The evenings are getting lighter. I went out for my walk at the normal time and it wasn’t dark yet.

Literally “light on the horizon”

New Years Day walk. Very quiet, minimal traffic, but the supermarkets were all open still. Drizzly rain, but not heavy.

Another freezing day for walking and again my nose started running half way through. All the cars iced up this morning, so I’m expecting similar on Saturday when I’m out doing the morning shop.

Normal time for walking, and it was dark. And cold. Freezing cold. It could have snowed and I would not have been surprised.

My nose started running just 1.5 km into the walk, that’s how cold it was.

Another slightly early walk day, it was absolutely freezing today, snow in some places, but not here, just a layer of frost.

Bank Holiday today.

Gloves and wooly hat weather.

Went out for my walk a bit early, with a bit of daylight still. Still quiet, since it’s a Sunday.

Boxing Day walk and the main shops were open again: Co-Op, Sainsbury’s, Tesco. Another cold and wet day, and there’s talk of a storm coming in towards the tail end of today. We’ll see how that goes.

Went for my walk on Christmas Day and it was dead quiet. Hardly anyone out, and all the shops were closed. Most of them, anyway. The local Ocakbasi was open (but takeaway only), the local Co-op, and Sainsbury’s were closed. But the local fruit n veg was still open, and the Shell petrol station was open (to cover for those who are driving, even though you’re not supposed to socialise outside your bubble). Surprisingly the Tesco petrol station was not open.

And FitBit announced I had got a new badge.

Christmas Eve and a cold afternoon for a walk. And it wasn’t even dark yet.

Another evening walk, popped into Sainsbury’s to buy a new tub of chewing gum (I have a habit of chewing gum while I’m walking — not while I’m running, though, the gum is likely to pop out while I’m panting).

Also realised when I was paying for the gum at Sainsbury’s that I had forgotten to start my Fitbit tracking so now I don’t know how long I walked. Oh well. :(
