New running trousers

Spring in Scotland is a funny time of year for running. It's not quite warm enough for shorts, but most winter trousers are too heavy-weight. Until yesterday I had just one pair of mid-weight trousers, which I also use for cycling. They are wearing really thin now, so yesterday I popped out and bought two pairs of new black trews, modelled here.

In other news:

1. I frightened myself awake early this morning with a nightmare and was so traumatised by what I dreamt that I couldn't get back to sleep again. I dreamt that some trivia that I had posted to a blog had been mistakenly taken seriously and as a result someone had died.
2. I received an e-mail today which informed me that I have been nominated by the students for a teaching award at work. Given that in my current role I only teach half a module for a third of the year, I was really chuffed with this news. I wonder which little darling(s) took the trouble to put my name forward?
3. A colleague and I met an article deadline this afternoon.
4. I thought I'd finished off my weekend ration of wine last night but happily discovered a glass left in the bottle after I came back from my run tonight. Guess what I am drinking now?
