Apr. 27th, 2021 05:31 pmWashington Wetlands reopened last week, so we went there for a walk yesterday. You have to book a spot as they're controlling numbers allowed in, but that wasn't a problem as we've kept our WWT membership going over the lockdowns.
It was such a nice, peaceful walk. The Wetlands will always be one of my favourite places as it's where we went when I first started walking more seriously. There are a lot of benches to rest on if needed, plus, you can either keep to the inner shorter loop or branch off to the hides or down to the river which can easily double your walk. Today we stuck to the inner loop and it was apparent that lockdown hasn't been good in terms of keeping up stamina while walking. James even made noises about using the electric scooter but I talked him round that we'd never get back to where we were if he took that option. And, in the end, he agreed he'd enjoyed the walk so it was the right decision.
Some photos, including the inevitable otter pics behind ( here )
It's my FiL's birthday tomorrow. James has a rostered day off so suggested buying dinner for my In-laws. While you can't eat inside restaurants yet, and the weather has turned again meaning eating outside isn't an appealing option, you can get take away from practically every restaurant in the area. So, we asked my FiL what he wanted, and he wants a bucket of chicken from KFC. We stressed again we'd go anywhere, but nope, the man wants his chicken. So, that's one easy thing to pick up.
Today it's been wet and cold but I cranked out 2k of my H/C exchange story and it felt great to do so. Probably would have got more if Milo hadn't 't decided to lie in front of the keyboard.
