely morning. Cold but dry and sunny.

First up Calaidh and Bhruic.

The burn’s quite full after all the rain.

Bhru is checking it out.

Back home and swapped them for Freya. Did a bit of recall training with her.

She’s really good when she’s on her own with no distractions.

Wee sweetie… she’s still my baby!

The low winter sun makes everything look lovely. Only downside is my big shadow in the photo.

Back home and swapped for Khaleesi.

She had a lovely walk.

We caught this lovely rainbow as the rain was heading over, thankfully I missed the shower!

The cloud was low hanging with only a little bit of blue on the horizon as it came over.

Still no rest for the wicked 😂 when I got home I tidied the kitchen, put on a washing and filled the dishwasher.

I found one of my favourite socks…… this is it on my hand with the culprit… showing her what she has done!! Mum can you darn it?!?!? 😂 that’s me asking my mum, not Calaidh asking me…. Standing joke some of the socks we’ve asked mum to darn!!

When Craig came home from work we picked his car back up and headed to Mocha Jak’s for lunch. I had the avocado stack!

I then went down the little gift shop and spent about an hour chatting to Gayle. As you do. It’s looking soooo lovely just now.

Back home and into the pub and we’re both on alcohol free! Craig’s done so well with Dry January. He’s made it look so easy.

So home now…. I’ve been a bit antsy today. A lot of my day has felt like a chore and at times I’ve stopped myself and thought, be in the present moment and enjoy what you are doing right now. That’s really helped. I feel like I need “NOW” tattooed on my hand to remind me.

My knees have been great since last Friday. They’re ok ish today so will see how they are tonight after all those steps. They are not stopping me from doing anything which is the main thing!

So happy Friday night and enjoy your weekend!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
