When I started the November Daily Blog as part of the NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) challenge I had the intention of using it as an incentive to do something different and interesting every day.

That ambition took a knock when I damaged the ligament in my knee which proved to be annoyingly reluctant to respond to treatment.  Therefore, though I have managed a few interesting ‘wild walks’, most notably in ‘Waterfall Country’ in the Brecon Beacons National Park, most of my rambling through the month has been of the reflective kind.  Despite that I managed to post each day, often in the few minutes before midnight or just before going out to meet friends for a pint.

Has it been worth doing?  Well, yes, in that it forced me to look for things of interest from a more sedentary lifestyle, one to which I am not accustomed but which may one day become more necessary as the ageing process progresses.  Hopefully that’s a long way off.  It hasn’t hit my uncle yet and he’s in his 90^th year.

Time constraints have made it difficult to come up with ideas for the blog some days, though I have to admit that I do perform better under the pressure of deadlines. Nevertheless, I will return to posting blogs every few days now rather than daily and hopefully, as there are signs of my knee improving, I’ll be able to get back out on a few more wild walks.  And I head for the Canadian Rockies in January for a month.
