Today I woke to find the weather was just perfect for running.

Warm ,cloudy, a little sun and a cool breeze.

Perfect for doing my 6 miles.

I so wanted to do this before I go to meet Geoff in lima and time is running out.

So this morning while sat in the hairdressers I was thinking about nothing but running.

My hair dresser was not pleased when she found out I was planning to run after an expensive hair do 🙂

Now I can happily say I did the 6 miles easily in 1 hour and 5 min’s and it feels fantastic.

My treat for doing this was a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich which has never tasted better

The plans for my big adventure in Peru have changed.

I will now be staying out there an EXTRA week and flying back with Geoff on the 5th July.

Geoff sprung this idea to me on Thursday night …..

It threw me into a blind panic as I imagined if I could not get the extra week off Geoff  would  just abandon me in the middle of Peru and leave me to find my own way home 🙁

All is well though as I have the extra week and have now changed the flights too.

The plan is to go to Bolivia after the Inca trail and bike down the Road of Death although I am not sure I will be going at 80km per hour.

The only sad thing is that I will now be away for my sons 21st birthday…  but as he said we can celebrate that any time  🙂

Geoff went to the Panama hat factory today in Cuenca.

Now he is really teasing me… one of the hats on the table below, he bought for me ,but which one was it ?

15 days till I get out to Lima and find out which hat is mine 🙂

When I saw these Red sunglasses I just had to have them to go with my Red shoes.

They were only £10 from John Lewis ,a real bargain 🙂

Now I just need a hat 🙂

Less than 4 weeks now till I go off to meet Geoff in Lima, to say I am getting excited is an understatement 🙂

I have had my ups and downs but then that’s quite normal I suppose and as someone pointed out to me… Its only human to miss your Boyfriend.

This is an update on the projects I set myself when Geoff went travelling.

Just back from a 44 min run…  the longest route I have done so far, I expected it to take me longer than 44 min’s which means I must be getting fitter.

Even if I just do it once I have to find a route that will take me about 60 min’s give or take a min or two.

I have now lost 8 lb of the 10lb I wanted to lose and feel fantastic for doing so 🙂

As for Sex in the City well I am now on Disk 7 out of 18 and enjoying every second.

I have also watched some great films.. The chorus, The boy in the stripped pyjamas and Cheri, this weekend it will be The Kite Runner.

Sundays you will have found me out walking anything from 12 to 16 miles, and Mondays you will have found me at the pool doing my half a mile.

When it comes to reading and making cards I have failed miserably but I am not going to beat myself up over this 🙂

Thanks to a random remark on Twitter last week about an Aeroccino.

I discovered a way to get one of these wonderful little machines with out having to go the whole hog and get the expensive coffee machine too.

It was delivered to my door during the week.

Where as some people enjoy a glass of wine in the evening I can now enjoy a real cappuccino at home.

Today I even found some chocolate sprinkle to finish it off just perfect.

Now I think I might have to buy a cow to supply the huge amount of milk we suddenly seem to be using.

Geoff’s  California Lilac or Ceanothus shrub is now in full bloom and looking beautiful ….

Yesterday for many reasons was a bad day for me.

Boy trouble, customer trouble, Fish trouble all made worse as I was tired after staying up far too late waiting for Geoff  to call ( how i hate the 7 hour time difference )

All I needed was a cuddle but even I could not run to the Galapagos Islands 🙂

Then in the evening I went round to see my friend @cloudgazer her aim was to cheer me up.

Well she certainly managed that…  she has a new hoopla hoop, after a few lessons I was away ..  its far easier doing it for real than on the wii-fit, and far more effective too.

Laughter really is the best medicine 🙂

I now have a hoopla hoop on order too.

More Photos can be seen here…

My run of bad luck did not end there..  Geoff called me on skype and we had a lovely chat , its great to hear all about his adventures, its as good as reading a book 🙂

Then his call crashed my laptop and un-till now I have been unable to load the settings, it kept saying I had a corrupt file .

As you can imagine I was frantic but when I awoke this morning I had email from Geoff (thank god for phones ) he suggested I did a systems restore and now after an hour of fiddling I have my settings back and can get into my laptop.

After having such a bad day its amazing how much you appreciate things more 🙂
