Been boosting and liking toots from my other account, but also from friends and some friends of friends... π
Will have to pack my bags a bit further for the vacation tomorrow. But not all clothes were dry just yet...
Almost home, so another walk has been done. Though it's weird to walk just for the sake of walking... It's so much more fun with either a dog or a friend, although my music helped. π
According to my watch, I'm at about 4800 steps now. So in a few hours, I may go for another walk (or maybe two), depending on the weather.
Catch you all later folks, most likely from my beige Journey account. π§πΌββοΈ
