The wood walk is pretty muddy at the moment and there is one bit that is definitely challenging. I think it's where there was a small water flow that gradually has become wider and muddier. A few logs and stones provide some foot steps but the mud is taking over and the step up to the bank on the other side getting higher and higher.
Today we'd reached the 'just throw yourself at it and hope for the best' stage. So I did. And promptly fell back down.
My shriek even made George look up though I suspect less out of concern for me and more in the hope that I may have dropped some treats that he would be able to get at before I could. (I hadn't.)
Emerging from the wood I fell into step this time with an elderly Irishman who was carrying his dog. He asked if I'd walked this way on Friday and had I seen the all the police cars. Apparently there were five policemen who all pounced on a man returning to his camper van. 'They handcuffed him so I'm thinking it must be serious.'
Excitement and I missed it. My Irish friend pointed out that he'd been walking this way for forty years and had never seen the like of it so chances are I never will now.

On a separate note I was having a discussion with someone about poo. Apparently there is a man in Linden who only poos twice a week. That cannot be healthy!

Then there are people who poo all the time; they are called politicians ;-)
Too much information!
Sounds regular, though. Regular doesn't have to mean daily.
I wouldn't like to use the toilet after him

Indeed, stu.
Sorry, Sub!
I guess not, katney, but it still doesn't sound good.
Nor me, Di!
