Thursday
3 miles brisk pace 2 miles running
It was a lot warmer this morning than last night, thank goodness. Last night's dog walk was absolutely freezing, even with me dressed in Ian's warmest jacket, a scarf, hat and gloves. Brrrrr
But this morning, it was a sultry 9 deg C with just a 2mph S wind. Wonderful stuff. And no more rain either. Marvelous. There were a few puddles and quite a few snails and *shudder* worms. So much of my walking session was spent scouring the ground to make sure that I didn't step on anything I would immediately regret (or scream at).
The waves were breaking onto the beach with a very satisfying noise and I was amazed at the number of fishing ships out to sea this morning. I counted six. I couldn't make them out, but could detect their white lights.
Turning on the Long Road, I could smell the wonderful scent of all the flowers out in full bloom. Is it the time for Night Jasmine? I'm sure I could smell it. I could definitely make out the Hyacinths...one particular garden had loads of them all growing along the garden wall and smelling GLORIOUS.
I then headed up Nemesis Hill to begin my running session and daybreak was about to happen. More people appear as it becomes lighter, I've noticed - even though it's still only about 05:30am.
Back onto the cliff road now, watching daybreak over the sea. Mr Early sped past, wishing me his cheery Good Morning and as I neared home, Dave was there, opening up the newspaper shop.
It really was so mild that I wanted to spend longer out there. But a shower and breakfast beckons before getting ready for work. *sigh* Never mind. I'm looking forward to seeing a very dear friend for dinner tonight. Can't wait.
