Gheluvelt Park and Pitchcroft, Worcester: Monday, 18th March, 2019.

The River and Brook have flooded even more of the park.
They say that the river will peak in Bewdley tomorrow, 
so we reckon it will peak here on Wednesday or Thursday.

Don't eat my foot.
Further up the steps than yesterday.

Here we go again, Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Sunday, 10th March, 2019.

The female swan is on her nest.
Looks like we've got another few weeks ahead worrying about 
her eggs, cygnets, and whether any will survive.
Meanwhile, back at HQ, it's started to snow.

Perdiswell Leisure Centre, Worcester: Friday, 8th March, 2019.

The NHS told me to do this sort of stuff.
Bending, stretching, staying active, that sort of thing.
Hmmmmm, the jury's out is all I'm saying.
Mind you, I can just about touch my toes now.
That's a first.

Croome Park, Worcs (with Roger): Tuesday, 5th March, 2019.

Cowin' BBC weather forecast.
Middle of the morning and it's raining 
when they said it wouldn't be here 'til after lunch.
Two olde fellas sat in the Grotto having a moan 
whilst eating biccies washed down 
with tea, thankfully, just out of shot.
5 minutes later and the sun's back out.
Yay! Normal service is resumed 
and we can continue our walk.

 Fit Bit stats (by the end of the day):
15,617 steps
7.37 miles
3,294 cals burnt
17 stairs.
