Sorry about yesterday’s rant –got a bit carried away there.
The ‘Grumpy Old’ persona is terribly seductive, and while it may be mildly amusing (and I appreciate only may be), it really is somewhat self-pitying and defeatist. Not what you’d call keeping interested, engaged and active, which is the main personal aim of the doing the challenge. So, no more mourning what’s gone, going ,or basically just not what it was, and a bit more rejoicing in what is or might be with a little clarity and effort.
Time to join the nation in positive thoughts!
More training this week-end – joining Sue & John in Torquay for 2 days of the South West Coastal Path (they’ve done about 493 miles on and off over the last 4 years). Stopped off on the A380 for toasted cheese sandwich and tea, just in time to watch the Happy Royal Couple leave the abbey and process back to the palace. Seriously impressed with the trees in the abbey!
Arrived early, so stopped off in Maidencombe for a little beach walking, then set a cracking pace exploring the steep streets of Torquay until we could get into the cottage. Bit of a misnomer – more like House and Gardens made flesh. Went to sleep in the princess bed – appropriate for the Special Day I thought.
