Last week was one long week.

One which I’ve sleep walked through dreaming of white sandy beaches, gently lapping waves and divine ice cream. I still haven’t dug myself out of my holiday mindset and the glorious weather here isn’t helping, it just makes me want to sip G&Ts in the sunshine. The thought of descending into the dark, hot, smelly pit of the gym is not appealing and it’s way too hot to be running round the steamy streets. Tomorrow…

I’ve been doing less sunbathing and more swimming. Took a dip in the ocean yesterday and after I got used to the cold, the larger than I’d like waves and an over active imagination that envisioned monsters, sharks and other underwater scaries, I loved it. I’ve also been walking along the beach which is a far nicer exercise than being stuck in the gym. I was imagining romantic strolls at sunset, but the Boy is usually either having a nap or hitting the bar just as the sun is sinking beneath the ocean, so it’s mostly me wandering wistfully on my own, safe in the knowledge that I’m walking off that jelly belly.
