Well done on walking for 2 hours in the snow. We’ve got a COVID vaccination centre at our local leisure centre, I’ve never seen the car park so busy. I live across the road from a park and the kids were sledging there this lunchtime.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I just hope they are all busy these numbers are really worrying I know they want them but the weather here was atrocious today and some poor old folks were struggling on through it with walking sticks they were probably worried if they didn’t go today they wouldn’t get it1

This will be the first day I can’t go for a walk it’s lethal outside can’t even stand up it’s so icy hubby went to bottom of street with little dog and came back even the poor dog was slipping it’s to dangerous and I think the NHS can do without us having broken bones I will do some exercises in the house and I’ve got plenty I can keep busy with in here at least there’s no money getting spent don’t need any shopping until Tuesday then it will be fresh veggies and milk January has been a very frugal month bit more in savings keeps me going thinking of holiday savings roll on the summer I can only dream have a good day everyone whatever you are doing1

If you’re missing the walks why not do the walking workout on You Tube I mentioned. Much safer than risking falling outside.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
