Trying to get some kind of routine going again for writing, running, gardening and - quite basically - anything apart from sitting down and watching ‘Judge Judy’ all day. Off for a run with this girl soon. 🏃🏻🐕
I, unashamedly, adore this song. Better Best Forgotten - Steps

Another run up the mountain with my best friend. 🐕🏃🏻

I had a bit of time away on a writer’s retreat in beautiful Connemara this weekend. 📝📷
I forgot to have a nap today.
20 years married today. I’m a lucky man.
