This morning I'm off on a U3A walk which a friend and I have organised.

29 miles this week - and that takes me over the #nhs1000miles goal (the earliest in the year I've ever met it)! My YTD is now 1021 boots-on hiking miles.
Pics are from mid-week in Martindale with the Skiddaw U3A Roamers. The ethereal blue is Angle Tarn.

On the u3a natural history walk we came across this rock, which is very artistically painted. It was up near the Drake Stone above Harbottle and we left it for others to see. Whoever Mel is, it brought a smile to our faces!

"Tormenting Form". I asked the u3a poetry group I run to write a villanelle, so had to write one myself. I've written them before, but this was a nightmare. Here it is.

I do Italian lessons with a teacher online and find them good. Also belong to a U3a Italian conversation group which is fun and I learn a bit.
This was my first foray into Latin since about 1970! It's fairly undemanding and I enjoyed it - was surprised how much came back to me.

I sent the iPlayer link to my two local astronomy groups and local u3a group via their FB pages.
Well done. I like pointing my local authority towards pollution reduction when I get an opportunity ... sadly, to no avail.
Thank you for what you do; take care 🙂
