Project 365 2015 #22

Half term is here for week 22 of Project 365 2015 and what a lovely break it has been. We have stayed home but filled our time locally.

Day 144
Lazy Sunday followed by an indoor workout and hula hooping in the garden.
Day 145
Bank Holiday Monday run along the canal where I decided that I love a change of scenery whilst running and beating the barges but my road running shoes were not designed for the towpaths. Obviously.
Day 146
Report writing day today so the kiddos were under strict instructions to just play and leave me well alone. Luckily they had a friend for company then my friend took them all out to play at a park in Bath. Luckily I had strawberry bonbons to fuel me through.
Day 147
My girl suggested Great Chalfield Manor today and what a great idea. It is a lovely place for a quiet wander around. We then headed to a nearby village for a picnic by the park.
Day 148
A walk to town so my boy could spend some birthday money, my girl could find some stationery for letter writing and I could pick up the latest Simple Things magazine. Later we cooked pasta al fresco.
Day 149
After my canal run I found some bargain trail shoes online and today my Adidas Kanadia shoes arrived. I have yet to test them out but I cannot wait!
Day 150
Today we spent a few hours out at Stourhead, as you may know, one of my favourite spots.

Dandelion clock

Tick tock tick tock.
Time passes by in the blink of an eye.
The fragile dandelion clock stands in a field stretching out towards the setting sun.
Waiting for its moment to fly.

Week 21 of Project 365 2015 and the sun shone - for most of it.

Day 137
A chilly sunny day at Tyntesfield followed by a drive back over the Clifton Suspension Bridge and everyone was happy. The sky looked glorious above the house.
Day 138
A rainy morning but I was happy to run in it - fewer people on the pavements to hear my heavy breathing! I reached 7km today so was smiling when I got back.
Day 139
A rare trip into Bath with the husband today. I picked up a few running bits and we had a tea and coffee at one of our favourite spots followed by lunch.
Day 140
Back to work day. It was a long one but a good one and on my return there was an Iris on the patio left by the mother in law.
Day 141
I wandered down the garden after work today and discovered my alliums in full bloom. I love the shape of these flowers - like an exploding firework.
Day 142
Friday run tonight, a pleasant 5k round the villages then I spotted the sun setting so headed back to the field and found a blanket of dandelions.
Day 143
A nondescript day and I had a bit of time chilling in the shack with a book and a cuppa.

Project 365 2015 #20

I have had my positive head on for week 20 of Project 365 2015.
And as the week draws to an end the sun is shining!

Project 365 #20

Day 130
A change to my usual sausages and pancakes today. I was feeling a bit sluggish so piled on the natural yoghurt, banana, almonds, seeds and lemon curd - on top of the pancakes!
Day 131
Happymail today in the form of my rather lovely racing medal bling for the RMR Spin into Spring 5k Virtual Runner race.
Day 132
The alliums are starting to emerge at the bottom of the garden.
Day 133
To beat my Wednesday blues I headed out for an evening run. This is what I love about this time of year, I can run and watch the sunset.
Day 134
A last minute snap today for my #embracehappy #3goodthings picture - the heart magnet on the fridge.
Day 135
My girl came into me this evening and said, "Mummy I have some flowers for you". Aquilegia from the garden. Love her.
Day 136
A 6k run today - my longest and fastest so I was happy. I walked for a while afterwards to help recover and snapped the Cow's Parsley on the roadside - or is it Ground Elder?! Please excuse the blur - sweaty hands!
