The universe conspired to deliver a beautiful day to make up for the horrid news delivered yesterday. A grey, wet and dreary day would have been too depressing. Tier 4??? Seriously!
However, we are now one day closer to coming out of lockdown. Meanwhile, knowing as I do, how the British weather system works; grey, overcast skies in the morning…clear sunny, blue afternoon. Clear blue skies in the morning…rain by midday – with the odd exception.
Soooo, when I pulled back the curtains this morning and saw clear blue skies with just a hint of cloud on the distant horizon, I determined to use my shopping trip as an excuse to get out for a long walk. Which I did.
Heading along the same route as yesterday where I discovered Lloyd Park, I once again reached the park.
Thinking a slightly different route in the park would be good, I followed what looked like a nice, firm, dry sandy path to the trees I could see in the distance…it wasn’t firm or dry 🤪🤪🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️ within a few meters I was slipping and sliding along…
Slip sliding away…
Managing to keep upright thanks to my walking poles, eventually I reached a tree halfway to where I really wanted to go, and called it quits.
About turn….
I did a careful about turn and slid back to the concrete pathway, which although tough on the bones, is so much easier to walk on. I walked as far as the carpark on the distant side of the park, then returned. There were a fair number of people out walking, mostly masked up and keeping their distance. I overheard snatches of a few conversations; mostly about the lockdown and the mental health of people affected by the sudden change in the government’s position on Christmas.
On my way back out the park I ‘slid’ to the left and walked past a massive allotment plot.
I loved this path…An enormous allotment
I stopped to listen to a robin sing and then went shopping.
A robin trills
Oh oh…who is that I spy lurking behind the bush?
Who could it be?
In all I got in a very good 9.1kms and as a result I’m now only 103.3kms away from reaching my target of 2020kms of my 2020 virtual challenge 👏👏👏🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️😃
I noticed this amazing decoration on the side of a building near the station
Isn’t that just stunning!!!
As for the Great Ocean Road route in Australia I’m only 25km (15.6miles) away from the end of the challenge 😁😁 I am now close to reaching the end of my virtual journey…239.8km along the south coast of that epic continent – Australia!! I really want to finish by Thursday 24th.
I’m roughly halfway between Port Cambell which I left behind 4 days ago
Port Campbell and 51.2 km (32 miles) to go
And nearing the end at Allansford
I hope to visit Oz for real in 2023/2024….finances depending. I only just received all my postcards from the Conqueror Challenges team. It seems I started the route before they were ready, so they kindly sent the cards in one batch when they were done. So awesome. They’re all incredibly on the ball with their customer service.
And so as 2020 starts to wind down, I’m gearing up to virtually climb Mt. Fuji 🗻🇯🇵 Hopefully this challenge will dovetail nicely with the last kilometres of my 2020 challenge. And of course, it goes without saying…I’m going to participate in the 2021 challenge too….😁😁😁🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️ What distance do you think I should set my target at?
If you have recorded or want to watch Strictly Come Dancing on catch up….
Because…..
Well well well well….Strictly Come Dancing champion 2020……issssss
BILL BAILEY!!!!! 🕺🕺🕺🏆👏👏👏👏
Huge congratulations to Oti for raising a champion dancer.
I genuinely thought Hrvy would win due to his age and popularity and of course I would have loved Jamie to win, even though I didn’t think he would, and Maisie…..what a little ray of sunshine…
They were ALL amazing and the final was quite simply SPECTACULAR or as Craig would say FAB.U.LOUS 😁😁😁
but I’m THRILLED that Bill won. He was amazing and definitely made the most improvement and ended in a spectacular fashion.
Strictly Come Dancing has been so uplifting during the last few months and it’s still my absolute favourite show. It brings so much joy.
This government is absolutely totally and utterly fcking useless….I mean the bloody PM.
Tier 4!!!! Less than a week before Christmas when day after day that useless ‘I can’t even think of a suitable curse’ supposed prime minister has been saying that people CAN go ahead and plan for Christmas. Have a merry little Christmas!!! 😠😠😠
They KNEW about the mutant variant over a week ago and they didn’t take action immediately!! September is when they identified it, and just recently they said its spreading fast. Why not shut down immediately.
As usual they bloody wait and dither and obsficate and kick their heels, just like he did in January, February March.
I’m fed up with his dithering ffs.
We know and understand the need for lockdown, for taking action and making hard decisions, but WHY does he always dither and obsficate?
After correcting the start date for the Great Ocean Road virtual challenge in Australia, it seems I’m actually ahead of myself
Why thank you, I’m giving it some welly…😁😁
But with the 2020 Conqueror Challenge I’m still behind
Okay, okay…I’m trying…🤪🤪
121.1km doesn’t seem like a lot, but when you’re not ‘actually’ walking ‘virtually’ it’s a longggg way to zero!!Now if only this sodding weather would improve, I might actually finish them on schedule, and considering that I still want to virtually climb Mt. Fuji before 31.12.2020 …..
Still to get started, never mind completed
Meanwhile, the last day of 2020 creeps ever nearer….
