As those who follow my twitter/facebook will know, i went out for a walk today with Jess. Well, i take her for a walk most days, but this time i set out for a Walk… decided to walk up to the canal (where i’ve gone before), walk along the canal, and then loop back towards home (can’t get more specific than that without giving away where we live!). Sez – you’ll be glad to know i left my phone in my pocket (blaring music into my ears), and took my Fuji camera with me.. and yes, i used it! The total walk was 1.7 miles, or so, not a huge walk, but quite long enough for someone like me who isn’t used to it…. Jess is now very tired, and tucked up on the sofa with her nose up her bum, just the way she likes it. and me? well, i’m tired too, but unlike madam, i’ve still got to go to the supermarket…

[The walking thing, btw, is part of what i’ve got to do to address the diabetes. Well, not so much walking specifically but exercise. I just chose to walk in order to meet those obligations. I’ll be doing a lot more of it in future.]

Anyway. Photos. As per usual, most of them are behind the cut…. but here’s one to share with the front page…
