The weather gods were obviously in a good mood today as we woke up to fine weather which lasted the full day. I was in a lazy mood when I got up and mooched about in my dressing gown longer than was necessary. When I got myself together I had light breakfast and watched the Great North Run for a while and marveled at the fitness and tenacity of the everyday runners, I also was hoping for a glimpse of Jenny Pike who was running in aid of Eden Valley Hospice in memory of her daughter Anna. She did extremely well by getting round in 3 hrs 24 mins.
I then had a run across to Gretna Gateway to get some footwear for the up and coming holiday next weekend to Bulgaria with George & Kenny. When I got home I put on my cycling togs and had a leisurely pedal round the usual route via The Bloch and Claygate.
In the evening George, Kenny and myself had planned to go out of town for a meal. George kindly drove us all out to The Powfoot Hotel where In my opinion the best food is being served in the area at the moment at a more than reasonable price, and in delightful surroundings and a view over the Solway Firth from the dining area which is quite stunning.
