It’s 7.52pm and I am in bed.

Scottish Dog Behaviourist flies to Doha at 8am tomorrow morning from Edinburgh…. And I have to get him there. Think we’re leaving about 3.30am!

I slept like a log until 5.21am and the alarm was due to go off at 5.25!!

I had a coughing fit when I woke but the cold symptoms have been a lot less severe today…. Thankfully. Maybe finally turning the corner?!?

I ran with Claire, Lynsey and Rachel this morning and I managed it… once I managed to find a left and right sock.

This is Claire coming out of her house next door with her head torch on, reflecting on the village hall windows!

I cut out a bit of our normal run to make it shorter but I still ran over 5kms.

It was slow as my legs were heavy while strangely, my breathing was ok.

Then poor Rachel two doors door tripped up the kerb on the Beith Bypass and hit the ground.

We have made the decision to stop running over the bypass in the dark. It’s got so busy this last year. The traffic is fast and relentless with few gaps.

She’s ok but scraped her hands and knuckles as she reached out to catch herself. It could have been so much worse so lesson learned!!

I’m so glad I managed to e run, it was good to be back.

I did lots more sorting out at work today so was in my element. More to do tomorrow.

It was lovely and sunny and we sat out at lunch. lovely blue sky.

But now I need to sleep. Think of me when you wake up as I’ll have crossed Scotland twice! Call me if you can’t sleep!!

Wishing Craig the most amazing trip to Doha and hoping this becomes a regular thing for him. Scottish Dog Behaviourist goes global!!

Stay safe everyone 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✈️🇶🇦
