[Sweder]

Gosh, the 4th already and I'm just getting into the month.

Two outings to report, the first a cracking run with Ladyrunner who, despite her catalogue of ailments still managed to leave me for dust in my own beloved hills. We took our dogs along, Amber, a rather fit and lively member of the Pointer family, attached to Jules via a waistband-lead assembly. This gave her the bonus of being dragged up the inclines as I laboured behind, the walls of my lungs sticking together like heavily pasted sheets of wallpaper as I struggled to keep up.

Another BlackCap today, somewhat slower but enjoyable for all that.
The weather is delightfully moribund, ideal for workmanlike sessions in the downs. Autumn dances with winter, although the latter's enterage is clearly missing its' most notable member, Cold. I'm reliably informed Cold is on her way. Good job too; Wet and Windy were a little out of sorts today.
