Maybe a little too much walking!

I wanted to get to the post office so did set it to walk there this morning. Called in the chemists on my way and the medication is still not in, but that isn’t so bad as I have stopped it at the moment, partly because I was about to run out and also because the more I took the worse the leg seemed to be! I did make it to the post office without a sit down and then up to the se front. Took some photos, and of some ridiculously hardy surfers! The last one I was pleased with because of colouring and composition!
Took this photo coming back through the memorial garden, the nickname for the plant is appropriately Hot Lips!
After lunch I wrote a couple of letters and decided to take them to the nearest postbox and then call in and see Sher. This short walk pushed the limits of the leg and I had to have a rest before returning! Sher wasn’t at the shop as the window was being replaced. This lovely plant was in the church yard.
I did so some clearing in the front garden with the lopper and strimmer, but not too much. Then spent quite a while trying to get some pieces together on the jigsaw which is proving to be much trickier than I thought it would,
I keep nodding off when sitting, I think the lack of sleep and discomfort are taking their toll so will be retiring quite early again tonight,

    You’ve done a fair bit of walking today, all things considered. Nice to get to the sea though. Those surfers are as mad as the ones in Scarborough. Even with a wet suit on it must be damn freezing 🥶 They need a proper hobby, like macrame 😂 I have to agree with you about the fourth pic. It’s lovely. Great light, reflections, colours and composition.
    I didn’t know those plants were known as “hot lips”, but I can definitely see why.
    Sounds like the postbox trip was the final straw for the leg today, or was it the lopping and stimming in the garden? Tut tut! 🙄
    I thought that jigsaw would be quite hard with all that white in it, but it’ll keep you out of mischief for a while at least.
    Hope the early night helps a bit.

    I agree about the surfers, can’t imagine how cold that sea was!
    May have done a bit too much but hopefully no extra harm done.
    It is good when you get a photo that you are really pleased with, more luck than judgement really.
    Will try to do more jigsaw and less walking tomorrow!
