Morning! My knees are telling me they don't want to run 26 miles, Dipps, but we'll ignore knees and feet shall we? ;-)

Rain has gone through here but still very breezy indeed - will be fine for the dog walk though, dogs are allowed back on the main beach as from today :-)

Morning! Duvet day here since I start a run of night shifts tonight. Ugh! Will go back to sleep for a while later.

I have nothing but admiration for the marathoners, I can't imagine running that far, and while a teeny part of me would relish the challenge, the rest of me would struggle fitting in all the training. Good luck to you all xx

There's quite a few here (white wallabies, not marathoners) - someone next door to my physio has about 6 in a field.
(worth about £2-£3000 each, apparently)

And this morning my farmer friend has just whatsapped me a picture she took today! Nowhere near as close as I was and tbh it's not overly obvious what it is, but she has seen Colin (the escapee's name) as well. At least we think it's Colin. I mean, how many white wallabies roam the Warwickshire countryside??
