Today, the men who usually run came along to walk with me. It was too warm for running, and all the other women were unavailable.

In addition, there was a huge flea …

I was so shocked that I forgot to stop. When we came back from running, my colleague's bike had been stolen, the fence had been cut and it was stolen. Much worse, his glasses were in the saddlebag.

And the squirrel on the windowsill was scared away by a car. And I couldn't capture the song of a robin for you either. But it was wonderful to be out …
