It was cool and cloudy enough that I was able to make it out on a walk today with Big Pud. The ending left a little to be desired though when one of my double-jointed ankles gave way when I walked over a little bump in the pavement. I've now got a grazed elbow, skinned hands, and sore wrists from where I landed!

What fun! How's your Monday going?

Dans ma tentative de désintoxication de BoardGameArena, j'ai retiré la page des onglets épingles de mon navigateur. #bga #j2s #onestepatatime

Have been really struggling this week. Primarily beginning of the week. Some very dark thoughts been going through my mind. Went to see therapist yesterday but time cut off just when we started getting to the crux of it - just my luck! Will see her again in a couple of weeks, but feeling a little better than I did on Monday 🙂 #mentalhealth #onestepatatime #adhd

I walked to work today, I reckon that’s bought us a day or two before climate disaster. #OneStepAtATime #ClimateDisaster

A hot one today with LIttle Pud to keep me company. We were both glad to get back home. She's down in the pool now to cool off.

Have a wonderful one.

I didn't take many photos today until nearing the end of my walk. Sometimes, it's not about the fresh air or the gorgeous views, but the monotonous movement of putting one foot in front of the other that gives you the space to sort through your thoughts. I did see a couple of deer.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

It was very warm this morning. I was dripping by the time I got home. I really couldn't cope with a walk later in the day, that's for sure.

Have a wonderful Monday. 💚

It was a quiet one this morning. I think everyone has had their Sunday Morning Lie-in! BUT I did see (at different times, don't worry) a wild hare and a fox!!! Of course, once they heard me chuffing along, with my walking boots on a stony trail, they soon scarpered.

Have a great Sunday!

My walk was cool and cloudy with a lovely breeze. They were cutting some of the grass in the Naturpark though, so I've got a few hives come up. What I love is that they cut what they need and leave the rest for the insects, bees, and butterflies.

Anyway, it's good to be back out! Have a brilliant Friday.

— “But everyone else is doing it, too! Whether I do it or don’t, doesn’t change a thing!”

— Well, if you stop doing it and then communicate that and why you stopped doing it, that might make others think — and possibly change their behaviour, too. This is true for any action, be it flying, owning a car, buying fast fashion, or using to-go cups with plastic lids.

Every personal decision to do better might set off a ripple effect that might lead to change on a societal, even global scale.

(This is not to say that we could possibly save the world with personal actions alone; that requires political decisions above all. But these are based on the overall public sentiment, which in turn can be influenced by each of us.)

A slow one this morning as I could feel my sciatica pulling every time I put my left leg down. Still, I carried on (although I was so very tempted to cut it short!) and made it all the way around. I went past the farm this morning too. The horses were there but the cows are out in a field somewhere. The sheep were happy on their hillock too.

Have a brilliant Sunday. 💙

A quiet one this morning; I think everyone was having a lie-in! Plus, I did the exact same walk as yesterday, but Strava recorded 1km less! Go figure 🤣

A gorgeous walk this morning.

The swallows and swifts have returned. I saw a flock of barn swallows over the meadows in the Naturpark and even managed to get one before it flew away. Go, me! 😆 The swifts haven't been dancing yet, but I can hear their screeches every morning and evening.

Have a brilliant Friday. 💕

Cloudy but very warm, humid, and still today. It almost feels like the calm before a storm. There is one forecast for this evening so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it actually happens!

Have a great Sunday, whatever you do.

Off out again this morning. My favourite part of the walk is through the woods with all the bird songs. Next to that is walking past the meadows, seeing the bees and butterflies flit from one wildflower to the next; with insects buzzing around, caring not one whit about the human in their midst.

I have now completed 50% of the H&M Move #HoweverYouMove Challenge!

Have a great Saturday!

My first walk of May and it seems as though everything has bloomed since I was last out on the 28th of April! Everywhere I look, I can see that fresh spring green, bright and vivid. I also saw lots of Orange-Tips today. They were lovely, fluttering about from flower to flower.

Have a brilliant Friday.

I went for a lovely ramble in the rain today! I got wet but who cares?! I only saw four other people - two dog walkers, one jogger, and one dude who looked like he was on his way to work. The rest of the time it was just me, bird song, and the sound of rain on my umbrella. Perfect!

Hope your Friday is brilliant.

I've just realised I didn't post my walk today! The horror!!! Anyway, here it is now.

It was sunny and cold this morning and the walking groups were out again. Still, they were soon gone and the bird song returned.

No walk tomorrow as it's Library Day, but I'll be back on Friday morning.

The weather was different to usual. Normally, because Schloßborn is in a valley, we get the mist and fog whilst Glashütten, which is higher up, gets the sun. Today that was swapped around, although the cloud is coming here now too.

I went a bit slower than usual as I strapped my ankle back up again as it was aching yesterday. This healing lark seems to be taking forever!
