Wed nes day

Wednesday 11 May 2022 It was a lovely morning to wake up to and once again the immediate question was 'what day us it?' My running wife sent an early message to meet around 1pm so it gave me some time to get my car washed, sort out technical stuff at the China Mall and float around the mall before we met. I say float, because my shoes are extremely slippy in mall floors so I end up feeling like I'm on an ice rink side sliding my feet from shop to shop. I despise buying shoes. In my life I have given away brand new shoes far too often because they feel completely different outside the shop.  I get one comfortable pair and wear them with everything all season. No colour coordination here!


The lunch meeting was great, because Turn and Tender have a R50- a steak, lunch special on and Marlene was glowing from her recent marathon qualifier. We talked running for a while and a part of me still feels surprised by the runner part of me, even though it's been very scarce of late. I haven't started packing yet as I'm still wearing the clothes I am taking on my trip. I have a sort-of list and today I realised that I haven't bought any gifts to take over. I'm afraid it's likely to stay that way as I intend travel as light as possible.  I will bring some sunshine with me, that will be my gift, lol!
