Living my dream

By Mima

The day after

It's still cloudy, but it feels warmer and the rain stopped at about midnight. The ground is completely saturated (possibly for the first time in a couple of years) and the run-off here and there is spectacular. 50mm fell in total.

This is an ephemeral creek crossing a local paddock, which will probably have disappeared in a couple of days.

We had a morning walk during which Bean was absolutely bounding with beans. She was clearly delighted to be running around without rain drops falling all over her. It was a joy to witness. 

I dug some parsnips and leeks. Soup with the leeks. Roast dinner with the parsnips (and spuds, some bacon and beans from the freezer). 

I'm super-alert to any changes in my body, but so far I have no symptoms of covid. I'll be crossing everything for another couple of days... 

I'm after recommendations: I need to get some good quality, waterproof, long-lasting walking shoes (not boots). 

They will be used a couple of hours most days, on a mixture of sealed road, unsealed road and paddocks. Any recommendations?

The last (mid-price) walking shoes I bought have lasted four months before seams have split. I can't bear to buy another pair which feels such a waste of money.
