My foot is gradually improving. Because I'll be carrying a lot of stuff for the renovations next week, putting extra strain on my foot, I'm taking it easy on the walks for a while.
Mirjam and I walked around Zegerplas and a bit along the Kromme Aar. We walked in the drizzle until we reached the pancake

Last week, Paul and I took a walk through my childhood in Overschie. It brought back many fond memories, but also some intense ones. It inspired us to take another walk on the north side of Overschie, and we decided to continue today.
We walked along the Overschie lakes and around Veerhuiseiland. This

Unfinished Business
On January 25th, we had to cancel our walk from Maassluis to the beach at Hoek van Holland due to a painful foot. I'm far from petty, but I was in tears: an acute form of heel spur!
After a period of rest, exercises, insoles, and careful movement without forcing, it was time for a second

Dark Pages in a Golden Book
I was born in Coolsingel Hospital. After a trip to Switzerland for my father's work—where my mother absolutely couldn't settle in—we were back on the platform at Rotterdam Central Station a year later. After a short stay with my grandmother, we quickly found a place to live

My foot will probably still be acting up for a bit, but if I manage this, I'll take it easy and go for a walk. Especially since we stopped a few times to take some pictures. Wonderful walking weather, by the way. No wind and not really cold.

Due to my injury, longer walks aren't possible at the moment. So, a short (5k) walk, but in lovely weather.

I'm really struggling with one of my feet. Rest is necessary, but doing nothing at all isn't good either, and long walks aren't an option right now.
So, a short walk with @Paul and Bibi (dog) through the Hennipgaarde.
It's gray, but it's still nice to be outside.

I'm seriously suffering from heel spurs. I've been putting a lot of strain on my body due to DIY projects, and I don't always wear sturdy shoes. Now I have to go to the supermarket for half an hour with special insoles. The insoles significantly reduce the pain, but it doesn't feel right.

No long distances due to injury. Today, though, I had a nice walk through Amsterdam. Paul and I went to see Sting's The Last Ship at Carré. We got off the train at Amsterdam Central Station and wandered around for a bit.
We browsed the record store and had a bite to eat at the Italian restaurant.
Now... Sting!

Actually, I was supposed to work this afternoon. There's still plenty of renovation work to be done at home.
But with this weather, I just can't stay inside.
Even though there's the best sushi waiting, a 25-year-old Lagavulin, my sweetheart in her Jessica Rabbit outfit, a new season of The Diplomat, newly
