Finished reading: Foster by Claire Keegan 📚
This is the third book that I have read by Claire Keegan, an author who I had not heard of a few months ago. Each time brought into a story, taken through a snap shot, and then we leave the characters to the larger story. But that snap shot contains so much.
Highly recommended.
We are really getting a cornucopia of weather conditions at the moment. Days of still weather, clear skies and sun, were replaced with two days of howling winds, though clear skies as well. Now the clouds have come in so thick that all views are obscured and it has just started raining.
🍃 I feel as though we have been in a wind tunnel all day, maybe the last two days?! I hope that we wake up to a calmer day tomorrow.

Well that is week two of the Watch to 5K completed. This week was harder than the second, though I am also seeing progress. I am running a little further than the previous week. At the moment I am finding it hard to imagine that I’ll be running 5K by the end of the program. However, there are still seven weeks to go, and it is a gradual build up each week. Onwards and upwards 🏃🏼
🏃♀️ I don’t think that my run today will be much fun, though it will be a challenge. Winds are currently gusting 20/25mph, with a forecast for stronger winds.

I find myself wondering if it is possible to somehow create an RSS feed for a website that I would like to follow, but that does not a feed?
The dawn chorus yesterday morning.
I have not used the Maui bus service for a good number of years now, but it seems that come March 1 I will qualify for a free travel. According to the article below, I will come under the 55 and older category (I am 60). So that leaves me with something to reflect on!
This morning’s Watch to 5K run was the hardest so far. The fifth in the program, the second of the second week, I think that my calf muscles were tightening up with this new regime that I am putting them through.
I’m still pleased that I am on this program, and look forward to see how I progress.
I took the case off of my iPhone 13 Mini a few days ago to clean the phone. It is a clear case and I could see dirt accumulating around the back of the phone. I cleaned the phone and case, but I have not put the case back on the phone. I feel that the phone looks so much better without it.
I don’t know if I will stay with this configuration? My previous phone was an iPhone 7 Plus. A year so before I upgraded the case for that phone finally disintegrated. Knowing that I was getting a new phone soon I decided not to buy a new case. Again I preferred the look of the phone unclothed. Thankfully I did not damage it and despite its age, I got a good resale deal for the 7.
The Mini is about two years old. I can see a small scratch in the center of the screen under certain lighting conditions, but nothing to get in the way of daily usage. I hope to have this phone for another year or so - “until Apple bring out a new SE version in the wraps of a Mini, or even another Mini”, he says hopefully. At the moment I don’t know if I will put the case back on the phone, or buy a new case (the current one is breaking)? Do I trust my hands from not dropping it?
I just like seeing the the clean lines of phone without a case
I just saw a bumper sticker,
Love Everyone
Now there is a practice of a lifetime.
Dawn this morning, a couple of hours ago.
🤫 All is quiet right now, and I’m loving it. It won’t stay this way, but for now I am making the most of it. The quiet rests my body and mind.

I’m happy to have completed Run 3 and my first week of the Watch to 5K app and challenge.

This is my first post and try out of Vincent Ritter’s new blogging platform, Scribbles. I’m not sure that I need another blog, but I love Vincent’s other offerings - Gluon, Tinylytics, and Shoutouts, and so couldn’t miss out on trying Scribbles. I was outside at dawn this morning and all of a sudden heard this deep swoosh sound somewhere above me. I looked around and could see nothing. And then to my right a flock of birds, maybe pigeons, flew low and fast on their way to an unknown destination.

The original of this image was a slide. I projected it onto a wall and took this photo. I initially posted this photo on September 3, 2023, but offered no context for it. Following the reception to my story about a photograph that I took of Mt.Everest at sunset and encouragement of Miraz and Maique, I have decided to revisit other photos that I have posted of my travels, as well as ones yet posted, and share their story.
Good morning ☕️. What will this week bring?
