I love it now it's spring and everything is green, and it's actually warm! Day off work today and with a lack of anything to do I decided to skip the gym and go for a run in the great outdoors. I drove round to Saltram (incidently where Sense and Sensibility was filmed) and ran alongside the estuary with a walking break too - I only actually ran properly for the first time last week so I'm not getting ahead of myself yet! I walked back along the higher bit, stopping to do some lunges, starjumps and push ups against a tree - much to the amusement of the cows in the field. I find it amazing there is a place like this about 1.5miles from my house, given my house is slap bang in the middle of urban Plymouth.
There was so much life out there - lots of bluebells and primroses, brand new and slightly furry leaves on the trees and lots of other flowers coming out into bloom. I also stopped to have a look at the pond and there were ducklings - awwwww!! I'm definitely going to have to head out there more often.
Haven't actually done much else. Went to Sainsbury's on the way home to pick up bagels and ended up coming out with a bikini top, cider and a DVD - argh! I'm so twitchy to spend at the moment. I ordered £90 worth of stuff on the DP website as they have a 20% thing going on, though I'm not sure how the dresses will look on so I'll prob end up sending half back. I have also finally treated myself to Torchwood series 2 on DVD so can catch up on that as I missed the last series entirely because I was off backpacking. There's still so much more I want to buy as well but I'm trying desperately to be good!!
I believe tomorrow I will have been back in the UK for exactly 1 year. Sad times :(
