Cracking Wake Up Call

Well, up much earlier than normal today but not because of anything Rupert related (well not really) but we had some rather hefty thunderstorms and lightening this morning at around 5 am which woke me up and kept me awake.

So instead of being restless in bed I decide to get up because I need a shower and I am a little concerned for Rupert because of all the crashing and banging and rumbles of thunder, let alone the flashes of lightning and whip cracking strikes zipping around the sky. So far though I've not heard a peep out of him so I get washed and dressed and head downstairs.

I'd really shouldn't have worried about Rupert because he was sound asleep when I came downstairs totally oblivious to everything. He even went out for his morning business and was quite happy rooting around in the garden with big huge raindrops falling all over him and what sounded like a heavy metal concert playing all around him.

I nip out to the gym in the late morning, I'm not sure if it's going to be open though because our hometown is on the news because of the flash flooding and lots of buildings being under water but as luck has it (if you see it that way) the gym was open so I got on and had another crack at my new regime. I'm doing well on it and my heart rate is well down now when I'm doing my 20 minute run (this is something I can only get an accurate reading on when the weather isn't too hot because I seem to flake out with anything over 25 degrees).

Other good news today is that I can fit into a pair of old jeans that haven't see the light of day for about 2 years now and I've thrown another pair out because they are just too big (the ones I've been living in since forever) and I also had to wave good bye to a pair that I bought while I was in the states because like the others they kept falling down.

All in all a fairly good day, shame about the weather.
