A birthday blog
Happy birthday to me
I am now forty-three
Happy birthday dear JogBlog
And yes, I’ve been for a jog
After opening my presents (an octopus sculpted by the mega-talented Rich (aka Ume Toys, aka Joggerblogger),
a pair of cat socks, a pair of giraffe socks, a pair of pig socks, the Miranda book, a red polka dot dressing gown and a day off cat-litter-tray-cleaning-duty from iliketocount, and a notepad from Travelling Hopefully)
and eating Ferrero Rocher for breakfast, I said I’m going for a birthday run, do you want come with me? thus completely forgetting how much I hate running with other people. As far as I’m concerned, socialising should be kept for the pub.
But, anyway, he said yes and so we went out for a rainy run. It did mean I got to wear my new Howies running top. It’s made from merino wool so it’s nice and warm. When it arrived, I thought it was too nice to be worn for running and I quite fancied wearing it with jeans to the pub (although not tonight as birthdays are dresses days). After putting it on though, it’s a bit too see-through to wear as normal clothes – if you look closely, you can see my belly button (this also acts as a warning to not look too closely if you don’t want to see my belly button).
The run was wet. My feet got soaked. iliketocount tried to loop off and catch me back up until I reminded him of the ‘with’ bit of ‘running with me’.
So, the presents have been opened, the run has been done, the dress is on – time for the pub!
Happy Birthday 🙂
Thanks!

Lovely Howies top, looks great. Howies is local to me and if I remember I get to go to their sample sale when it’s on. Fab!

Happy Birthday!
Ooooh funky top – merino wool is far too posh to run in though surely?
Happy birthday! 🙂
Just went onto the Ume toys site and I have to say that I am impressed. Definitely going to enquire about some of the items. Hope you had a nice birthday and here is wishing you a fantastic new year.
