Postcard0320 300x215 Ladies for tea & a stroll down the streets of Minsk

This arrived from London and although there's nothing Londony about it, a smile covered my face when I set eyes on these charming women with their cone-shaped hats. The black and white just gives it more old-time authenticity.

On the same day, I found a street in Minsk in my letterbox. I must confess to having a dearth of knowledge about this city or the country it belongs to - Belarus. So I did a search using, no, not Google, but Alexa (which is powered by Google anyway) and can direct you to this site http://www.privet-minsk.com/

It's a term I coined today to capture the two specific activities of running and touring which happen concurrently. This development has been a long time a coming. I have written before how I have no qualms in pausing a training run to take in breathtaking views, to admire the appearance of an uncommon species of wildlife or, with nose to the ground, to sniff at a floral specimen of lilliputian size.

This morning I decided to take it a step further by carrying my Sanyo Xacti movie cam in a waist bag. With photography being another of my interests, I have often rued the missed opportunities which arise during a dawn run. However, I have now resolved this quandary by committing myself to the occasional tourun.

I can see where this is going. Next will be snacks on some craggy cliff face and, with the warming of the weather, a plunge into a cool pool of water far away from the popular bathing places. All these sensory pleasures will still be bookended by a pair of running shoes carrying me to and from my destination.
