Influenza A has departed, gone off in search of new and greener pastures. Now it's time to try and recover some of the physical fitness which evaporated when we were sitting around coughing and feeling sorry for ourselves. So we've been walking again.


Enforced idleness wasn't all bad. I watched a lot of youtube clips involving brainy and/or holy people chatting about the nature of life, the universe and everything. I read a bit. I got my daily practice of silence sauntering along quite smoothly. I got ducks in a row and joined dots and had a few aha moments.


Since my last Camino in 2015 there is something which I sort of understand but find it hard to wrestle into words. CS Lewis once said "any fool can speak learned language. The vernacular is the real test. If you can't put your faith into it then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it." I used to have that printed and hanging on the wall where I could see it when I wrote sermons. Perhaps now ive got my ten years of hazy understanding tamed enough to fit into words. Perhaps I'm nearly ready to start explaining. Watch this space. But for now, heres some pictures from the week past.

Sunday October 12 2025. We'll be going to Australia soon. One of the best things about Sydney is that it has hundreds, literally, of wonderful walks, and we intend to do at least one of them a day. We need to get fit again, so we are walking for at least an hour every day. Today I notice this plant on a neighbour's fence as we set off.

Monday October 13 2025. We catch the bus into town with our little one in a pushchair, and walk around the streets.

Tuesday October 14 2025. we repeat yesterday's formula. The weather isn't great but the cathedral and the art gallery are great places for our little girl to use up some energy

Wednesday October 15 2026. As well as our main walk of the day we take a few minor expeditions to the end of the street and back.

Thursday October 16 2026. The part of Dunedin where we live is pretty flat, except for the gutbusting little hill we must climb to get back home. Once we leave home we can travel a fair way in an hour.

Friday October 17 2025. I test the camera just before we walk out of our gate. Yep, seems to be working.

Saturday 18 October 2025. We don't have to walk on the pavement. There's a lot of beaches within an easy distance from our place.
