um 🎄
I like the way you even got your shoes to match.
I'm happy now I can refuse any such fancy dress invites. "Sorry, no red & white shoes".

Morning folks. It's absolutely chucking down here, so I'm delaying my run and making chutney instead. Just got to dig out some recipes and go to Tesco, which happens to be in Berkshire but right on the boundary of Surrey and Hampshire.

Actually that also makes choosing a run route a bit restrictive.

Morning ! Love the fancy dress 😊
Sorry to hear your sad news Caz, just awful .
The ballet last night was Ok, but they cut out a lot and had to change other bits since they were dancing in a different theatre from normal with a much smaller stage. A first timer may not have not noticed but as it's part of our family Christmas tradition, we all did! Better than nothing though.
I will run in a bit, then do some housework.

Tomorrow we are going to an outdoor crib service at one of the local country churches. I passed it running the other day and saw their poster "wrap up warm, bring a deckchair, wear a mask". Since our local church is doing no carol services, nativity or anything, this seems a good alternative. We *will* continue our traditions, one way or another!!

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
