Sun 11th May

Well, Wednesday night's trip to the football was such a breeze I'm going to do it again today. One whole week back at work and my first late shifts brought some interesting problems. I tried eating at midday with a 3 PM start, but I found around 8 in the evening the bag started to fill quite drastically. I'm a bus driver and do four and a half hours on the road. I was getting a bit concerned, but I did manage to get through.

I used to go out with a walking club and feel so well and fit. Now I would like to go back to it. What do you think about being in the great outdoors for a whole day? I'm going to give it a try and just pack a few extra bits in my walking bag. Happy Sunday to you all.

You'll be eating leaky pudding soon. Exercise of any sort is brilliant. Get your boots out, get going. Take a spare kit and lots of wipes just in case, but going to the toilet is possibly easier than before. Good luck. Balderee, baldara, etc.

Had a great time out, Monsieur, and now back in the walking mode. Treated myself to new boots yesterday. You're right, it was much easier; just stepped into the trees, took a black bag out, and the rest is history, as they say. Off again tomorrow. I knew the little pouch in the top of my backpack was there for a reason!
