Cerys hated being single. Her job in the library meant she met lots of people, but there was never time to form a friendship with anyone.
A change was long overdue.
The notice about the Park Run seem to jump off the wall to her on Monday morning. She read it carefully and decided she would enter, typing in the web address before she could change her mind.
The following Saturday, she joined hundreds of others on the start line. ‘Good luck’ said the man standing next to her, giving her a gentle push as they set off, together.

Better mood this week… so fed up of the doom and gloom the ‘B’ word is bringing to everything and everyone I speak to, be glad when it’s finally sorted.
Thanks as always to Fairy Blogmother Rochelle where would we be without her…

A gentle push in the right direction is exactly what she needs. As for the B word………..it’s banned in my local! Oh joy!

Made me think at first of Marion the Librarian in “The Music Man” 🙂 I like the friendliness that has already been offered as she starts her new life.

Lovely, feelgood story. (I’m sure my low level depression is solely due the B word, but how to escape it? The aftermath won’t be any better.)

Thank you Susan. I think the situation with the B word has upset everyone, not least because politicians are acting for self not their constituents, if they were there would have been a huge cross party effort to resolve the issue.

Being in the library, Cery’s could have made friends with books. But men are not bad, as long as they don’t disappoint.
