The half-term continues and amazingly the weather continues to impress too. Further east\u00a0in the country people are complaining of the cold, wet, miserable weather, but here in the west it has been gorgeous for ages now. Sunshine from 4 am until the sun sets at around 9:30pm and temperatures up into the 20’s everyday. Wind sometimes from the north or east in the morning then swinging around to the west or northwest in the afternoon as a sea breeze kicks in and, as you’ve seen from recent blogs,\u00a0sometimes strong enough for windsurfing<\/a>, but other times as calm as could be. Just perfect.<\/p>\n

The main problem is getting Morgan out of the house to enjoy it though. I don’t know what’s wrong with the boy? I’ve offered, swimming, playing on the beach, kiting, windsurfing, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, mountain biking, canoeing, riding our bikes and building a ramp in the car park, walking, trying to find some low flying jets in the hills on the Mach Loop, snorkelling, fishing, gardening, beekeeping but none of it seems to appeal. He just wants to sit at home either playing on his computer or reading his book. I do of course force him out now and then, but sometimes it’s just more trouble than it’s worth and easier to leave him to it. Although, this does mean that I can be stuck at home a little as well.<\/p>\n

Anna was off work on Thursday though so with extra ‘baby-sitting’ services it turned into my kind of day.<\/p>\n

As usual I was up early at around 4am and so had a little bit of time as the sun rose to catch up with some work. Not too much though as this was the holidays, so just a few website tweaks and keeping up with the steady flow of emails that need answering. I then headed off for an early morning run whilst Anna was\u00a0still in bed. Morgan was up by 6am though and was already on his computer.<\/p>\n

Running in the hills behind Borth<\/h2>\n

It was still quite cool at around 10\u00baC which is perfect for running. The sun was shining, the winds were light and the run was lovely. I was originally going to do some hill reps on a hill behind Dolybont, but when I got there decided to go right to the top of the hill rather than stop and go back down, just so that I could see the views out over the bog.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
