Day 1575 5k run then painting ALL day 😩

I am exhausted!!

I can hardly put one foot in front of the other 😆 I have been painting the spare bedroom all day and I didn’t enjoy one minute of it.

But it is done ✅

Almost…. Someone suggested my free hand cutting in on the feature wall to white wall, wasn’t the best…. He is absolutely right and lucky to still be alive, in equal measure.

I messaged the run chat last night, as I hadn’t heard from anyone.

Let’s be clear here, I don’t really want to run…. But I also don’t want to NOT run on a Saturday.

It took me all day yesterday and I finally asked if someone else could head out this morning.

Lynsey said she could!

I was awake about 5.30am and up just after 6, meeting Lynsey at 6.30am.

She arrived early, from the opposite way she would usually come…

Turns out she met up with other girls at 5am to do a 10k and THEN came to meet me at 6.30… as you do!

We managed to get our run in the dry this morning… before the rain.

She doesn’t even seem tired!!

It’s a lovely morning, though a bit windy.

I manage the first 3.5-4kms but hit a wall on the last one.

I felt really strong at the start but super tired at the end. I felt lethargic all day.

I’m quite glad that’s over!

Mrs 15k is away home for a well deserved nap, while I head into a very cold shower. For the first time, I was able to take the whole shower under the cold water. It felt amazing.

Got ready to walk the dogs as Craig was still in bed. The heavens opened again and it was torrential rain, so I sat back down and had a coffee and lit the fire.

It’s so dark outside.

I’d made a list for this weekend… in case I forgot all the things I wanted to do.

All done apart from the dog walk. sorry puppers… they have been outside all day though.

I have not stopped….. It’s not been easy and I’ve found it really hard. A real drudge. I do not like decorating.

When you have 4 dogs, your house isn’t your own and does need a good clean from time to time…. I don’t do it often enough.

This room used to be Craig’s office so had lots of marks on the walls from all the white boards etc, that he had up.

So spare room gutted for my friend Helen coming to stay, next weekend.

Work in progress… feature wall from dark grey to Overtly Olive. We had lots left over from painting our kitchen cupboards.

I am really pleased with it. Impossible to get decent photos.

I could literally sleep sitting here typing this. 😆 but I need to feed the dogs!

Done ✅

The rest of the house is a mess but that can get dealt with tomorow. I’m not moving!!

Also my FB memories showed me it is 2 years ago since I took one of my favourite photos.

This is the sun setting through an old lamppost. I was staying in Ryan Bay holiday park in Abbie the campervan. That was a lovely weekend. I was really chuffed with this photo.

Hope you all had a great Saturday.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
