What to watch on TV this Christmas

I really miss running when I take days off due to illness. When I take days off due to injury that feels different, like I am taking the time off with a purpose to come back better. I suppose I should think of illness in a similar way – but I don’t. I see days […]
No fabulous sunrise this morning just an equally fabulous spooky morning mist. I’m also feeling much better for a long night’s sleep as well 😁 • • • • • #goodmorning #mist #spooky #spookymist #morningmist #northyorkshire #ryedale #dailyphoto #dadbloggers #silhouette #tree http://ift.tt/2BGwPNt
