12 degrees warmer

An unplanned morning at the gym, several classes had spaces, unusual for the weekend, and I fitted in a balance class, my weekly strength schedule, and a 20 minute fast run on the treadmill. Quite satisfying.

Two other positives today. The lights on the Kelpies are working, although they couldn’t guarantee this will be the case on St Andrew’s Day; and my favourite jumper which I thought I’d irretrievably shrunk in a wash yesterday ( I followed the instructions to the letter), now dry is a cosy fit and has a pleasing boiled wool softness. I just need to keep tugging on the sleeves which are far too short.

I took a precautionary blip as I got out of the car after the gym, which came in handy.
