My phone alarm didn't work this morning.  The battery went dry overnight.  I set it for 6:30.   I woke up around 6 to go for a walk with my aunt. She made me some coffee and I made some breakfast.   I couldn't believe how cold it was this morning.  Lots of dew and probably about 4 degrees C.    I dressed for the weather and we went for a walk.  I vaguely remember the walk from when I was 10 but you really don't appreciate things when you ar...
