Optimistic October: The Hallowe'en House
I'm trying to stop ruminating about how things in the past could have done better, and things I could have done differently (hindsight is a good thing, but it turns me obsessive), and start thinking about reasons to be optimistic about the future.
1) I have a lot of social things coming up next month, including the first in-person Stag Walkers' AGM since 2019;
2) Christmas will hopefully not be subject to any kind of coronavirus restrictions that stop any of the usual celebrations from happening; and
3) Next week, with any luck, someone will come to paint my bedroom, and there will be no more cancellations.
I'm trying to have a bit of downtime today, which I like to have once in a while to stop me feeling too physically and mentally exhausted. I did attempt to make some edits to the report I'm doing for Stag Walkers; it's almost there, without worrying too much about detailed content, but the website seemed to be experiencing some issues this morning, which didn't help me with getting all the information I wanted.
We had a walk today to the "Hallowe'en house" which we've seen in town. It was decorated really well a couple of years ago, and if there hadn't been a small crowd of people standing in front of it to witness us, I'd have probably got a picture (as implied before, I hate taking pictures in front of people who might turn judgy, mostly because of a couple of unfortunate incidents in the past).
There weren't so many decorations this year, but it was still worth taking a shot.
Plenty of fungi on our walk.
Here's a treat to have with tonight's dinner.
I've managed to log 903m for the CLIMB-IT for WaterAid Challenge on Strava. I don't think I'll break the 1K mark.
