Oh my days!!! It was too hot at 7.00am!! I had to get out and run though. I was going to run yesterday ( my birthday) but spent the day seeing various family members 1 at a time and receiving copious amounts of cake !!! I think they are trying to fatten me up!! Then I thought perhaps I’d wait till it cooled down and run last night but it never cooled down!!

So this morning I was up, fed the cats, gave Loki his meds and out the door. Decided to just run for 30 minutes and not worry about distance or speed. I’d woken with a painful coccyx. And the only reason I can think was I was sitting on wooden garden seats a lot yesterday. It didn’t stop me running although I could still feel it. I’m going to do a bit of Pilates and foam rollering later to see if that helps.

Well it was pretty warm even that time of morning but I managed my 30 minutes and decided to just call it a day there. Didn’t see many other people out - quite a few cars- but pretty peaceful really. And I’m glad I went. Walked back home and had breakfast and shower and then took my Loki back to the vets for his second dressing change. This is going to be a way of life for him for at least the next 2 weeks. The good news is that the skin is starting to close up a bit, where he lost some skin, and it’s healing nicely. He’s feeling confident enough to go up his cattree now and stood on his hind legs sharpening his claws on it for a while so he’s obviously not in so much pain now. The bad news is he has a PINK bandage!!! How rude!! Luckily he is in touch with his feminine side and is ignoring it.

Thanks. I’m almost looking forward to the thunderstorm we’ve been forecast .. tempted to just lie on my back in the garden if it rains ...

Happy Birthday for yesterday Lou, and well done on your hot run today on your older legs !😉x

So good to hear Loki is able to do more and enjoy his normal activities more. He won't notice the bandage is pink😏😊🐱xxxx

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks

Yeah he is just lying under my bed at the mo, while my 2 black girls and my dark tabby one are going from one patch to another trying to find a cool patch.

I’m tempted to take all my clothes off and lie on my tiled kitchen floor naked. 🥵🤣🤣

Glad that you were able to see folk on your birthday - sounds like you had a lovely, sociable day. Happy belated birthday! Here's another cake 🎂

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thanks that one is less fattening too

Glad to hear Loki is on the mend.

I had so much... 2 custard danish, 2 egg custard tarts, choc butterfly cakes, coffee cakes, lemon drizzle, salted galaxy caramel brownies..... I haven’t eaten them all myself !!!🤣🤣🤣

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to limberlou]

Oh wow, what a scrummy selection! 😋

Glad you had an early run, I suspect it was too hot however early you went yesterday, we’ve had rain in the night but it’s still hot here today

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

We had the black clouds at 5, then they cleared then we had a hour of rumbly thunder from 9-10, but if lightning but no rain.hoped for some overnight but no. Bit cooler this morning though

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to limberlou]

AppRently we had amazing lightening but slept through it and the ground was wet when we woke at 6

[Vonb Graduate10]

Belated happy birthday, I too got up and did a 7am run thinking I’d run before it got too hot, at least we had a breeze though!

Your cakes do sound good, I might have to bake at the weekend x

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Vonb]

Yes it was odd how both sons, my daughter and my sister all turned up with cakes. I suppose I always bake when it’s their birthday too

[Banana12 Graduate10]

Happy Birthday Limberlou! Like your neck if the woods, it’s pretty hot here too. The humidity was 86 and I came back soaked right through. Not long till I get home hopefully, I’ll miss the great weather but not the humidity. Glad everyone is on the mend. X

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Banana12]

Where do you go home to? My sister in law got stuck here when she lives in Spain. Was due to go home day after lockdown. Luckily she could live in her sons holiday home where they stay when she is over here.

[Banana12 Graduate10]

We return to Scotland on Wednesday if all goes to plan. We’ve been in beautiful Portugal since January. We were meant to return home at the end of March, but flights were cancelled...several times. So we’ve been here a while. It’s been great. I’ll miss it but it’ll be great getting home for sure.

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Banana12]

Well it’s been really hot and humid here too. But yes im sure you’ll be glad to get home

[LurcherMum Graduate10]

Happy Birthday for yesterday. And well done for your run. Getting up early is the only answer in this heat.

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to LurcherMum]

Indeed. Today is lovely and cool in comparison
