Today is a recovery day for me - paper deliveries took a lot out of me

Further to the nut dumplings that are more like meatballs - they are incredibly good in tomato soup!

Paused my bike ride yesterday to walk a Labyrinth in Silver Springs Botanical Gardens in North Calgary. The design is based on the Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France. It was a good size, took about 20 minutes to make it to the centre.

Sounds like fun @BethAnne. Enjoy. I think I will be retreating in front of an AC vent tonight.

it usually is fun...this is the one I've been participating in every solstice since Dec 2016 - hard to believe it's been that long - and it's hosted by the gal whose year-long mentorship program I am in this year

Last week of fun bike rides as I am being recalled to work as of next Monday. Have been off on furlough since May 1st so may take a while to get back into the groove. Thankful for the government assistance that helped me pay my rent too.

I have managed to keep biking 1.5 kms each day

Been starting to bike again myself. Cancelled my Strava (out of spite, they pulled features from free to paid) and haven't found a substitute yet so I am not 100% sure of my distance. Based on past experience using the same routes, 10-15 km.

 

[BethAnne]

I drove the loop so that's how I know how far I go - though I should add up my trips so I know my total distance to date

At last a sunny day with no wind to head out into.

At last a sunny day with no wind to head out into.

that's always a nice bonus

I imagine the persistent windiness of the Prairie climate makes cycling a particularly challenging activity there.

Only some days and in some places more than others

Are head winds probable or only brain storms?

That I don't know. But many people are saying it's uphill both ways.

In my home area it is said going to school was like that ... up-hill through a snowjob ... both ways ... or so the myth continues! AD infinitum ...

An abstract of Sisyphus ... perturbed little women as psychic? Mental dissonance ...

Today's plan, after the paper is sent in, is to go to the greenhouse and get more bags of wood chips - going to use for the labyrinth path and some other (dream) projects around the yard - which may or may not get done this year
