I’ve had a busy wee day.

I slept so well, but it’s day 2 on progesterone so I’m always out like a light.

The alarm was set for 5.25am and I met Clare and Lynsey for a run at 5.45am.

It was so icy today… lots of black ice on the pavements so we had to run on the main roads. It made for an interesting run and also ended up a bit longer than we usually do.

We had to take it slower and stop as cars passed. We had to watch our footing all of the way.

It’s funny as that “slower” run used to be a fast one for me!

I tried a different hat today and it didn’t work as well as the one the other day. There was a bit too much air around my ears!

So back home and straight in for a warm shower.

There was a lovely sunrise… I spotted it while hanging up washing! Breathtaking.

I had a pottering few hours where I semi packed for my trip to Rome next weekend. I have to keep an eye on the forecast to decide whether to go for lighter or warmer clothes, but the staples are in.

Melanie, (who I met in Rome back in April, and then again in Milan last month) has invited me to stay with her for Thanksgiving. She’s invited people to share in her special day and I was lucky enough to be asked. I get the impression….. I should say I KNOW….she puts her heart and soul into it and cooks up a storm! I have never experienced a Thanksgiving before so I’m really looking forward to it.

So the bag is 3/4 packed. I leave on Friday, a week today, at 2.30am… or maybe a wee bit later. 😆

I headed down to the little gift shop for 11am. I’ve no photos… except for me modelling a scarf for mum….. but Gayle had some lovely new deliveries again today. Lovely beige, pink and blue hats, scarves and gloves. They look really good.

I have stuffed mushrooms and stuff fried veg for dinner…. Thanks to Craig…. Calaidh having a sniff…. 😆

So is Khaleesi!

So a really busy day and I’m glad to be relaxing now!

Have a great Saturday night.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
