Sunday Walk for the better.

Woke about 10am to grey cold day. I thought ick that is gonna make for a grotty walk. Had breakfast and got dressed...because there was no power couldn't have heater on and was COLD. Hung 3 loads of washing that I had done last night. Not a great drying day but didn't want to hang it in lounge. Got wrapped up for my walk, gloves, socks(never bother withsocks normally, tights and trousers, skivy, sleeveless vest and polarfleece jacket told ya i was rugged up. Soon warmed up though so gloves came off...my hands had got so cold hanging out the washing and with no power also meant no hotwater(we have gas hotwater and it is powered by electricity) to warm my hands.
I walked 2 hours and 10 mins. Measured it later with the car and it was 8.5k, forgot to put on pedometre. Half hour of it was cross country and pretty rough went over on ankle a couple of times but no damage, rest of walk was on road so pretty easy.
When I got home had the snack I had taken with me...banana, muffin and raisins.
(This is when a spa would be great...mind u today it wouldn't have been much use. Have been looking into Sauna's as well.)
Rested for a while then drove to the shops for some 'supplies' got some mandarines, frozen corn, vinegar, and frozen yoghurt...I decided to treat myself for my walk. Visited Dad for half hour, drove around walk to clock time. Came home had a read of GI resolution took note of some things to ask dietican. Got casserole ready for tea and cabbage tried new recipe rather nice, would have been nicer if shop had cider vinegar but only had spiced. By then power was back on and I could start cooking. Bought in washing think it was wetter than when i hng it out, so now lounge looks like a laundramat again. Watched Low carb and loving it. By then hubby was home and life is back to normal.
tomorrow hate begining of month always tension.
