I made it out for a rollator walk in the fresh snow! Yay!!!

- Another freezing hand print!

- Found birb tracks in the snow 🥰

- Did another rollator donut! But this time I attempted “drifting”… yeah, not so simple! Needed brakes on to get the sliding going but it wasn’t very smooth.

- Also mesmerised by the tracks left by the crampons on my shoes! (They made diamonds!) OMG everyone needs crampons on their shoes when there is ice - they’re amazing.

In addition to that: this was the first time I have exercised in the morning in about 11 months. I am usually too unwell. So today was a very weird day and not sure how or why I managed it, but taking it as a positive without getting attached to the idea or needing to repeat it any time soon. A pleasant surprise!

Only down side was that we needed to convert the rollator into a wheelchair (it’s a 2-in-1) and have my partner push me home toward the end. Darn it. I started to get very breathless (common ME/CFS and POTS symptom), which meant lots of cold air moving quickly through my airways and then my usually-well-managed asthma decided to react to the cold and join the party. BUT no other health crashes, just asthma and breathlessness, so since I had time to recover from the asthma attack, I have been feeling pretty good. Yay! Walked slowly, plenty of seated breaks… well hydrated, rested, nourished, good temperature control… So I’m hoping no PEM later / tomorrow. Fingers crossed. ❄️

Video of snow sparkles in next post! ❄️✨

Photo from above of fresh powdery snow with two sets of bird tracks going across it. The tracks look like they are from the same species of bird with 3 toes in front and one long toe at the back.Photo from above of snow with patterns from the crampons on my shoes. They criss cross over the soles of my shoes, sometimes making diamonds and sometimes leaving pretty X shapes.Photo from above of fresh snow with a human hand print in it.Photo of snow with tracks from my rollator’s wheels going in a relatively tight circle. The circle looks a bit wobbly on one side where I was trying to drift, which means allow the wheels to slide round the corner… usually done in a car at speed on a slippery surface!
