I ran about fifteen miles on the trails today, sunny but cold. A marvellous light varies the trees. When I got back I put on a few layers and a hat til my temperature settles, then here's the NDN at the door - 'How was your run?' - with a jug of piping hot soup - 'Every vegetable you can think of. Have some now while it's hot'. Thanks m'dear, you all ok? How's S. Not so bad. Mind the step. Stay warm now.
The NDNs are in their seventies. I sit thinking autumnal thoughts about ephemeral connections and uncomplicated acts of kindness.
Hi Kevin,
15 miles, really ? So it is something like 25 km ! Half a marathon ! Good !
But what is the meaning of NDN ?
And by the way... the URL of the following post is quite long... this could cause problems to some. Long URL but very good content.

hi Gilles - sorry about the long url, it's a peculiarity of Typepad but I have just copied and pasted the whole thing into a new post, so it has a shorter url, not exactly concise. I hope it doesn't that doesn't cause linking confusion.
NDN is next door neighbour: the lady next door to me is the doyenne of neighbouring, I am very lucky to have her there, and I fear sometimes that my posts might result in someone trying to kidnap her. This fear of course promotes 'good' neighbouring on my part as I keep an eye out for her, out of selfishness :-)
And as for 25km on the trails on a fine day - it's hard for me to think of a better way to spend the time. (But you have to be in reasonable shape to enjoy it).
