Hiya
For some reason 'blogspot' was not letting me in to my account in order to post a blog yesterday - they must have known that it was an exceptionally boring day and therefore would've been a boring blog. I'll leave it there.
Today I took dog to Pembrey Country Park for a mega-walk. We arrived just as it started belting down with rain but it's OK - I was testing out some of the kit I have acquired/bought recently so the rain was welcome. I had my little rucksack with my 'water-bladder' in it to keep me hydrated, (note to self - wash it out better next time - my water tasted of rubber. Messy.) a tub of mixed fruit, a mars bar, some crisps and my waterproofs. I will NOT be taking the waterproof jacket with me to China. Waterproof my arse! I will however be taking the new Bridgedale socks and old Ripcurl trousers I was wearing. Anyhoo - got 'waterproofed' up and headed out. Within seconds of being out in the elements the rain turned to hail the size of maltesers, the wind picked up and a thunderstorm ensued. Dog was proper scared of the thunder at first but she soon got used to it. It hail/rained for the first 20 minutes we were out and I got soaked. However, within 5 minutes of the rain stopping my fab Ripcurl trousers totally dried out and all was well with the world. Until dog rolled in poop. Why? Why? WHY?!
Well we walked for 4 hours and having got home and looked on a map at the route we took, I estimate it to be approximately 10 miles. Go me. My big toe on my left foot is feeling a little tender but there's no blister. Another 3 miles and I'd have a cracker I reckon. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good. I could do with crashing out on the sofa now (like what dog has) but alas, I have to mop my kitchen floor. *sigh* To coin my cousins phrase: My life is average.
