Sunshine on a rainy day

I woke up in a good mood this morning, which rapidly went downhill before I even got downstairs. The reason for the good mood was my Tuesday run with my friend Helen. Our run is sacrosanct. Nothing gets in the way of it. Apart from when I'm away in France a la last week. Otherwise NOTHING gets in the way.

So there I was, merrily getting my joggers on when I felt a strange sensation on my calf. Nano seconds later the pain became excruciating and there flew out a wasp! Well, it fell to the floor as I yanked the blighters off! It must have found a nice cosy home on the washing line and was cocooned there for a few days.

I did manage to go for my run (we had 2 weeks catching up to do) but I was pretty pathetic. It hurt ALOT.

At least when I got home there was a saving grace of receiving a little package of pretty fabrics. Even the worst of starts manage to somehow turn out ok when you receive these. Sunshine on a rainy day indeed. Hope your day did too x
