Morning all, I hope you all had a good Christmas however you spent it. I have no idea of what day it is, all I know is I have a couple more days of freedom before I go back to work!

I’ve been doing lots of soggy windblown dog walks over the last few days- especially yesterday, see photo -but haven’t actually put in my running shoes. This morning I decided to go for it whatever the weather. Just as well as it pretty much threw everything at us - wind (😡) rain, hail, sunshine… so I decided to go for a shorter pacier run rather than a long one.

I tried out my new running neck warmer that mr Hettie got me for Christmas ( I sent him the link!) very nice and I especially liked the breathable holes at the front if you want to cover the lower part of your face. It wasn’t really cold enough today but I can see this is going to be a useful addition to the running armoury. I get so hot when I’m running I rarely wear layers but this might help on days when the wind is biting.

I just can’t wait for lighter days .. at least we are past the solstice now.. time for optimism. 🙂

Merry twixmas, I'm a bit vague as to the day too but that because I'm retired. Your dog looks amazing on the beach, well done just going for it.. what a great gift a neck warmer is! I wear a buff and on cold days pull it up over my mouth and nose until I get used to the cold air, mind you it's windy but not cold so far

🍏👏Your Ebony is just too gorgeous for words. Well done on getting the run done ✅. In this weather when we are home and dry relaxing with a hot drink after braving it, it feels extra satisfying somehow!

🌟 Thanks for all your encouragement & support on the forum this past year. As we move into 2024 shortly, may it be a good one for you!

Gorgeous photo of your dog and the neck warmer with neck holes sounds really handy! Love the optimism too, I've been telling everyone it just gets lighter from here 😊

January can be such a depressing month waiting for lighter days, I’m determined to be positive!

Also we have a daffodil in the front garden which is just about to open!!😱 spring is on its way!! 🤷🏼‍♀️ ( we’ll probably get a cold snap now!)
