Just got back from a 25 min joggle, with 10min in, the heavens opening up, thunder making its grand, noisy entrance and rain pouring down. Once the rain came down in spaghetti-like strings, I didn’t dare take my phone out again from its safe, dry pocket. So the pic was at the beginning of the downpour!
But this was the wettest run I’ve done for a long time! We had to check all our waterbut connections on return, as everything was overflowing!
Also had to strip down in the kitchen afterwards, before heading upstairs to do my stretches and shower!
Hubby had been out saving the country side (plucking out Himalayan Balsam), and met me on the last wet 10 minutes, and once home he realised, he must have lost his phone when he was trying to catch up with me! (Did you hear that? “trying to catch up to me!”… because I was so fast. Ok, so I added the last bit. 😃😄
So he had to go out in the pouring rain again and search in and around the stream, looking for his phone!
And what do you know! He found it!!!
So we are both now very very happy!
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Nice wet run for you today CBDB, nice photo, I can see the rain coming over that field with the trees blurred due to the rain, glad your husband found his phone.
Yes. Our delirious happiness was almost worth the moments of fear of having lost the phone.
(But knowing hubby, I thought he’s me have a good chance of finding it again. He tends to be ultra-lucky that way, and has quite a bit of practice of finding things as he also looses things often 😄🤣.
He once (decades ago) forgot his wallet in the middle of Glasgow in a phone booth, and half a day later, it was still there!
Another time we were hiking for a whole day and having returned to our bikes, he realised he’d lost the keys to our bike locks. He started to retrace his steps, and a few meters from the start, someone had carefully out the key on a stile 🤣🤣🤣
I could go on … 🤣🤣🤣)
Happy Seafront Day! I’m jealous of your lovely seaside routes! Despite sloggy sands! 👏👏👏
Very lucky. I'm toying with the idea of a later in the day run, might miss the seafront today and explore inland a bit. This week I intend to go somewhere I can park and start to explore the broads. Everywhere is so different to Sussex, but there are green leafy lanes too that reminds me of home. It still feels weird being in an area where my mum grew up and my grandparents spent the last half of their lives, but it's beginning to feel like home, and I can go shopping without the satnav now 🤣
Having moved in the average every 2 1/2 years, I currently enjoy the stability of living in one place for longer. But I do get ‘the moving itch’ in 2.5 year intervals. We’ll see. In the worst case, I’ll rearrange rooms in our home again. Makes me happy, less so hubby! 🤣🤣🤣 But we have an old, dilapidated couch house which is just shouting out to become my garden office! Just need to save up enough and some annual leave to get started.
Sploosh!!! Well done you on your run! I don't mind the rain if it comes on when I am out there, but I do dislike heading out in it . You had real downpours though... and thunder rolling in too.. very impressive runnin indeed!
Glad that husband got his phone back too... soggy or what? My phone got wet too this week, I inadvertently out it in the washing machine with a new pair of dungarees! It has just dried out!
Hopefully there will be a drier run to balance this one, but that photograph makes it look so exciting!
sounds like a fun wet run CBDB. I quite like running in the rain but I must admit to never having run in a thunderstorm ⛈ Great to find that phone though and lucky too. Happy running 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
I got caught in the rain on Saturday morning. When I set out it was drizzly and cool, which I don't mind. I managed to get to the end of my 35 minute run, just and then the heavens opened for my 5 minute cool down walk back home. Drowned rat!! Was good to get in that hot shower though and get warm and dry. My phone didn't want to play ball that morning either; obviously didn't like the weather (or like an idiot I hadn't switched on my data so didn't get any music!). So glad your husband found his phone - losing it on a run doesn't bear thinking about.
