Reflections

After four days of very little activity, the thought of running or even walking parkrun did not appeal this morning. The fact that it was tipping it down with rain and had been doing so half the night helped my decision. Never mind, I’m sure I’ll be back next week.

In the afternoon in a break in the rain, I took a walk to the park to see how things were doing. The cygnet has certainly grown in the past week and is getting past the cute stage rapidly. The parents are teaching it to fend for itself and as another observer said, it’s past the stage of being prey for the heron! I quite liked the juxtaposition of all the reflections in my blip. I’m not sure whether the hook and empty container have achieved anything in the pond - I take it they were an attempt to prevent the pondweed (the hook was keeping a strawbale in place, and the bottle presumably had some weed killing liquid). It doesn’t seem to be working in any case.
