Well, I'm super excited because after scratching my head for a while I finally found the roof access for my newish flat down some sort of secret corridor in the hallway, there's a really narrow, cobwebby brick passage with a tiny roof hatch at the end behind a hidden door. And that means I could finally get the chimney sweep up there! I was concerned he would get stuck as it's definitely built for the proportions of a small, grubby Dickensian orphan child—a nod to the unavoidably dark history of Britain—but out he shimmied with a casual grace that belied his stature. And now my chimney is spotless and ready for a roaring fire! What a lovely toasty thing to come home to after a run. I've got my ice grips out of the remaining moving boxes too, so I'm ready for you, slippy, chilly weather! How about you, any preparations in mind for the change in season where you are? I feel I talk about weather a lot, but it's a pretty important consideration for outdoor running!
If you're new or a lurker this is a great place to say a little hi without the pressure of a full post.
ATTENTION ALL! Do you have any events this weekend that you'd like to be added to the pompom post? If so, let us know below! 👇 👇 👇
Happy running!

PS this is not my fire, because it's not been lit yet and I thought a cosy picture would do the job much better! It's a representation of what mine might look like if I had nicer tiles and the previous owner hadn't seen fit to paint my walls a weird pale beige at some point. I can't help thinking those cacti wouldn't last long so close to the heat source too...
