Birthday and Christmas - fabulous present

Had a wonderful early Christmas and birthday present yesterday from my parents-in-law.  A new laptop to replace the one which died in August.   So now no more using everyone else's computers.  I am so grateful!!!

Haven't run for a couple of days as my hip has been a little sore.  Hope to go out in the morning and do 6.2 miles and then do a forest run on Sunday morning.   Bit behind schedule on the running front. Did a lot of walking around the village yesterday - walked 7yos to his choir, 11yod to her pantomime dress fitting, then walk back home for 15 minutes, then walk to a meeting a 7yos's choir, then walk up to the swimming pool to pick 11yod from her swimming club.  It is good to be busy -  Been doing quite a lot of sewing as trying to get some presents made for Christmas. 
On Wednesday we travelled 50 miles to the nearest ice skating rink as there was a home education group meeting there.  The children really enjoy ice skating and it is always good to see their home educating friends.  There were a number of new families there which is nice. It's always good to see everyone.  One of the families have parents who are also runners and they are in our running club.  The mum was telling me that she has entered her first ultra marathon next year - the Highland Fling, which is one that Rick has run twice.  I am really impressed.  It's a great day out, even if you are just supporting and I hope she has a really good time.
