I did Hastings Half Marathon this morning.
I did it on a bit of a whim (probs should have prepared a bit...), so I wasn't in tip top form.
However, I was only 3 minutes slower than last time, (1 hour 57ish) so that wasn't too bad.
Absolutely loved it.
The meatballs were lush & i've tidied the kitchen.
Anyway, down to business. Do you want to hear about some books you can buy from me?
Of course you do.
I'm gonna give my mum a quick call first, but if you can hang on for say 20 minutes, we'll get onto all the book stuff, OK?
So today's been OK so far.
Saw the sun.
Sold some books.
Did all but two of the things on my to do list. I never seem to get these ticked off (buying a horse and eating so much cheese, I finally come up with a solution for world peace).
Meatballs for tea!
🎵Let's talk about books baby,
Let's hope you'll buy them from me.
Let's talk about all the good books,
You'll buy on this spending spree.
