"Look, Squirrel!"

Managed an 8 mile walk today after 3 days without any walking at all.
A lovely day but noticeably fewer people out and about.
90% of those I passed were older folks.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. 
They are undoubtedly fit and active, probably more so than the younger people. 
I worry for their welfare if they are stopped from doing the things that keep them healthy. 
I worry for their flouting the advice and putting themselves at risk.
 I suspect that if this was 20 years in the future, I would be tempted to join them. 
And that really causes great internal conflict...
8 miles gives a lot of time for thought.
Brisa isn't capable of holding a thought for long.
Paddy is unimpressed.
