Day 2088 - Walking in the dark

The pre-dawn winter walk ....

It's spooky out there at 6.00am.  Especially around the lake when it's dark and foggy.  We're on a path which we can see for around 5 metres ahead of us before it disappears into the grounded clouds. It guides us enough.  It's quiet. Nothing is awake yet, not even the birds.  We hear a rustle. Kangaroo?  Sure hope that's all it is.  So we break the silence with our chatter to calm the fear as we continue to power along this well trodden route.  A duck voices annoyance on the lake.  Life.  We leave in the dark and arrive home in the dark awakened and fresh in the knowledge that it's done. We're done.  Ready to start the day.
