Running

Out for 5k at 1130.

Ran out along the permissive path to Girton, then back along the public footpath. Soggy underfoot, but not too muddy. It started to rain while I was out - it's ages since I've run in the rain, I'd forgotten how much I like it. Especially when it starts when you're already hot - very refreshing :-)

It's that time of year again

Now we're into December, I can no longer pretend that Christmas is a long way off and May Never Happen. So I'm setting myself a challenge of taking some Christmas photos. I'm aiming to produce one a day (although I'm not holding myself too firmly to that, life being what it is!). Some may be grab shots, some beautifully staged, and some may even be old favourites resurrected from the archives.

So here's the first one. In the supermarket yesterday they were selling some beautiful red poinsettias, so I bought one to be the first bit of Christmas decoration to go up in our house. It really brightens up the room, plus it holds extra, sweet memories for me of seeing them growing outdoors on holiday with DH in Cyprus one Christmas many years ago.
