From England 2

I had lunch and then went for a stroll with my camera. I walked down the road and there is an area where I can take a picture of the Somerset countryside so I did that. I then walked onto the big recreation area across the road from my sister’s. The rec was full of people doing things like playing soccer and miniature golf, walking their dogs and flying kites. There were also some people riding around on tiny little motor bikes–they looked very weird! I have a feeling that where they were riding it was illegal. There were no signs saying no motor bikes but there were signs saying no bicycle riding! If the weather is nice tomorrow, I will do what many people were doing and take my books and sit on one of the park benches and read.

After my stroll I went and laid on my bed to read and, yes, you are correct! I did fall asleep but it was only for 30 minutes. I was wondering why I felt so tired but when I looked at the pedometer I understood. I have noticed that I can walk about 8000 steps fairly easily but 10000 really knocks me out. When I went for the afternoon stroll, I had forgotten that Toby and I walked into town from the supermarket for coffee and then back out. it wasn’t very long but it all adds up.

Until later….

Number of Steps on the pedometer for today: 11010

Yes, that is eleven thousand!

Glad you arrived safely. How’s the jet lag? I have to keep myself moving or I fall asleep and then it takes me longer to adjust. Yoga and walking are the best I’ve found.

okay, I will leave the note I tried to leave the other night. Yes, I can believe you fell asleep reading. I find reading to be recouperating and often fall asleep while reading. Hugs. r
