GIS break !

Take a walk


Annual leave 😁


Water the garden or walk the dogs while I catch a few minutes of my latest audiobook. Getting out of the house and into nature is a great way to hit the reset button.


Going for a bike ride!


If the weather agrees, I will take a walk around the block.  :)
