There was a tiny patch of blue in the sky and it wasn't raining, hooray. With the next storm and a yellow warning for wind due in tomorrow we decided to blow away the cobwebs and head out for a walk in the hills.
Yesterday I had realised that going up to the high country behind Penrhyn-coch was the perfect place to take Peter walking. Not only was it close to home but the road along the ridge afforded amazing views on either side without the blind bends and steep drops of the mountain road that Peter really doesn't like. Also walking on a level road is much safer for his ankles as any small injury can set off his immune system arthritis.
So off we went and had a steady stroll around Llyn Blaenmelindwr. There wasn't much sun and the light wind blowing from the north felt rather icy. But we were well wrapped up and it was lovely to be out.
There were far fewer people around today, just a few cyclists, a couple of cars and a lady with her dog. Her dog was a springer spaniel who had a wonderful time swimming in the lake.
By the time we got home the wind was picking up whipping up the waves right across the bay. The latest news on our recycling collection is that they will try and collect next Saturday. I've put our recycling bags in the bins beside the garage as I don't fancy having the contents strewn across the street. I've also put my neighbour's bags in her bin as she isn't well at the moment.
All that's left to do today is my Duo Lingo (I'm being lazy and just doing practice exercises not bothering to write anything down in my notebook) and maybe play the piano.
