A good day for a run

[st_martin_a]

Yesterday I swapped the living room for the dining room. My eldest son wanted a place where he could study at a table for his exams so I moved the sofa into the other room where my other son plays on his x-box. This what it looks like now:


Lol! How do you make the pictures smaller on Dw?

This morning I got up at 7:00 and went for a run. I reckon the pain shouldn't be as bad as last week. I'm hoping for just 2 days of limping around. : /
It was beautiful this morning. Hardly anyone about. I should have taken some pictures, although there may not have been room on my feed for more pictures with the size of them.
I ran along the edge of a lake in the park near me this morning and it was almost like being by the sea. : )
Next week I'll get some pictures.

ok first of all check the lent of your camera and clean it, I dont know why the pics look poor quality but sometimes it's because we are taking pics with the cellphone and the lent is dirty :P
I'll make a post to show you how to make the pictures smaller :)

You're right. They do look poor quality.
Good idea cleaning the lens.
(Lens; not lent)
Someone else has explained how to make the images smaller so hopefully I'll be able to do it now.
Gracias!

I like your lovely sunny bay window. :)

You need to go to your profile > organise > manage images. Then click on the link "view all your images". When this page has loaded, alongside your photos you will see "Image Embed" and "Thumbnail Embed". You want "Thumbnail Embed". Next to the link to copy and paste into your entry you'll see a box with a drop down arrow which defaults to 100. Select the size of the image you want to post (I like 200 - it's what I used in my most recent post), and then copy and paste the link that comes up into your entry using the HTML tab, NOT the Rich Text editor on the post entry page. If you are posting more than one image, make sure you leave a gap or start a new line before posting the next link.

This will make your images in your entry clickable so people can view them full size. Hope that helps.

Thanks!
We'll see if I've managed it next time I post a picture.

The study room looks nice. I like the bookshelves. I hope you're not doing too much damage to yourself in your runs. But I know after a hiatus one has to build up a tolerance again.
I look forward to seeing those pictures of the lake sometime soon! :)

There's probably a few books on there that you'd like - Cold Mountain, Birdsong, lots of music biographies - John Lennon, Bob Marley, ... the making of the film Purple Rain - that book gripped me : ) The Testament of Gideon Mack - that's a crazy novel - a vicar who goes out jogging and meets the Devil... a book of song lyrics by Nick Cave - I'm surprised you've not mentioned him before, quite dark/gothic/brilliant words. Do you know him?

Those do sound like good book selections.
I have another friend on here that's into Nick Cave and I keep forgetting to check out his music. I shall do just that sometime this week! :)
