Bug

A mottled shield bug to be precise. I found it in the apple tree in our garden.

I was quite nervous for the first swimming training tonight, where I had signed up for.
Little by little, the rules are being brought back to, well, to what exactly? Packed buses and trains. People who come too close.. Long before covid-19, I liked to keep my personal circle empty. Anyway, I took the challenge of swimming with four in a lane. Men who I always train with, but who I haven't seen for over a year. Not my bubble. I am glad I went. With so few swimmers in the lane, it is doable.
This Friday evening I registered for an outdoor training. My training buddies think the outdoor pool is too cold. So do I, but I just want to swim.
