Back to the walk around the lake - it's about 2 miles. It took 40 minutes compared to the usual 30 but at least, I managed to do the whole thing.

The ice is almost gone from the lake - what a difference a week makes!! And the ducks are back. Not many geese yet. I saw snowdrops and the greenery for crocuses and tulips today. Looks like spring is really here!

Alas, no weights or other toning exercises. I tried leg raises and it was stressful on my incision so probably will have to hold off on that for 6 weeks (OK, another 5!)
