Day 744

Yes I'm here again! cant quite get my head around the fact I'm keeping up to date!

Not sure whats happening with this blinking computer but will have to have it seen to. My resistance must be low because I'm getting loads of virus,s!

So nothing really remarkable has occurred today! Another quiet morning followed by an afternoon shopping! yay just love it. A quiet afternoon sorting photos, and a visit from Tom before my run. So all in all today passed by as it usually does.

Driving to Lynn this afternoon gave me time to reflect on the seasons. The leaves are already starting to drop but the crows remain quite elusive and I'm not sure what that means. No raucous noises from the trees or the surrounding fields. Very strange.

The bird we found yesterday was just sitting on the road with some leaves and i missed it initially. Tim spotted it, as it was well camouflaged.

The tarmac roads are cracking badly. Not sure if this is due to the weather and dryness or due to heavy traffic use. The roads around here are far busier than they ever used to be.

I wonder what our Autumn and winter will be like. I move to quickly into the advancing year!

Still haven't heard about travel arrangements etc for next week. If nothing tomorrow then i will call an check but it is now very close to the time I'm due to start. I hate rushing arrangements.

Another friend has contacted me which is wonderful, she no longer works where i did and has made good career choice. I'm not alone!!

Tom was impressed with the quality of the photos i took yesterday so i must continue to practise. I understand its all in the eye!

Tonight's run went really well, in fact better than pre marathon, just need to keep it up. What a shame its happened so close to the op! I know i will be set back again in the winter. Tonight though i was pushed and i thought not sure if i will complete this, but i made the commitment once i was running on the other side of the river. Amazed at my time 6.2 miles 1hr 09mins! cracking for me. Now I'm worn out. Lets hope Sundays run is good too! I was told that the body takes some time to recover from the demands of a Marathon and i can certainly support that notion. You really do get a buzz from a good run.

How nice it is to end the day with positive thoughts. I never know when those dark days will happen, but when they do its so grim. Everything becomes grey and you are just going through the motions of living. Mikey would never have wanted us to feel like that. No one has ever come back and told us what its like after death, i wonder if Stephen Hawkins view is correct. He believes we are just computers and when we die the switch is off and there is nothing at all. Gone no afterlife just gone!! Cold thought and whilst i am not religious i do have to believe in something. It may be that I'm wrong but in order to cope with loss we do what we can to get through. I cannot accept that all what Mikey was has no significance and no meaning. He contributed so much and his memories are an essence that keeps us going. So Stephen Hawkins, clever man you may well be but have you no soul? perhaps that's a debate for another day!

After that i remain positive and my shopping bags are calling me. I need a quick reminder of my purchases! Now what was it, um new skirt! will i ever wear it? new shoes, now there is a surprise! new top, um different for me but i do need to change my look. Ah i will say about toms comment in a sec. Running socks, they even have L and R on so i don't get in a muddle!!!! Yet again i was taking the wrong route whilst running tonight and needed calling back!

I cant remember if i wrote this in one of my earlier blogs this week, i may have done but i have never been back and read any of the blogs. Maybe i will one day but certainly not now.
Anyway i said i would like a little convertible for me!! Tom laughed and said not a good idea mum as your cheeks will flap against the trees as you go past them. Don't you love them really!!! i appear to be an item of ridicule!!  Earlier Tim and Tom checked some pictures of me running. Tim said when did you get that green top? i had to look because i haven't got a green top. It was a rather large gentleman that runs for another club and yes, i was behind him but passed him on the next bend!! Beasts both of them as they laughed their heads off!

Well to browse and bed, and not worry about work, after all tomorrow is another day................
