Day 52 - rainbow blanket finshed

This morning after breakfast Charlie and Marla went for a run. Charlie had found a trail route from Strava that somebody else had run so said it would be about 7km. So off they went and I did a bit of van work of hoovering, washing up and then finished my crochet blanket. Then I realise they’ve been gone quite a while and should I be worried? I had to look at where they were on Find My Friends which said he was about a mile away so I thought that’s not so bad and then I looked about 10 minutes later and they were still about a mile away but moving towards back home. I thought well if there’s been a problem Charlie would phone me and then I realise they’ve been gone almost an hour and a half to do 7K… but maybe they stopped on the beach for a play or something. Then I saw this figuring orange running towards the van looking a little bit dishevelled but all in one piece, so that’s good. It turns out some of the trails were non-existent and the terrain was not brilliant, so the run ended up almost 5km longer than it should have been.
Charlie was fairly traumatised and asked if he could have a beer - it was 11:50 by this point so why not.

Lunch was cheese sandwiches followed by ketchup flavoured crisps although Charlie didn’t like those so I have some extra for tomorrow while he had some gourmet crisps that weren’t actually that gourmet. It was a bit sad. Desert was tiramisu flavoured Oreos very fancy and they actually tasted like tiramisu. I was quite impressed. This afternoon has been very relaxed. Marla and Charlie have been absolutely shattered. Marla has done almost nothing but sleep and drink a lot - not beer just water. Now I’ve finished my crochet project, I’ve restarted the Cross-stitch that I bought with me to finish off. It turns out it’s a lot more fiddly than I remember, but I’ve started so I have to finish.

Dinner this evening was supermarket for cheese pizza which was surprisingly cheesy for a supermarket pizza, it was very tasty.

The weather today has been quite rainy for most of the day with short, sharp showers and overcast. But this evening when the sun was setting it was very bright and very lovely. Tomorrow is forecast to be a very dry and warm day, so I look forward to going and playing on the beach.Leggi altro
