Morning...great day yesterday...paperwork & invoices completed...faulty goods packaged & returned...shopped...home lunch...then decide to take the dog for a walk...out for an hour...en route home I realised I had no keys...urghhhhhhhh...dropped them at the park...myself & other dog walkers looked for 45 minutes...telephone numbers were swopped in case they found them after we had left...no sign...resigned myself to calling family for their spare key...waited for half an hour in the cold...realising now I had no car key (having lost a set of keys a couple of weeks ago)...finally got in...found the keys on the kitchen work surface...forgot to take them:banghead::banghead::banghead:...despite the drama...woke to a 5.1.
What a day!! glad it sorted itself out nothing worse than lost keys, calm day for you hopefully today, chill with Harry! K

Going for an early walk with H...avoiding the other dog walkers who helped me search yesterday...if I see them do I confess...or keep quiet;)...not sure I want to admit I left them at home just yet K.

K...you're not in the 7s...6.8 is still reasonable in your circumstances...give yourself some leeway...you have a lot to deal with...try to step back a little...look forward to the holiday...which is much needed...build up your stamina...then 'blitz' that little monster on your return.
Couldnt of put it better myself

If they ask you can just outright lie and say you found them on your walk back home or fess up and you can all have a good laugh I'm sure they all enjoyed the search it's fun if it's not your stuff that is lost.

Mmm.. black pudding! Such temptation as I'm getting ready to go shop.. I think my North/South genes may be confused as I like chunks of black pudding in a nice salad.

Food cravings aside, 6.7 yesterday and 5.9 today
