A hot September afternoon.

It's a good 1st September here in Rishton.
It is the Feast Day of Saint Penelope.
Steps walked 7158.
The people well enough and enthusiastic enough to join in the BHF 10,000 steps a day for the month of September to raise funds for them, have my prayers and admiration.
I withdrew from this event realising I am seriously happy doing 6,000 steps, indoors or outside not in rain, but not 10,000. I felt exhausted going beyond my comfort zone when I initially thought I could do 10,000. Currently on 6192 steps today. Tai Chi can help with stress. Plenty of this on YouTube and Instagram. Flute music or harp sounds can be healing.
I was very anxious before the appointment at the doctor's but he is a wise doctor and found a prescription that helped my current sufferings. Statins and more blood pressure lowering tablets. Hoping they work . Thank you for your prayers. I am doing less stressy things, but we up potted lettuce seedlings and I am glad they are progressing well.
I now take seriously and aim to drink 2 litres of water at least. The graduated water bottle on our table in the blipfoto, is filtered water. I struggle to enthuse but it is an eye opener realising how dehydrated I am.
We are in the living room because it is 90f in the conservatory which cools during evening and is great then.
Thanks very much for your kind comments and prayers.
