Although gardening is my quiet time too so sometimes I don't listen to anything. Hope you get to go walking again soon.

I'...I'm glad your experiment was a success. I've been an Audible subscriber for many years (since before they were part of Amazon), and there's no question that audiobooks have helped keep me exercising. I also find them useful when I'm doing mundane chores like folding laundry. I wish you well continuing with your walks as the weather worsens. (Here in CA there will be no walks for me for a while, until the air quality gets better.)Jen Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343476550309656223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-87444360836626610082020-09-11T14:00:25.889+01:002020-09-11T14:00:25.889+01:00Good to know, Penny!

Kelly. A useful reminder and ploy as the weather gets less inviting. <br />The time that "Going For A Walk" takes annoys me too so this may be a good way of solving my problem.<br /><br />However, a small warning, to everyone. Be careful about always listening through the night. So easy to forget to reset the timer once you're a bit groggy and have restarted. <br /><br />I'm saying this, as for various reasons, over the years, I got into the habit of sleeping with speech radio/recordings. <br /><br />It was a way of coping at the time, but eventually I was almost unable to relax and sleep without the sound of speech, which I am sure isn't good for the brain or night time sleep patterns. Over the last month or so, I've been trying to break the habit and it isn't easy.<br /><br />(nb. I've often drifted off to the soporific Melvyn Bragg, and ended up many "In Your Times" episodes later - and with the annoyance of not being able to remember a single item of information either.)Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.com
