Lightening training wasn’t how I expected to start the day! Way too much rain (hours and hours) and for a “flat” course way too many tricky steep downhill bits that would have given a mountain goat trouble.
But! I did it! And have raised £1,945 (so far) for a fantastic charity!!!

It’s our 26 mile hike for Macmillan tomorrow, the weather looks interesting!
I’m a little overwhelmed by the support I’ve received, not sure if it’s because I’m a fat, old girl walking, the fact I was still on crutches at the start of April or both!

My last training walk was today! 27km done, 15 outside, 12 in the gym. Please feel free to sponsor me not just because I’ve been out in this heat but also because they do some wonderful work. Also, I broke my ankle in 2 places in Feb & I’m still going!

Just musing over dating profiles…
Are all the “spontaneous” guys really just unable to think ahead or plan?
And why am I not tripping over them all every time I got out for Sunday lunch?

Day 25 of #adventwardrobe & that’s it for another year! Cheeky little re-wear on Christmas Day as a) it was new this year & b) it’s my new favourite although I was back in the tried & tested onesie by the end of the day. Merry Christmas! #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024 #adventcocktails

Day 23 of #adventwardrobe & it’s Christmas Eve eve! No sign of work dialling down & Christmas prep is dialling up so I only got one shot of the festive reindeer dress today. The cocktail was a Revolver, my favourite so far #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024 #adventcocktails #adventcalendar2024

Day 20 of #adventwardrobe & a cozy snowflake ❄️ jumper for working from home. I do have matching earrings but forgot them. A Cuban negroni was the order of the day & finally I remembered to serve it in the new Nio glasses #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024 #adventcocktails #adventcalendar2024

Day 19 of #adventwardrobe and the last day in the office is Mrs Claus day. Normally there’s not as many people in the office though. Got a family pic with hubby, then home for a cheeky negroni to warm the cockles! #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024 #adventcocktails #adventcalendar2024

Day 15 of #adventwardrobe & it was a Christmas get together. A fabulous lunch hosted by Maz. A special request to wear the shoes meant a quick outflt replan. Of course I was in my pjs before I thought “Get another shot of the earrings” #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024 #adventcalendar2024

Day 14 of #adventwardrobe & it was a candy cane swing dress for a coffee date with Teddy. I don’t have candy cane earrings so Christmas puddings had to do. The cocktail was a winter sidecar, it’s in the fridge for tomorrow #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024 #adventcocktails #adventcalendar2024

Day 10 of #adventwardrobe A trip to Whitehall to see Henry VIIIs wine cellar, then the (now annual) trip to The Old Vic to see A Christmas Carol. A flat iron steak with a wagyu sirloin to share, before heading back home to flop on the sofa with a Gin Proved #25daysofchristmasoutfits #Christmas2024
