Raindance
19 07 2008I wake up knackered and think bollocks to doing seven miles and I don’t actually have the energy to go for a run at all but I decide I can probably manage three miles and I can also do some cow investigating and I’m feeling paranoid so I grab my personal alarm and go outside and a man hands me a pizza menu and I think mmmmmmmmm pizza but I remember it’s Veganthon and put the pizza menu in the recycling bin and it’s hot and sunny and I’m thinking I’m going to boil as I’ve got a normal t-shirt on as I was too lazy to go downstairs and get a proper one even though obviously I had to go downstairs to go outside anyway and I get over the footbridge and have a heart attack as I run into a man coming round the corner but it’s just another runner and my heart attack reminds me that the mighty Tim Smith of Cardiacs had a cardiac arrest and GET WELL SOON TIM and if I ever join a band I’m going to make sure it’s called I’m Rich and Famous and Really Thin Too or something and after 1.2 miles I stop to walk and I think what the fuck? I can’t start walking after 1.2 miles so I start to run again and go through the scary bridge and a family comes over the hill and I decide they’re probably not the Axe Murdering Family Robinson or anything and I can see a big black raincloud and I think oh no, it’s going to rain and then I think hurrah, it’s going to rain and then I don’t have to do the garden as even Shaun can’t talk me into gardening in the rain and I can revert to Plan A which is Shaun does the garden while I watch through the window and provide tea and biscuits and then it starts to rain really heavily and I think hurrah, no gardening for me but by the time I get home the rain has stopped and the sun has come out again and I google for raindances but I’m not sure they’re going to work as all I can see is blue sky and a few fluffy white clouds. Damn.

Which is the scary bridge?
The one after the stables as you’re going towards Coppermill Lane. Two women got attacked there on separate occasions last year or the year before.

o, you don’t want to be really thin. I’ve been really thin virtually all my life and it’s no fun, believe me!
I meant ‘No, you …’
I was thinner before I stopped smoking and I want to be skinny again. Now I have to watch what I eat, it’s not fair.
how is veganthon going jb? what are you eating? ..
Oh dear (about the bridge). I know which one you mean. There are usually a few people out and about around that bit, and houses/flats there, so not too hidden away.
Skinny’s ok if that’s the way you’re meant to be - boo to watching what you eat though!
Veganthon’s great. I haven’t blogged about it as I haven’t really thought about it. Apart from when I get the munchies and want chocolate, it’s practically been second nature. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to a pizza on 1 August though!
