Post heatwave

A new post . The weather has cooled down a bit now , so I am a bit more mobile. Hot weather affects my MS it was in the late 30s at times . Pretty awful . I did a circuit (using two sticks) of the field which I haven’t attempted for a while so I found it pretty exhausting. I have to keep doing it or I will get worse. I measured the field and it’s roughly 1/4 mile all the way round.

When the weather was at it’s hottest , typically I caught covid. It knocked me for 6 for about 24 hours , then I got the loss of taste etc.

I am starting to get moving again. Exercises which involve yoga and pilates type things and walking again. My plan is to somehow, against all the odds , improve my walking and mobility. I would like to go on a trip to Botswana next year and I don’t think I can take my powered chair. So it has to be on sticks. I would like to be able to do 2 circuits of the field but it’s going to be a tall order. But that would be 1/2 mile. I am going to have to work hard to achieve this.

I have been interested in doing a trip to Botswana for a few years. It started with a conversation with a friend who lived there. He spoke about the Okavango Delta which sounds amazing. But I need to be lighter and fitter. Hopefully My wife and I and some friends will do this next year.

The weather has been a bit dull last few days so not much good for photography . Also I have been taking a lot of pictures of the same things. I need to get out and about.
