The hotel breakfast had all manner of colourful juices, a green one, a pink one, and an orange one. I love healthy juices. I am easily pleased… A run in a sunny park, with bright blue skies, tranquility in the centre of a city at rush hour, and then home to colourful juices; what more…

Anadi and I have just wandered back bathed in blue from above; such a vivid azul that the sky feels touchable, so bright and clear and expansive… Today we rose rather early as the race start was at 8.30am, and even two days back in the UK had adjusted my body clock somewhat, so it…

Saturday… We are in Valencia, it has a lovely feel, wide streets and bright blue skies… We arrived and had our second breakfast in a traditional Spanish bar… Our first was Easy Jet porridge at early o clock, and then tostados con aceite y tomate at civilised Spanish breakfast o clock… I love the feel…

Another plane blog… I am flying off to Lanzarote with Anadi for Christmas… Eighteen days in the UK has passed in a blink of an eye, and yet landing at Gatwick two and a half weeks ago, feels now like it might have been five years ago. And when I met up with my godbrother…

I like my Hilton home; It is very comfortable indeed. I love my 24 hour gym, right on my doorstep. I love feeling warm all the time, the deep hot bath, and the huge bed with clean sheets. It feels almost like my ‘checking in’ point; where Anadi and I return to get further instructions…

If I had wanted to draw attention to myself, I have certainly discovered the way! Especially as we woke to another wild wet day and therefore the people on the ferry were the first to look aghast, or interested and curious as I padded happily across the wet car deck – it wasn’t cold at…

A rainy windy run today! In fact it was quite cold… Especially half way round when I was running into the wind, with the rain tumbling down… I gave myself the out to take the left hand road, that was coming soon at the bottom of the hill – if I wanted to – which…

My perfect morning… We woke to blue skies and sunny warm; a complete change to yesterday… And at the top of a vista looking over to Ramla Bay, a glorious rainbow arced over us with magic in its beauteous curve. And after running around my 10k loop feeling relaxed and strong and chatting away to…

Anadi hasn’t really slept for about thirty six hours, but he is looking very good on it… He does, he says, feel a bit spaced out, and is therefore saving having any alcohol until it doesn’t matter if he falls down…! The circle was completed at about 9am this morning… We had said goodbye to…

Anadi and I were ‘running across Gozo’ to Xlendi, all of 6 miles away… But we had arrived somewhere in the middle of the island, and definitely did not know which way to turn. A friendly lady gave us very clear directions and then said… ‘You’re barefoot’! By way of explanation I said ‘Yes, I…

The turquoise sea was our background music… The sound ever present, but ever soothing, gentle but wild… We sat the three of us on a terrace, the day warm, with only a slight chill from the grey clouds. But we were wrapped up warm and sat for three hours, eating talking sharing – enjoying the…

Today was a very exciting day! Maricarmen said that as a student I have now officially transitioned to intermediate level… There are three levels beginner, intermediate and advanced.. She went on to say so we won’t speak any English now, all Spanish… ? The funny thing is that I belong to a Spanish speaking online…
