Day 2024 a quiet day that ended up being really busy!!

I am completely wiped out. (I wrote this at 4pm)

I could sleep…. I’ve dragged myself around half the day stressing about feeling tired, fighting it, trying not to fight it….. but I do think it could be a wee teensy, weensy bit of loneliness….. she who seeks out silence at every opportunity, really wishes she was in Doha too!!!

Gayle has just messaged and asked if I want to go to Largs and I have instantly perked up…. I don’t feel tired anymore, how funny.

I woke at 4.44am…..

The good news is that I didn’t cough once… ALL NIGHT.

How is it possible you can cough all night one night and not at all the next?!?

I got the dogs up and brought them through with me and we snuggled.

I got slapped with various paws in the face.

I had claws dig in my skin but I loved chattering away to them.

I finally got up about 7, fed the dogs and headed out in the dark for a walk with them.

I took lots of photos of spooky trees this morning. They still remind me of my inlaws neighbour Carole. She loved a spooky tree.

The light is coming…..

Huge clouds on the horizon.

The girls are having fun.

It’s cold and a wee bit windy but it’s lovely.

At 8.30 I meet Rachel for our 5k… just the two of us today.

I found it soooooooo hard. Honestly my legs were like lead weights, so heavy and I really struggled to keep moving.

This is the same road as the earlier photo, the sun is now up!

I am so happy it was over! Rachel was dressed for summer and I was dressed for a cold run!

We’d had a good chat about diet and I came home and made an omelette for breakfast and I really enjoyed it.

I had 3 Scottish Dog Behaviourist calls to make today. One at 11, one at 12 and one at 1pm.

No answer at 11 and the other two went well. I did some housework and some Her Travel Circle work in between.

Then just like that it was 2pm!!

I’ve moved some logs in the garden, done some more tidying but literally humphed myself around the house complaining about being so tired!!

So yeah, I’m really looking forward to meeting Gayle tonight and won’t post this yet in case I get some photos!!!

We went to Largs and there are photos!!

We ended up going to Nardinis in Largs as Wetherspoons was heaving.

Death by sugar…. We need to find something to do in the winter that doesn’t involve so many calories!

Gayle’s car looks amazing under the lights on Largs prom.

That was good for the soul. A great natter!

Craig is still having a great time out in Doha and I really do wish I had gone out took maybe one day. The place he is staying is lovely!!

Really randomly my brother, sis in law and nephew are in Doha for 3 hours layover tonight. Such a shame they can’t meet up!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
