Hyacinth Orchids on Three Orchid Day : My Actifit Report Card: November 19 2021

Wake to a grey day. It has been raining. Forecast to be more rain later. That got me moving on the bike a little earlier than normal. Get out and ride with a view to finding orchid a day fast in case the rain comes

Large tongue orchid is now flowering on the way up the hill from the water

Rode a bit further up to see if horned orchids are showing. Walked a bit to their site. They are not but there were new large tongue orchids showing

Stayed dry and got the ride and orchid a day in

Dithered the afternoon away on a few projects too many. This is what happens when results are mediocre - focus falls away.

My wife went out for dinner. I did home alone bbq and watched a live stream music show from Anna Weatherup. We saw her a few months back before lockdown.
