May 30: Walking, shopping, and movies

I went out for a walk, knowing that on the way back I’d pick up some things at the grocery store. It was often sunny and in the mid 50s, so a nice spring day by Sandnes standards. Here are some highlights.

They have a very nice park that runs along a river. I believe it is about 4 miles long with playgrounds, sand volleyball, and picnic areas along the way. It is a great walking or jogging trail.

I mentioned this park previously, with its layout of the planets over the 4 miles. The starting point is the sun, which is this massive stainless steel ball about 4 feet high. It makes for interesting reflections.

I ran into Tina’s husband at the grocery store. While he offered me a ride home, I had one more stop to make, and I chose to walk on the beautiful day. You can’t get bandaids (or aspirin/ibuprophen) in the grocery store, so it means going to the Apotek, or drug store.

I baked a cake today, hoping to invite Tina’s family over, but then they were out of town. I also made a loaf of bread and did some laundry. Other tasks included online bill pay, emails, and work related tasks.

I picked up some chili powder and fixings, so we finally had chili for dinner.

After dinner, we watched the Princess Diaries 1 & 2 with Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews. I think that Anya likes the sequel better than the first. That is rare, but this one might count.

So, after the busy week of seminar and writing, today was a day to kick back a bit.

With blessings,

Beth
