Good morning tooters. I was up & at ‘em fairly early today & it was just a 12c start. Today we’re supposed to reach 29c & there’s a lot of cloud around, so it either won’t get there or it’ll be humid.
Much excitement here in Wodonga before 8am, a rarity for this area although not unheard of. Hot air balloons, the green one looked like a turtle 🐢. #Weather #DawnOnTheDong
After checking the balloons out I head to my old haunt walking around the Murray River & I haven’t walked for over a month, so thoroughly enjoyed this. No other walkers around until I was nearly finished but lots of bike riders including a number obviously riding to work. Nearly 6km done, so not bad. I thought I might struggle a bit but all the swimming I’ve done has obviously served me well.
I have no at home jobs that need doing so the rest of my day will be quiet.
Hope everyone has a lovely #Wednesday take care out there 🌻. #RiverWalk #MightyMurray #Exercise
@feather1952 the turtle one is out from England (if it's the same turtle that was in Canberra last week). https://hercanberra.com.au/city/is-that-a-flying-turtle-the-2026-canberra-balloon-spectacular-special-balloon-has-been-annouced/
