It may not sound all that impressive, but, on Thursday, I was congratulating myself for having recorded 24,647 steps, a little over over 8 miles. Returning home from Hurdlow, Parsley Hay and beyond, having rested for an hour or so, and its being still light as darkness falls progressively later, there was nothing to stop me setting off again. A gentle stroll along the section of former railway visible from where I live, was the order of Thursday evening. The pictures below act as a reminder of that evening’s wanderings.
Yesterday (Friday), and just as I had anticipated, my energy levels felt depleted. It was still dry and bright outside, but also on the cool side, but, with what felt like some effort, I still just managed to achieve my modest step target. My energy levels felt depleted on Saturday also. Still dry but cool, my lunchtime walk took me past the Parks Inn where I enjoyed a most delicious Cajun chicken and rice luncheon. Walking home was an effort, but by even-tide, I felt rejuvenated and walked a two mile circuit.
Sunday evening 25/4/21, 21.42hrs.
I attended church this morning and enjoyed coffee afterwards in the rather cool grounds of the Pavilion Gardens. I had hoped to walk to church, but my complicated Sunday morning routine was disturbed and I just couldn’t get my act together. It had also turned even colder, so I probably would have driven down anyway.
Roger, “over the road” prepared a delicious Chinese style lunch, following which I was introduced to yet more of the local and lovely countryside on a three mile walk.
After a “brew” and biscuits at my place, the rest of Sunday was spent “chilling out”.
Tomorrow sees the start of another week, and hopefully the usual continuance of cataloging, decluttering and reorganising. The week will fly by even more quickly than last week, and soon, I will be documenting the next weekend.
Many thanks for reading, David 22.37hrs Sunday 25th April 2021.
