After too many Xmas extravagances, New Year and a trip to Venizia the time had come!!
10,000 steps per day I am advised will turn me from an elephant into a gazelle! So, Az bought me a stepometre? Totally unnecessary I was later to discover because Shelley-Anne announced that the iPhone I was carrying in my pocket apparently under HEART will, and has been ever since I owned it, been counting every step I have taken and left rude remarks when I have taken insufficient! Who knew?
This tree could do with a bit more walking.
The only way to prove that elephants do not turn into gazelles was to start the ten thousand torture almost immediately so headed for Hyde Park on Sunday morning at roughly 8.30 am having become disturbed by the weight of not only myself but of my Sunday newspapers.
What greeted me was a very windswept scene of hundreds of migrant fowl sitting on the edges of the Serpentine waiting for the tourists to come out with their bags of food. Wonderful cloudscapes and the sun, or the rain arriving for the morning.
The Sunday Mail has done 16 pages on why Meghan is an idiot and how the Monarchy are fighting to stave off anhilation after one of the younger sons of Diana chooses to become pussy whipped and want to lead a life of being Woke with all those awful Hollywood money-makers whilst using their royal titles but not doing any of the slog that our 93 year old Queen does every day.
Had a quick word with Diana about her son not behaving too well and mourned the fact she wasn’t still around to maybe have some influence. Sadly she probably is missed by Harry and her death is the reason for his looking for a strong woman to tell him how to lead his life. Mind you, she would be the last person he should ask, she was even more off the wall than his new wife.

Didn’t particularly want to plod off into a windswept and very grey morning but what greeted me once out and about with the joggers and wildlife just about one kilometre from our flat in Belgravia I realised how much time I waste on bed and newspapers.
Don’t think these boys will get quite as many customers today as our Gondoliers did in Venice!

Great clouds.
Beautiful Grey Legged Geese came honking in from the estuary East of London.
I could have picked them up and put them in my handbag.
They know their reputation has gone before them and also that the Queen will defend them if necessary.
Mahonia scent filled the whole park.

A walk in the park is always going to improve one's mood after reading the mail. Happy pudding.
