A nothing week

Summer made a belated appearance in North Wales last week and its sods law that this coincided with a load of work problems and the Llanberis lurgy.....
I have learned many, many times over that when I'm stressed and ill I strangely want to climb things that are hard for me (because it feels like that might solve my other problems). This however normally ends up in tantrums and tears because however much my ego would like a boost, body and mind are just not up to it.

So last week I sensibly managed to stick to Vit C and Zinc, bouldering, running and sleeping.

There is dubious evidence that vit C has any effect once you have caught a cold, there is even less evidence it can cure work related stress.....
Bouldering included Sophie's continuing efforts to teach me how to top out properly, to avoid getting stuck in semi beached whale position as I often do.... Unfortunately I forgot to take any pics because they probably would have been quite funny, but progress was made and hamstrings destroyed.....


Energy levels somewhat recovered for a leisurely jog up Moel Elio, view towards the Llyn (?). The previous week in the same spot I was greeted by a herd of 15 Shetland ponies, how random!!

Way back down
Every time I come home there are more plants that look like tryphids in the garden....
Just goes to show, even in a nothing week, there are a few bits of something.....
