Surprising colour for January!

Wow what a gorgeous blue sky. You've been energetic today by the looks of things Andy!

Thanks, Jenny. A good long walk. I needed it. I used to do two long mountain walks a week (when I first lived in Spain). But then, thankfully, I got more work, I acquired a lovely girlfriend and these things reduced my walking time. Then a series of ill health incidents restricted me further. But when I can I love to get out there, even if it is only 2-3 times a year now. My girlfriend comes occasionally but she always finds she has something more urgent to do! She has vertigo and she is frightened I will take her up a mountain! I did once, using easy paths but, never again. I haven't heard the last of it (even now, six years after!).
I'm sorry Jenny, I know these things are not possible for you, but I also know you enjoy the vicarious experience!
I checked my mobile phone just one second before midnight and saw that I had done 39,898 steps today! If I had checked it a few minutes before, I would have been seen trotting round the room to get those extra 102 steps!!! How sad!!!
:o)))

My wife has the step-counting app for her iPhone, and always has to check how many steps we took after a hike--

Ha Ha! I usually forget to look but on some days I do a lot of walking between classes in different parts of the city and they often aren't that close to public transport, so out of interest I did check my steps for a week and found that the most I walked was 22,000 steps one day and the least was 8,000. biut an average of 12,000 to 15,000 which apparently represents good exercise. Just as well as I don't get it anywhere else!

From your lips to God's ears, Larry!
It does seem that way because of the early start to the winter (here too).

all he best again my friend

Lovely, colourful scene!

A beautiful scene, Andy.
