Back on track for the year today - the day the log clicks over 200 miles (well, at least as soon as fetch's hamsters update the league table).

Lovely bright day with an occasional chill wind.

A few updates ...
Seems pheasants round here survive on mango chutney (plus other Indian takeaways)? Most of the feeders are these


Th erun today was up the chalk downs - wide open views, buzzards swirling around, along the top and then back down the bluebell woods.




And the power of Fetch, please. I can now spot & name Early Purple Orchid (and a few web searches have found a lot more names for that, as well as causing & curing STD, supposedly), Primrose, Cowslip, Celandine, Wood Anenome ... but I have a new one today. About bluebell sized, faint purple hue before opening, papery white when open. And ideas?




Great run, great scenery, very pleased to be rural !

I’m not great on wildflowers, looks like some sort of campanula to me?

Bluebell envy!
I did a body blast session and an excellent combat rebound video from YouTube. Going to hurt tomorrow!

I think they are anemones actually ferret, just droopy ones. The leaves look identical to these:

I wonder what the age distribution of Joe Wicks’s audience is?

I think they look like wood anemones too.

I can't seem to psyche myself up to doing any physical jerk type of stuff or yoga yet, or gardening.

Once again I failed to rest and had a little run. Nice but maybe shouldn't have bothered since I tripped and now have grit rash down my leg. Feel a right muppet!!

Yow TM, I hope the weather was good to make that worth it.

I did 11ish, including my first jaunt through a town park since parkrun stopped. I was impressed to see that while there were plenty of people there, they were all keeping well away from others and no groups that probably weren't families. It is a large park with many paths which helps.

I stopped to say thank you to a park gardener. The park looks absolutely beautiful.

Not to doubt fetchie input, but I think these are wood anenomes - more star shaped & yellow middles. Whereas the ones on the run today were more papery & all white ...
