I’m on the way to meet my mother and I have to confess I’m feeling slightly jaded. OXO in Thursday followed by birthday and leaving the country drinks (my friends, not me!) have left me feeling a bit sluggish.

Last week was dedicated to getting on top of the flat (and there is a bathroom to be painted this week because being grown up is just one domestic task after another!), next week is going to be about strapping my running shoes on and getting back into my slightly (ok hugely) wheezy groove. I get Tuesday off because Max and I are taking Murphy for a long walk and Friday for birthday party prep. Every other day this week will see me out in the park for at least 20 minutes. Time to focus on putting the miles on those shoes!!
