Morning all.
A 6.3 from the meter of mirth.
Day out yesterday, with the furry nephew.
Glorious, warm & sunny
Traffic minimal as we headed out.
Which lulled me into trying to park in one of the two car parks ..no chance
Parked outside and headed in
People everywhere, when we got in, all enjoying the sun shine.
But it thinned out as we set off on our usual route, so pleasant & safe
A walk for the dog with added therapeutic qualities for me.
Last time there, with daughter, far fewer people but it was just after I'd started walking independently after accident, so a good moment to check improvements.
Walking was fine over the undulating ground, articulation of both ankle joints good.
While I certainly wouldn't consider running on such ground at moment ( not that I'm running anywhere yet, anyway
)
I felt good about how little the terrain bothered me.
Another step on the road back, it felt.
A small picnic by a little stream that runs through the park, topped off a rather nice day out.
@lindisfel .
We both noticed a particular bird, in the water as we picnicked.
It was a very distinctive plumage
probably very common, but a new one to us.
Perhaps as our resident 'twitcher' I wonder if you'd be kind enough to name it for us ?
If it helps, It had a very distinctive swim style.
Almost like some sort of interconnected wooden toy, where it's "kick" in the water synchronised with its head, so it seemed it was the "nodding" that supplied the motion.
