Green fly, sun set & Labi Siffre

I waited until 8.15pm ~ it was still sooo hot n sticky! I regretted wearing my pink running vest as my aubergine face began to clash with it - and then wondered which of my 3 😱!! (Thanks Dralimc & Tasha99 🀣🀣 - and thanks Amazon!) ice towels will co-ordinate best with my aubergine face!! Get me. I do love a good clash πŸ€“ I used the Nike+ guided Headspace app (thanks Fabulous450 ) which I quite liked 😊 As I neared the end of the run a green fly flew into my eye, the sun was setting and Labi Siffre sang to me ❀ Finishing in style looking like a human aubergine with quite a bad eye tic 😳

I’m glad you liked the Headspace run! I really liked it.

Clashing is all the rage right now too Flara! 🀘🏽And you have 3 ice towels? Go you! 😁! Not sure about the fly in the eye though. 😯!

Well done you!! 😁❀️

Yes, it sounds like a very hot run! Think we might all need an ice towel with the heat forecast in the week ahead too. Shame though, they do look too small for my head! πŸ˜‚

Still thinking about that poor fly ☹️ Something Inside - one from my Grad playlist 😊 Headspace run on Nike+ run club ~ Andy Puddicombe & a Nike coach - guided mindful running... T'was great, but probs shouldn't have had my music on πŸ€£πŸ™ˆπŸ€“ (but then wouldn't have had Labi πŸ€”) Will do it again tomorrow without the music.... that'll be a first 😳
