Oh my goodness the heat continues! James and I decided to go for a walk this morning and chose Strathy Park because it takes about an hour and we wanted to chill out in the garden in the afternoon. But oh dear, it seemed reasonably pleasant at first but I just got hotter as the walk went on until I was absolutely sweltering. James told me that I was probably panicking and breathing too fast and that’s why I was overheating, so I tried to follow his instructions and “think cool” with little success. The park looked beautiful. It can be rather bleak in the winter but today it was all green and lovely. There were runners (of very varying ability!) doing a 5 k. And there were canoes racing on the water, and lots of cute cygnets and goslings paddling along with their mummies and daddies. James insisted on calling in at B&Q on the way home. I was not best pleased.
However James redeemed himself by setting up my hammock after lunch without even being asked. I read my book and dozed for an hour before some thunder heralded some rain at last. It was a shower rather than a storm but the garden smelled amazing afterwards, almost tropical, like the Botanic Gardens.
Hi Susan - I would have been at parkrun!
