Today I went for my normal run round the park (which is 5 mins walk away), but took a different route and stopped to walk through a bit of woodland. It's lovely walking through the woods early, when there's few people about, just birds tweeting and squirrels running around, plus you get to breathe in the lovely and beneficial phytoncides from the trees and plants, AKA the ancient Japanese art of tree bathing.
After another bit of a run and stopping by the supermarket for a loaf of rye and mixed seed sourdough bread, some fresh orange juice and some oat milk, I got home and had a shower before my morning slice of lemon squeezed into a cup of boiling water, followed by a bowl of Shreddies with the oat milk, while listening to a bit of smooth lounge jazzzzz.
Then I'm refreshed and ready to start my day.
I'd definitely recommend getting out and travelling as if you're going to work, and even better if you can do it via a bit of nature. |  |

Coffee, breakfast, dump, shower, walk the dog, browse on here while watching the news, put dog in the van and off we go to tend the counties gardens...........so no real difference to pre-Covid times for me. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Or a lactating wife? | |

Today's morning routine.
Alarm sounds, I swear and hit snooze.
This routine repeats for 20 minutes.
Finally drag myself out of bed, chuntering about mornings being crap.
Sit in kitchen with a strong coffee and pain au chocolate (dead posh me). Heart 80s playing on the stereo for some cheap nostalgia.
Occasionally look out of the French doors into garden. Grumble about how crap it looks today.
Make a second coffee, cursing that I'd better go upstairs and do some work.
Pop outside to feed the fish. Have a brief conversation with one of my cats as she'd quite like some of the fish food too. Grumble again about the weather.
Make my way upstairs to the office.
I think it is going to be a long autumn/winter. |  |

Amazing how much more relaxed and pleasant the morning routine seems to be for those without kids.
Mine is like herding cats to school and then straight into work. Don't even get my cycle to work at the moment, little time to fit one in during the day and now it's dark and not ideal for one in the evenings.
Oh well, they will be off eventually and then I can perhaps partake in some tree bathing.

Ha, I realised how w@nky it sounded as I was writing it, but oh well, facts don't lie! |
It made me laugh. Don't worry. Each to our own!
When I was younger I used to get up at 6am and exercise. I'm not old but I just can't seem to do it now. Prefer to do it in the evenings. |  | | |

Ha. I similarly poke a mate when he complains about his kids - "it was your lifestyle choice mate".
Of course, on the downside, I will die lonely and unloved, so there is that...... | |

Unless you have a missus (or mister) and die before them.
Or a dog. | |

I have a missus, but suspect she'll have long since ceased loving me by the time we reach old age. She'll hopefully still tolerate me at least!
Cats it is then. | |

I wasn't complaining, just thinking a nice walk in the trees in the morning would be quite pleasant!

Complains is probably the wrong word - bemoans the lack of free time to do nice things is the key thing really. | |
