We woke to the smell of smoke so thick we could taste it. A quick glance outside and all along the shore farmers had fires burning, with thick plumes of smoke being swept towards the ocean. Definitely not ideal running conditions.
We waited until mid morning by which time the fires were reducing, and took the pups for a long walk. The only negative being evidence of serious plastic land pollution as its completely integrated into the soil.
Still today was the epitome of Jaspers ideal day – sea, sticks, snoozing in the sun and plenty of treats.
Once home again the boys sat outside while Mabel and I deemed it too windy and snuggled up with a cup of tea. We are collaborating with a Canadian lady on an environmental project, so much of the afternoon was spent brainstorming and preparing for a hopeful relaunch in January. I will keep you posted with progress.
And of course by late afternoon my running coach Ernest was bouncy with energy again so we had a challenging 4mile run. My legs aren’t used to the trails lol.
This evening I have masses of coursework I should do if the internet remains, though I’d prefer to do some journaling or play games. Either way I’m looking forward to my bedtime choco tea and an early night.
Just as I write this we once again smell fire, the one closest to us has been burning all day, and having closed up the van…the smoke still infiltrates. We had seemingly got used to it when dissipated outside, but now its thickening in my nostrils. It seems we will have to move on from our camp spot in the morning.
