    Going to try to keep up the walking. Been getting a lot more exercise of late. My usual walking partner is going away for a bit so might not feel like going quite as far. Also, the rain.

    On that, be careful of flash floods. The dried out, hard ground might not absorb the water as quickly as it usually would.

        Not done weights, no. Would like to have more access to, not sure what to call it, jungle-gym type stuff. Climbing, balance, that sort of stuff.

      I love a walk but prefer the flat rather than hills! And yeah, dry rather than wet for walking!!

        I’m a bit of a scrambler myself. Not into rock-climbing but if I see a slope it’s hard to resist.

    I formally apologise to whichever actual Gàidhlig speakers wind up having to mark my exams. Pronunciation is about the only bit I’m good at, and that doesn’t really come across in writing

    Still, the learning continues! Can’t get good at something without being bad at it first

      It’s a great language and all the speakers I’ve had interaction with have been very kind about my lack of skill. Just do your best.

        I did and shall continue to! Fortunately I’m doing it for myself rather than any external goal, so it doesn’t really matter beyond being a personal disappointment if I fail. I feel like I’m almost good enough to be able to engage more with Gàidhlig media, which I think will be a good hurdle to cross

        Yes, but have you got your beds all planted and weeds removed?

        Nothing wrong with a garden. We are here to enjoy our time on this planet. Better than watching The Traitors for certain!
