Wednesday
Was it going to rain again? No.
Did I still put my fleece-lined raincoat on for the first walk like a woman preparing for a polar expedition? Yes.
Did I nearly expire 12 minutes in? Also yes.
Dramatically stripped off layers, halfway through walk one and ahhhhhhhhh… lovely. Cooler, fresher, borderline smug weather.
Only problem? I’d left my tissues in my coat pocket. And my cold is definitely better but no one's told my nose that. So I’ve basically spent the morning discovering that certain leaves can work as emergency Kleenex. Sort of. If you don’t mind losing all sense of dignity. Apparently I didn't.
And then a little unexpected highlight - I met my first person today who said they’d seen me on Facebook after spotting my logo! Proper little pinch-me moment.
Lovely to chat m Artie’s mum and dad 💚
Walk two though - genuinely gorgeous. Sea views, fresh breeze, dogs absolutely thriving. Coat left on front seat. One of those “this is the dream” moments (briefly… as I was rather thirsty, my toes started to pinch and we were heading up hill!)
Walk three took me back to an old favourite spot from years ago, where I enjoyed ooooohing and ahhhhhhing at the lambs … who are now absolutely massive. When did that happen? Not so much “cute spring lambs” anymore, more year 9 rugby team in sheep form!
Now I’m home: answering messages, walked my own dogs, cleaning up cat vomit from the rug (still can't get mad at you Morticia 🖤 but four times today might be pushing it), and later it’s off to see Jaws at the cinema - because nothing says relaxation like willingly watching a shark ruin everyone’s day.
I might have overshared but I'm tired! 😂
Oh and of course, all of my Wednesday dogs were fabulous, smooshable and made my day a big huge green heart kind of Wednesday 💚
