After dropping Frankie off at school for his keeping in touch session, Judy and I took Hector for a long walk in the forest. We'd arranged our work schedules around doing this. It's a rare treat for us

Doing some walking / jogging / running by alternating between the three. Mainly walking, to get back into the swing of things ready to restart C25K. Discovered a fair bit of tightness in the groin and

Since Then... Part One So a brief catch-up is in order. Let's skip through the last two years on fast forward. (This is a highly indulgent post, a bit like a diary post but out in the open. Skip it if

I guess that I was a long time on that horse I posted about getting back on, two years ago. I'm pleased to be back just when Hive seems to be doing what I (and others) hoped that Steem would achieve. I

Saturday 14th April 2018 A lovely dog walk in the morning and suddenly it feels like Spring! I had forgotten what it felt like for the sun to warm me right through to my bones. Walking through the forest

Friday 13th April 2018 This edition of The Daily is a bit 'late' because I didn't want to be up too late last night finishing it all off. I have been fortunate in that I have prepared and published most
