2024-06-02 Slow worm
====================

The name is great. In German we call slow worms Blindschleiche, a
blind sneak. Saw one today on the forest road as I was jogging after
the rain.

It was a small one, but unafraid!

… with my feet in running sandals for size

The sandals you see in the picture above are my running sandals. See a
review by Benjamin Baugh from nearly 10 years ago.

I was running through the forest on the hill behind us:

A forest road with lots of trees it is green and wet

This map from 1925 shows all the land between the river and the forest
that used to be agriculture and now it's mostly just the city…
