Well, my internet still doesn't work, but at least I'm not on a train. So here we go... and it's another bank holiday, so we've loads of events! And because it's another bank holiday, the weather looks pretty awful. 🌩⛈🌧 Enough for the Edinburgh Marathon people to send out an email about adverse weather conditions. Uh oh...

Thanks sqr. I didn’t do my 10km race because I climbed a mountain with about 20 family members to spread my uncle’s ashes. It was steep and my knees and hips are suffering because I ran 10 km on forest trails yesterday. 5km up and 5km down. Tough but beautiful. Ooh I’m Slow on steep forest paths !

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

Well done Paula, I hope it was nice memorial for your uncle. 🌼

[Hidden in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

It was. We sang “the parting glass” and a pigeon descended to watch us just at the moment of spreading his ashes and then flew away. The sun came out and we sang “here comes the sun”. My 87 year old father down to my 10 year old nephew climbed.

Sounds lovely. A good send off 🌻🕊
