Slightly shorter circuit of #Royden this morning. Hopefully kinder to the knee. Dodged worst of the showers in Benty’s. Playlist: Afghan Whigs.

Sunny days are good for walking but also for visiting galleries. Accordingly, off to the Williamson again to see art by Steve des Landes, a new exhibition featuring sculptor Adrian Jeans and, in the cafe, a distant view of Liverpool by Eyes(?). Still need to go back for more!

Knee improving but still feeling a little sub-par so similar abbreviated circuit to yesterday. No actual rain but even the pines muddy in places.

Interesting to see Kagi News has added a global tension index. Currently 42°/warm apparently.

Feeling a bit sluggish today so just a short circuit of #Royden from courtyard to Benty’s and back. Slippery in places and a fair amount of surface water but dodged the worst of the rain while “refuelling”.

In Voyages exhibition reminders of Liverpool’s enduring ties with the USofA, including a small flag that found its way there via the moon. Shopping, coffee on the Albert Dock and then home via James St.

To #Liverpool to visit the Walker which was unexpectedly closed as per all NG&MM sites today so into visually stunning Central Library instead to see Picton, Hornby and Oak Rooms. Interesting exhibition on theme of voyages in Hornby.

Dry and a little warmer for this morning’s circuit of #Royden. Coffee and carbs at the courtyard. Knee still a bit wonky so detour via the pines as it’s softer and drier underfoot. The tracks are made by an intrepid guy on a mobility scooter.

Knee in recovery mode so just a #Royden walk from courtyard to Benty’s and back. Quiet with miserable weather not helping. Nice heart-shaped scone in honour of St Val but needs jam for full effect and diet doesn’t extend that far.

Annual Glow Green walk for #Clatterbridge Cancer Hospital is tomorrow. Photos appended from last year’s #Liverpool walk. They do fantastic work and you can donate here…

Looking for somewhere warm and under cover to get a (very) few steps in, went on spec to the Williamson Art Gallery. Delighted to find some excellent new exhibitions. Particularly liked the paintings by resident artist Steve des Landes.

#WestKirby distinctly chilly in a strong easterly breeze this morning. Noted: new cafe where the bookshop was before it moved.
