Talk about the weather...

It's the weekend of the big event. Last Monday turned out to be a washout weatherwise. My walking practice was confined to a walk across town in search of some lotion for my mother. Four pharmacies had been unable to supply it and I was assured that the town's largest retail chemist would surely have it in stock....in fact there was none on the shelf, but eventually the pharmacist remembered seeing a soltary bottle somewhere in the back stock room. So not an entirely fruitless journey!

The weather's really swung round since then and the last couple of days have been so hot, My body's reacting in the usual way to a sudden change of weather with achy joints and muscles - thanks - just what I need right now! Still - 36 hours to go - a lot could happen....somehow I think I might find it harder going this year....but I'm determined to complete the course!
