Walking 30:00 [2]
MTBjen & Tooms accompanied me on a walk today but I ran a few sections. Mum thought it was weird when I ran up the two hills on the walk but didn't want to run down them. Dad seemed happy enough with me though? We walked on the gravelroad and then on the track Dad runs on and then past the house with the goat to the beach with the pelicans and oystercatchers. I was carrying a map with me and every so often I'd stop and practice my map reading just like I've seen Mum do it - I'd unfold it, stare at it intently and then wander in a slightly curved path away from where I was meant to be walking. Once a nice man with a dog asked Mum and Dad if I belonged to them as I was a long way behind them. Mum wanted to see the map I was reading, it was one Dad had earlier at Bunnings. It was a piece of white paper folded into 4 with a supermarket shopping list on one quarter, some drawings of the chook shed dad was building most of the weekend, and a list of stuff to buy from Bunnings. But it's all practicing reading on the move - although Mum said I wasn't very good at it as I had to keep stopping. I heard her tell Dad that when she thought I couldn't hear. I'll show her. Toh-by came too. Much as reading the map in Dad's blue car is fun (Dad, put map on... peeeez?) this is Real.
