Thursday 4th Febrary.
I have my sister to thank for this! At the weekend, I was going through what I can only describe as the “lock-down three blues” We had a long phone-chat on Saturday afternoon, after which the symptoms of “cabin fever” receded substantially. One of her characteristically helpful suggestions was to resume walking every day, if only for just ten minutes. For two months, each day was too cold, too wet, or there was an east-wind which would behead you! I needed little incentive to stay indoors. There were mild days in December, and occasionally, I did leave the house, particularly on Sundays to attend church.
On Saturday 30th January, I resolved to walk for at least ten minutes, whatever the weather. In fact, I have reminded myself of the joys of last year when I would explore lovely places and expansive panoramas so very close to home.
This morning, a murky mist had descended and any view from home was obliterated by a thick light grey mist. “That should be interesting” I thought to myself; “I don’t need a view to get some fresh air.” (To be continued, the battery’s low! 18%).
