The dam wall at Carsington Reservoir, otherwise known as that damn wall! It's about a mile long and very exposed to the weather, on occasion I've been almost unable to stay upright, but no wind today thank goodness.

I'd got a couple of last minute bits to get and so was at Tesco for 8 o'clock, but so were hundreds of others. Not surprising though, because since I moved here four and a half years ago, five new housing estates have been built, but no new supermarkets and so of course they all use Tesco, which isn't a superstore! Where is Aldi or Lidl when you need them? Okay, moan over!

I put the shopping in the boot and went straight to Carsington. The plan was to cure my cold with a brisk walk... but I don't think it's worked and I'm fed up of resting.
