Putting the garden to bed is not my favourite activity. The days are perfect. I did manage to plant my bulbs the other day and I got some manure around my favourite roses. But I\u2019m slow to get at it. I look for diversions in the morning. I might have gone for a walk but I\u2019m walking tomorrow and I really need a project to get me focused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately I have a new book on the Camino to read &#8211; Walk, Eat, Repeat. So far it looks good. I like the writer and there is a recipe at the end of every chapter. Did I mention that she walks the Frances from St. Jean? If I made every dish, I would have to walk another Camino to lose some weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0872-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0872-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0872-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0872-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0872.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway I have come to a momentary impasse. I need to move forward. I usually know when I\u2019m about to start something new, I start to clean the house. This hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0871-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0871-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0871-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0871-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0871-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_0871.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well maybe this book will be my impetus. Perhaps I have too many stones in the river and it\u2019s damned up rather than streaming along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this poem was sent to me today to make me think about my idleness, my time wasting. I\u2019ve decided to walk to the Brickworks for a coffee and mull over my options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pictures are from the Brickworks.
