Sunshine.
This is one aspect of living in America that I took for granted for many years and miss dearly since my move to the UK. Of course, the sun shines here, just not as often or for as long as I would like. I found myself racing home yesterday after work to retrieve handsome man 'o mine from the train station and hurriedly making our way home to catch some rays from our back garden. Keys down, work clothes off, sunglasses, magazines and folding lounge chairs out - and for an entire hour we basked in the sun. It was glorious.
Today is overcast with strands of sunshine at times however, the sun is trailing in the distance as I type. Luckily, I have the day off and a much needed morning stroll along the high-street and a stop for Starbucks coffee was a priority. It is a all a part of my 'stress free before IVF treatment' plan. I'm heading out again for some much needed stress free shopping in a few. Ok, so I don't really need an excuse to shop.
Speaking of stress free, we leave for Czech Republic next month to meet my lovely fertility doctor and have some routine tests. It is quickly approaching and hard to believe that September is just around the corner. I am more excited than ever.
Last weekend my good friend Rach and I completed a 5k cancer research run. It was amazing and I know my Aunt Millie would have been proud. It was a surreal experience as it has been for the last three years I have taken part. It feels good to know I have made such a positive contribution to a terrific cause. I wish I had gotten involved years ago.
May the sun shine on you today!
