Another walk today, 16 miles again. It rained cats and dogs a few times. As long as you’re not cold the rain is not a great problem, though I must admit I prefer a litttle sun. I didn’t tape my feet, and though my feet were soaking wet, no blisters. Before the day trip started

Between 6.30 PM and 10.40 PM I walked another 12 miles. In between I still worked 30 min. in my vineyard. So a pace of > 3,3 miles/hour. Again a heavy rain shower. But when well dressed that is no problem, even though a little sun would be more pleasant. I used no tape. No

Sometimes live is difficult. Three days ago I wanted to go to horses Jo in order to get Luka waterproof. First he refused to get on the trailer. Fortunately Hans passed by and gave me a hand. And then the river we wanted to walk to, Jo riding, I walking with Luka, proved to be
