30 Complaint-Free Days 

Day 29

Today was the day of the walk which turned out to be 8 miles long. Considering it was local it was a very pleasant walk taking in fields, roads, a village, the sea, country lanes, a coffee shop and a pub! What's not to like?

By the end of the day I had clocked up 23,000 steps which gets the week off to a very good start.

I do like to walk and used to walk far more than I do now.

I watched the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on tv for the first time in the evening and really enjoyed it - especially the Jordanian wave(!). The best bit was seeing bits of Edinburgh. I so enjoyed my stay there in March. It was a birthday pressie from my daughter and son-in-law. I really love the city, which was a surprise to me. I am looking forward to going back later in the year.

I am approaching the end of my complaint-free month of August. I have enjoyed writing about it. I haven't managed to be completely complaint-free - not finding a small bottle of water in a supermarket got the better of me, and I do remember a few complaints earlier in the month, though I can't remember what I complained about. I suppose that is the point - if I can't remember what I was complaining about only a few weeks later then it clearly wasn't worth having a moan in the first place! 

They say that before complaining you should ask whether it will still be important in a year and if not, then let it go. Wise words, I think.

I will miss writing a short blog each day. Maybe I should find another topic to write about?!
