100 Days of Wonder – #74
I have nothing today so here’s an Animal Kingdom Hippo simply because I like hippos.

100 Days of Wonder – #73
Here’s me in September 2017 on a sun lounger at the Contemporary Resort. It was 31degrees C and I was a very happy Jess. This wasn’t my original plan for today’s photo but it feels like I need to remind myself that rest and escapism and hopefully some warm sun is coming.

We’ve just got back from a lovely few days in Hamburg but I wouldn’t call them restful and our return journey was made more stressful by motorway closures which meant a detour into the unknown and significant delay getting home.
I was looking for a photo that would make me smiles, give you all a break from Christmas stuff and provide a promise of warm and calm. I can almost feel the sun on my skin looking at the photo and finding it and writing this post have made me pause long enough to remember that I don’t have to log onto work email tonight to get ready for the work day tomorrow- that’s tomorrow’s job. Tonight is just about enjoying my evening off, reflecting on the last few days, getting more excited about how close the Disney trip now is and getting to bed early.
Happy Tuesday Evening.
100 Days of Wonder -#72
I have been drawn to water today. Just as well really because it’s been pretty rainy. I’m also thinking about the marathon weekend I’ll be participating in in a month’s time. So here’s a picture of Epcot and the lake which I am actually looking forward to running round. I was thinking about that today as we plodded around the Alster in a rainy and windy Hamburg. I don’t feel particularly ready for the marathon weekend but today the run went well and there was no drama and some of it I actually really enjoyed. So I’m channeling my joy of running round bodies of water into the rest of my training and am keeping my fingers crossed for a bit of magic on the day.
