Back online - Catch up!

Hello? Anyone still there?

I am finally properly back online since we moved house. All this time I have survived on occasional wifi use at other people's houses, but at last we're fully functioning - hurrah!

So I never got to post about my birthday.

We actually moved house on my birthday, so it was a fairly boring day of cleaning, waiting for removal men and unpacking. But before all that, we had a great morning at parkrun! It was Eastbourne's 100th run, so runners were encouraged to dress up in Christmassy gear.

Robbie and I took our Santa hats (although Robbie's might have been a bit big)


Anyway, before the run, Robbie finally got his t-shirt. This is a prize that is awarded to junior runners when they achieve the milestone of 10 runs. Robbie did his 10th run in mid-September, but it has taken this long for the t-shirt to arrive in Eastbourne!


This was actually Robbie's 18th parkrun, and my 40th - when I get to 50, I'll get a t-shirt too!


We took it very easy, and finished 141st and 142nd - it was a much larger field than usual! Afterwards there was cake and mince pies to celebrate the 100th run. It was a great birthday morning, although Robbie did try to steal my mince pie - no chance!

  2. It was lucky that Robbie could see where he was going with that giant hat on. Next year he'll have to grow an afro so it fits him better.
