Yesterday was wall to wall sunshine, although not as warm as it looked, so I made the most of it! I've discovered that the path they are working on is one that had an extremely steep bit that was unsuitable for wheelchairs and for anyone with any sort of mobility issues and what they're doing is 'shallowing' it out which is good. There's another way down to the beech and round to the shop, so that works for my early morning walk.
It was great to get back into that lovely pool! While it is far from being a conventional up and down pool (thank goodness), it is perfectly possible to go up to the deep part and enjoy a fairly uninterrupted side to side swim while the action goes on in the shallower part, especially in the morning. By midday it is quite a lot busier.
After a late lunch, I went for my afternoon walk in the sunshine. It was gorgeous, the wildlife was out and about and I managed to catch a few photos although the rabbits were too bouncy and speedy for any sort of unblurred photo and the water birds seemed to be hiding!
Here's some of my snaps.

I was so tired by the evening, I had a very early night and missed Strictly. It didn't help that I hadn't slept well over Friday night - I never do first night in a different bed - so the day had started way too early as well. What with that and all the exercise, I just crashed! I have my laptop so can watch it on playback!
So - I've slept like a log and today's going to be great, despite the rain. I will do more or less the same thing. I won't get my early walk for the paper as the shop opens at ten so I'll have a leisurely start to the day and pick up the paper on my way to the pool. After the swim I will have lunch and then get out in that rain. I'm sure dodging the raindrops burns calories!!
Have a great Sunday and stay warm and dry! xx
Morning Joy, lovely photos, seems like you're having a great time despite the weather. I'm a wimp, I really don't enjoy walking in rain and try to avoid it as much as possible. Glad you got some good sleep in - yes do catch up on Strictly, there were a few really brilliant dances last night....and an absolutely hilarious exchange between Anton and Craig! xx
ReplyDeleteThat's something to look forward to later on! Lovely. I don't mind rain-walking as long as I'm well protected. I don't like getting soaked though.

You've taken some great photographs of the wildlife. I think we're forecast rain all morning here but it should clear up later. I hope you manage to get out for your walk. X
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if it's set in for the day here but we will see. Thanks for the nice words; high praise from someone who takes lovely photos!

Lovely photos it is absolutely hosing down here but fortunately my skin is waterproof and all that is needed is a towel if I get soaked.
ReplyDeleteGood Muntjac photos.
ReplyDeleteVery wet wet wet here too. The birds are going crazy on the feeders and I'll have to venture out to fill them sometime.
I love the photos. Sounds like you had a great day. It has started to brighten up her so hopefully the rain will pass through and you will get some brightness. xx
