This morning I was up quite early and had a couple of cakes in the oven by 8.30 am.Pottered around in the house doing a couple of odd jobs while they cooked and being in just in case there were any deliveries, as Tina and I have a few things on order. Tina was in at lunchtime and she took me to the Mere so that I could try a walk, and we had a sandwich and cup of tea together before she came home. We did feed some ducks and geese, especially 'Hopalong'. a poorly goose we have seen before, we made sure he got his fair share. The yellow plant is growing in abundance and I need to identify it!

Setting off I decided to try and take some slightly different shots and not just lots of geese and swans.

When I got to the far end and across the bridges I had a rest, this picture was taken from that end, to prove I made it round as much as anything.

The ground is quite stony, well it is noticeable when you are wearing Scholls! It has made a bit of a mess of the soles of the shoes as well. The water lilies are opening now.

Had to have a bit of an arty shot.

Shame about the bit of rubbish in the foreground. This young sea gull had been digging in the undergrowth and moved on when I approached.

Some pretty forger-me-nots.

My ankle had begun to swell but at that moment still didn't feel too bad. I took a boring picture of the train line that I go along when I have trips out of Scarborough.

It was quite a trek to the bus stop and I was really struggling then, put the ankle support on as I waited for the bus. Got off at the station and walked down to York Place and caught the bus home. Did a heat treatment and have done some stretching exercises so it has settled down a bit now. I hope we get some more medals at the Olympics tonight.
