Boots or Fins

 I was up by seven. For a change, it was dry, but it was incredibly misty. I made my coffee and took a tea to Diane in bed, then I settled down with the newspapers. Many newspapers charge a subscription fee to read them online. I can, however, read. them without a subscription through my local library. The library provides access to many UK, European, and worldwide newspapers through an app called PressReader. This will either display page images from the paper or a list view of all of the articles. It's brilliant.

Once Di had wandered down, I put on my shoes and headed off for a walk. I followed the usual route and, as predicted yesterday, finished one audiobook and started another.

As I walked back past the community football pitches, I noted that there were no games being played. Maybe waterpolo would have been more appropriate, or a swap from football boots to fins.

Once I was home, I enjoyed my usual breakfast, then as Diane went to her sewing room, I went to my study.

I spent much of the rest of the day working on the family tree. Some recent DNA hits opened up a few further areas of research. By the end of the session, I had added a further 18 cousins to the tree. It has been a good day.
