Chapter 119 Will i ever learn?

Verse 1

I have started taking walks every day now first thing as i get out of bed. There are of course several reasons why this is good for me so i hope the weather stays reasonably nice for awhile longer.
The walk today ended up taking about 30 minutes longer than intended entirely which was entirely my fault as i went the wrong way. I had the night before even checked the route and thought i had it all figured out. Obviously not as i soon realized.

I hadn't gotten too far when the gnawing suspicion i had even from the setting out proved correct. I had despite both checking the route, feeling uncertain if i was on the right road ended up taking a totally different one from the intended one.
Yes, despite being uncertain i didn't recheck which way to go.

This is not the first time i have done this which is even more reason why i ought to have learned by now. It is not as it is hard to look at a map or use a gps, i have both in my phone for goodness sake!

Well, the blisters on my feet and aching shinbones are now painfully telling me to remember the following:

- Check the map
- Use the gps
- Don't assume you know the way
- Rinse and repeat

Let me also say that i absolutely hate to stand in a strange city looking bewildered at a map when on vacation. I will each and every time rather enter the nearest pub for a beer and figure it out there.
