ELY

Tomorrow the rat race gets me back with a vengeance so today I was being wholesome: buying veg, running errands, happening upon the cathedral, eating a Chelsea bun by the river, replacing my running trainers and resisting the urge to have cereal for dinner (as usual).

I've had a runny nose for over 2 weeks and it's starting to get a little annoying. I shall not let it be an excuse for slobbish Christmas behaviour to continue.
