    It’s hot here today! Even when putting first load of washing out it was warm.

    I went for a run but have a pain in my ribs so ended up walking after a mile or so. Still it was lovely down by the river, lots of kids out in kayaks and canoes getting lessons. 

    Must go hang out the next load of washing, thought i would freshen up the bedding in the spare room.
