The greyness of London

A London day today.  I got out for my run - intended to do 4 - did 5.75 in the end (annoyed that it isn't 6), did an old favourite and loved it.  London was at its finest greyness in the drizzle (great running weather though!) 

The eldest has come home with a great report for his reading and is moving up a level - so delighted for him, his reading is so lovely these days and it's such a pleasure to watch him fall in love with reading (he takes a book to bed each night after bedtime stories). 

Had a lovely chat this evening with a colleague who, it turns out is engaged to 'Polar Preet' - she's worth a google for her Christmas achievement.  Apparently the wedding needs to fit in between the next polar expedition. 

Today I'm grateful for: 
The eldest going into school with a real sense of positivity today after a couple of months of being very clingy
The eldest for his determination with his reading
The running challenge - it's doing the world of good
