Beautiful day

What a gorgeous day! I had a lovely walk with my pal the Veep this morning, after first stopping for coffee in Rowallane House (I’m not sure if that’s the official name, but it’s the house shown here).

We blethered and set the world of education to rights, as is our wont, but by the time we’d completed a circuit of the outside edges of the estate we’d only done 3000 steps!

I walked from home down into town in the afternoon and that pushed my step count to just over 8000, which is about 7950 more than usual. I jest not.

The Ards Man has started doing mega walks during the week, while I usually sit and read/paint/knit. I really must get up off my btm! This was also brought home to me during my pre-op assessment yesterday, when my height was measured at 176cm, when for the last 45 years I have been 178cm.

I’m shrinking!
