I am a melon and life has given me another melon. ๐Ÿคฃ 30 mins into that run on Sunday I was taking some pain. Torn ligaments in and around the ankle and the left side of the foot and popped my calf. Minor Injuries were great. I am smiling though as life is jolly good.

Time is a healer. I completely forgot my father died 21 years ago today.@SuzanneRoper13 my sister just reminded me. He had cancer. I went back to Leeds to see him in the hospital. We talked for 20 mins. We shook hands. I walked away knowing he would die a day or two later. I got shitfaced. He loved a curry. Time does move on.
