Another late rising, I think it was probably around midday before the time I got out of bed. I had a coffee and some granny smith, granola and yoghurt and then watched some TV before getting up and cleaning the house.
I hoovered the whole house and tidied up my office/bedroom and put up some nails to hang up some art work/paintings. I cleaned surfaces and the bathroom and did 2 loads of laundry. I listened to the Archers, the High Low Podcast and With Me Now podcast as I cleaned.
I then got ready to go running and went out for about 7.5 miles in about an hour and 8 minutes. The heavy rain a few days ago meant that it was almost tropical feeling with everything feeling really steamed up. I ran an out and back route down to Fairburn Ings RSPB Reserve which was very pretty in the sunshine. I also saw lots of lovely red poppies along the way. I was feeling quite heavy and wasn't particularly fast. I'd not taken water with me and managed to survive by eating 2 shotbloks at the turnaround point. I listened to the end of "I am not your baby Mother" by Candice Brathwaite which was really powerful. The final few sentences mentioned about how it's not all about social media sharing, but it's mostly about what you do when no one is looking which really struck a chord with me. It made me think very much that I need to make sure that I am doing the right things at work to be a part of positive action and change. I got back in and necked 2 pints of orange squash and ice with a dash of salt.
I came back and had a bath with some lush lavendar bubble bar and then whilst Alan was on Zwift I mopped the lounge and the dining room.
I then had left over Chinese not realising how late it was and so Alan had to have a snack crumpet and cheese for his tea and made cherry crumble for our "tea" which was delicious. He also made a lovely rum punch for us both.
I watched some more catfish and then we watched The Night Tonight and some Scrubs. I also ordered a card on moonpig and a meatbox for my Dad for Father's day.
I also finally sent over the pictures that the guides had drawn for our local Self Isolation Support group and booked in my virtual marathon training sessions.
