Scary biscuits!

Set out to run 10k. Faffed about with my watch at the 4k point and wasnt feeling relaxed at all and going reaalllllly slowly.

Nearly got run over by a couple of speeding car drivers, and had to dive for the hedge. I think I aged 10 years., scary stuff 😫

Anyway, maybe the adrenaline of the near death gave me a second wind, I kept going. The 10k turned into 10 miles...turned my watch off...and then ran another mile. The furthest I've ever run.

Tonight's plan involves a takeaway and a glass of wine. Sod the cooking and cleaning. I'll work out a walking strategy for getting into bed later πŸ˜‚

I love your approach to sod the cooking and the cleaning! Just my sort of philosophy. Well done to you on that and the running thing too 😏

We're related as I originally came from Co. Antrim, so hello πŸ‘‹ And I have lots of beautiful Tyrone Crystal in the house. Such a shame it went out of business ☹️

I wondered where you were from, not too far from me! Tyrone Crystal was just down the road from me, some friends of mine were glass blowers there too. I think it was trading OK, but the parent company in the US went bang, taking everything down with it. Such a shame.

It's always sad when such a long standing company no longer exists but at least lots of us have gorgeous reminders from those days.
