Earlier this morning :
Alarm rang; dressed quickly; said good-bye to Amy (still curled up on her heated rug!); gave her a treat for no reason other than that I was leaving! So dark, cold and foggy; not another car on the road; street lights still on.
Briars car park deserted.. except for me! Jump out, start warm-up jog 15 minutes; return to car park - still empty! Had I got the day wrong? Was it really Saturday? Yes, yesterday was Friday and tomorrow is Sunday so it must be Saturday! Where is everyone? Should be arriving by 7:45am ... as I thought it was! Check Garmin time -- panic, fright, dismay - it was 6:45am! I'd got up at 5:15am; Briars at 6:30am; finished warm-up at 6:45am!!
Mortified and with egg on my face, back into the car where I lay low,
emerging 30 minutes later to start the warm-up all over again!
It is now but not at the time!
