I woke at 6am and had to shut the bedroom window as it was so windy. It was still dry but the forecast was pretty wet….
Craig’s away this weekend. He’s away up in Fort Augustus being the Scottish Dog Behaviourist. It was a 4 hour drive for him to get there. He doesn’t do this very often but he took the chance to camp on either side of the job.
5 of us were running at 6.45 and by the time we met, it was still dark and pouring with rain.
We realised that in all the months we have been running Wednesday and Saturday, we have never had weather that bad (apart from the 10k Irvine one!!) we’ve been so lucky that it’s always been dry.
Not so today…
It was wild!! Before long we were soaked to the skin…. Right down to the undies 😆
We still managed 5.5kms. It was great to have so many of us together too.
Elly was so kind and brought us all cupcakes this morning.
They are so pretty and tasted so good!
I was completely soaked!
I had to have a hot shower as soon as I got home… the heat of the water stung my skin.
It was so dark and torrential rain on and off all morning. I started on the housework as soon as I was out of the shower……
I did not stop until 1pm. I went through phases of being possessed by cleaning and loving every minute to despairing at the mess and being overwhelmed by clutter.
We have so much to clear out but I need to get the house clean before I can start thinking of that.
So I did….
I had some lunch and finally caught a dry spell, managed to get the dogs out before 2pm. The sun even made an appearance! Love the reflection in the puddle.
Come on mumma… Freya is always checking for me.
Those big dark clouds are heading our way.
The burn is very full after the amount of rain we had this morning.
And it started to rain again!! I didn’t think we would make it round before that cloud hit.
Dropped Freya and Calaidh back in the henhouse… (forgot to say that Craig has Bhru!) and Khaleesi was next. The sun came out again!!
I’m still not walking her very far. She hopped a bit on her back leg.
THEN…. I went for a food shopping.
I have to say I’ve been sitting trying to write this for hours now. I am shattered. I’m yawning so hard there are tears streaming down my face!
I have so many more things I would like to do today but it was enough and it will all have to wait.
I have an overwhelming sense of of peace right now.
Still yawning my head off!! 😆
I hope you all have a great Saturday night and I hope that Craig and Bhruic stay warm. I’m very glad I’m not sleeping in tent tonight!
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
