Just heading up to Manchester with John, Joe and Amanda, those two are running the half marathon part of the Great Manchester Run this morning and we’re instructed to wait at the half way point with energy water (there’s a name for it but it’s too early to think). We were all up at 5am and out by 6 in case of delays as Joe’s category starts at 8.20 and Manda’s 20 minutes later.
I think a relaxing afternoon is in order once we get home.
Good morning. Rainng here Cruiser, and none too warm. Blimey Jo, you are racking up the miles! you could have some of our rain Jan, we've got plenty to spare. Sunday dinner with daughter and family + sister in law. Then hopefully a quiet afternoon. Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, it’s damp and dreary here and currently about 11 degrees, I’m wearing socks although Edward is wearing shorts - for decades I wanted him to wear shorts more and he finally started a few years ago. No plan today, I did loads of laundry and other stuff yesterday so can take it easy today. Reading and jigsaw I think.
We had a really good go at the garden yesterday and boy do I know it. Still needs a lot done, but it looks a bit tidier now. Probably just as well we didn't leave it till today, it rained overnight and was still damp when we got up. Think the forecast is good for the rest of the day, but every now and then the sun disappears and it gets very cloudy.
A lazy day beckons, will be cooking a roast chicken for dinner later and that's about it.
Despite the forecast, it's been a bright day here after all - just very windy! We went out to the garden centre at Whitminster for a cuppa, then round to D's. Our nephew Sam was visiting, so it was nice to catch up with him - hearing all about the extreme weather training he did in Norway with the Marines in March. Brrr!
I forgot to get the lamb out of the freezer earlier, so we're having that tomorrow now, and we're having curry tonight instead
