Day out in Soller with Debra. We caught a bus to Palma and then the old SF train into Soller. Walked to port and had menu de dia. I had mixed salad followed by breaded hake. In the evening we wandered around Palma and had tapas, order comprising eight items including Russian salad, egg, anchovy thing, curried chicken, mushrooms, muscles, potato in olioli, and olives. I bought a really good walking map of the GR routes and left it on the bus!

Meal at Baan Thai with Yvonne
On this morning Parkrun my leg muscle ached as I walked down to Hillsborough park. I should have known…it was a sign! I got round lap one in less than 8 mins but then pain started in my right leg. I didn’t stop and by the third lap I was in agony. I couldn’t walk until the following Tuesday.
