Rainy Saturday

[katriona_s]

Gloomy days. Our annual rainy season has ended officially at the middle of June, but it seems to have decided to return, we have had the days with rain for over a week, and a little sunshine. Yesterday it rained heavily, today it’s drizzling. Thanks for this rain the temperature is not very high at the moment, it’s rather comfortable even with the high humidity. I have cleaned all the rooms as I do every Saturday morning, then polished the shoes I have worn during the last week. We have a small wooden bench just outside of the entrance door, I like sitting there and polishing my shoes. Today there is little breeze still I could feel the air was moving. Our house is at the end of the small alley so no passers-by, the noise from the nearby big road is not much loud. When I vacuumed the rooms and wiped the floors I sweated all over (because it’s very humid) and felt tired, just such a routine (Saturday cleaning) seemed to be troublesome. I can’t help but noticing that I have lost much physical energy recently. I think this is because of the lack of the activities in the summer heat :( I have to think of some activities in summer X(

I can only agree that that lack of physical activity can influence us very much. Well, am I happy to have a demanding dog that makes me walk him twice a day, no matter the weather (but not in a downpour or something terrible). :-)

Yes, your dog is good for both of your mind and health :)

I remember my late grandfather(my mother’s father). After he retired on his 60s he had gone out for walking for about 2 or 3 hours every day, just except very snowy day. I don’t think he had done any particular sports in his life, but as an old man he was quite fit until he had the sudden stroke on his daily walking. He was 93 then but the doctor and the nurse thought he was on his 70s when he was brought to the hospital in coma.
So I know well that I should walk more, and every day X)
