Wake up and smell the coffee....

You know those mornings when you want to leap out of bed and grab the day with both hands?
No it doesn`t happen to me *that* often, either...but it did today.

After all that rain, including a veritable monsoon yesterday which made many a shoe squelch, sunbeams were curling round the curtains today and so my morning mile was just after 7 am.

It was already warm, as it bloody well should be in July, and as ever, the going was pretty slow (yes, coach, I know I shouldn`t attempt it on half a coffee and no tea the night before...) but it was gorgeous out there!

I stopped on the bridge which crosses the Severn and took this. And I`m so energised now, I`m going to have a shower, sit down, and write.

Whatever the weather...hope your day is fab.

Ten good reasons to love the rain...with MUSIC!

1) If you go running; you have an excuse not to: the puddles and stuff.
2) It`s so cold, you need cake.
3) You can put the heating back on *even though it`s April*. (Just)
4) You can feel all smug and cosy when it`s hammering down on your roof.
5) You don`t have to wash the car. Pointless at all times, especially now.
6) It waters the garden and the farmers` crops (yeh ok, enough already)
7) You don`t have to ponce around in skinny summer vests just yet.
8) You don`t have to cut the grass.
9) Your kids` footie matches all get cancelled so you don`t get soaked on the sidelines.
10) You can snigger at the `Holidays at home are GREAT` ad campaign on telly.

Now shut up moaning about the weather and have these as a little musical hot water bottle from me to you.... just CLICK and singalong :)
