One of the pleasures of living in a compact urban neighborhood is the convenience of walking for a morning newspaper, especially if there are a variety of local, national and international newspapers to choose from. Having the papers delivered is pleasant but it means you don't have to leave the house till well on into the morning. The 1 km. walk before reading the papers is refreshing. Being able to conveniently and pleasurably walk for most of life's necessities is a remarkable change from a car oriented suburban life.

Work - 6 km return.
Groceries - 1-7 km return.

Still mainly centered in the house, although I'm managing short walks into town. Weather is hot and humid.
Coincidentally, a short distance away by the Peterborough bus station is a mural painting of Ghost Mountain in Alberta, a connection with our western residence. A stimulating view if you can ignore the unnecessary and intrusive biblical quote.

Moving into new accommodations and walking many kilometres without leaving the house. Unpacking and doing repairs and changes. Occasional walk into town. Shopping. Getting accustomed to a new place.

Enjoying the beauty of day-to-day life in Lethbridge, although I spent the 16th. in Calgary cleaning out my mother's basement so she can sell the house. Good practice for the endless days getting prepared to move to Peterborough, and then to come back. It would be easier just to move everything than to figure out what needs to go and what I will need in January.

Had a pleasant walk downtown and back on Tuesday, thought it might be the last chance I had to enjoy the weather in a relaxed way. I'm now enjoying it in a busy way.
Very hot today and hotter tomorrow.
