Evening walk after dinner.

I wouldn't have actually published it, but I found the vodka bottle on the perch and my pattern on the menu funny.
Maybe I'll try to make all the paths on the Ketterberg.

Another round today, right after breakfast, shoes on and off we go. Through partly shady forest and narrow paths it was pleasant.
Had to slow down, I probably broke my minisku on my left knee. And that just now such a crap .😭😭😭
