Irma has returned from working. I have done a few tasks in the garden. I go for a walk.

I have managed to keep to my self-imposed walking regime. I try to do at least 6,000 steps a day and I mostly do. My record so far occurred on August 19, when I did 19,728 steps which (according to my phone) equals 14 km.

Today I will manage 8,366 steps.

On the way through the woods I come across a large mushroom, shining in the shade like a beacon. I pause to look at it and then stride on.
