Love & More - Act 4

 

Picture taken by Kiity after a 9km walk

We added to the history of walking today. The most I consider we have done together - 9Km. Actually more than 9km but let's use the 9-limit today.  

Courtesy the CU Alumni walking challenge in March 2025, I took walking to another level. and Yes, you can say I carried....or should I use dragged...Kiity along with me. 


One of our many walks was at the Cherry Blossom park...Here is a picture in February 2025. 

26th February 2025. 

And then, another picture taken in late March 2025. 

It had blossomed as at 27th March 2025.
                                       
The walks could be through the Amsterdam Bos or around the Amstelveen Poel. I was contemplating walking to Aalsmeer. Kiity pulled back on this one.  





It is always amazing to take the walks with you. I seem to come alive when we do this and can talk on and on. Or maybe I listen on and on, now that I think of it. Kiity would be the best judge of this. 

I averaged 7km per day walking in a week when I measured in February. It seems the tempo has dropped, However, I am increasing the fire with a return to biking. I still need to break the jinx of riding all the way to the office. It is not fun when you have to ride 10km, but I see people do it everyday. It is much easier with an electric bike but that is just an excuse as my colleagues do it with the regular bikes. 

Let's see what I would say next month. 

We try to build memories. I hope we are doing this as I have not been consistent with the Wednesday timeouts. We seem to be building a tradition already with the Friday movie or Friday study. We alternate each Friday. 

But for the walks, this would continue.

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

Love & More - Act 2

 It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen.  Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together?   Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall.  and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...
