No one told me when I started running 6 weeks ago that there would be RAIN!!!

I started my Couch to 5K challenge in soft Spring sunshine. Plodding along, I drank in lush, April air to distract me from the fact my feet felt like concrete, my knees were complaining and my asthmatic wheezy lungs were squeezing in and out like a defective pair of bellows.

Regardless of this, what ever the context – being out side was lush.

But that was then.  Here and now it’s RAINING: So that’s cold, wet, water falling from the sky.

WhatEVER… the hardcore keep fitters are still out there in the wet stuff, blazing through the monsoon like svelte athletic sylphs…

And I’M out there too…, sweaty, red faced and managing (just about), to put one foot in front of the other…

Basically, it was just me and the sheep out there today and even THEY were keeping a respectable social distance.  In fact they were totally Baad Ass about it…

I got home from my run and my breath back, in time to do a live broadcast about my book ‘Peachey Letters’ with 2 other authors from the same publishing house.

And as well as discussing our books, our publisher told us / the world that Kindle sales have sky-rocketed in the past couple of months.

One of the reasons for the broadcast was that my book Peachey Letters – Love Letters to Life – a gorgeous gathering of the best posts on this blog, is part of special Kindle promotion at my publisher is running.  You can grab it – May only – for just £1.99 / $2.49 – at Peachey Letters: Love Letters to Life 

As well as hitting a 5KM run, I’ve also set myself the challenge of hitting 100 reviews for my book on Amazon.  I’m delighted to say they are starting to roll in already and there’s now only 79 to go (she says with a combination of irony / fear / gratitude).

And after all the excitement of running and book promoting, I still managed to have a duvet day, (I need to work on my down time – I find doing NOTHING extremely difficult).

Once the sun slipped over the yard arm, I ordered a take away curry to be delivered.  This made me ridiculously excited, since it was the first meal I hadn’t cooked for myself in over 6 weeks…

But THEN I was told there would be a 2 hour wait for delivery…

So, decided not to be a grump about it and that the extra long anticipation would mean that I would enjoy it all the more when it FINALLY flipping well arrived.

But wait to do in the meantime though… Sing? Snack? Invent time travel…?

Actually I went onto Facebook and found an old friend from Uni I’ve been searching for, for decades! Hurrah! We had a lovely long catch up, shared some old pics and promised to meet the other side of the Corona curfew.

And THEN, 2 hours & 15 minutes later, there was curry!

Yours greedily,
Sandra

PS: If YOU’RE waiting for anything at the mo – you can download my book in seconds, read it in a few hours, then review it in a couple of minutes….  Er – did I mention that I’m currently promoting my book Peachey Letters..?
