I currently live here. A view of Valderrey. Algete street scene No. 21.

Superb shot!

Thank you, William!

Andy, yep! sounds like a great way to gain strength and mobility.... a really nice shot Andy! be careful as you go up and down! :)) best wishes, Sarah

I confess to not doing it every day but I make up for it by adding other flights of steps to this one on the odd day, turning 98 steps into over 300, separated by walks on the flat in between so I do get a chance to get my breath back! It seems to be doing the trick for my legs; please see my reply to Gabi below!
Many thanks, Sarah!

Agradable lugar para vivir.

Thanks to my sister!

A house with a view! Congrats for doing the steps twice;-) I'd manage going up but down is hard on the knees...

They always used to tell me that in mountain walking groups - and I still don't see that walking downhill is harder than walking up! Not in my book, anyway!! :o)

Nice streetscape Andy.

You are a sucker for punishment by the sound of it! I feel exhausted just thinking about those steps!! Still, the view from your house would be a compensation.

Thank you Eunice. I can't say it's my house. My sister bought it from her hard earned and deserved retirement moneys. She was the office manager at a well known pharma company and was the longest serving member of staff and basically ran the day to day operations of it single-handedly. (She's been asked to return countless times!)
Her retirement package was deservedly handsome, enabling her to put down a goodly deposit!

The view is the prize for the exercise, LOL!

I enjoy my daily exercises, Isabel (and this is but one of many!)

a beautiful place to live, it seems

This road and style of houses could also be here in Britain as you know Andy. As Eunice above says, steep roads and even steeper flight of steps for you. Is that good? Perfect exercise or exhaustion? Anyway, as you say, great views from up there and as far as I can tell, it is only doing you good.

Keep cool, from a hot England.. Herb

I doubt your temps are hitting 40 just yet, Herb! My exercises take on a whole different hue in this heat (red, mainly as in red of face and sunburn - but I do take precautions of course!)

Beautiful and interesting place******************

Great exercise Andy, and we can see why you get such good views from your sister's house!
Have a good new week.

the daily exercise you do is shurely the best medicine for your legs!!

Absolutely spot on, Gabi!
My girlfriend has always liked my legs (I'm pleased to say!) and puts it down to my years of rock climbing and mountain walking and I think she could be right.
But when I suffered from a bad case of Covid 2 years ago, I woke up after a 2 month long induced coma in intensive care to find that my legs had become like two sticks of month old celery and it's taken me 18 months to get the strength back in them. A lot of hard work and it has to continue!
At least my girlfriend likes them again! :o)

Hi Andy
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition
Great colours too
A nice hill to walk up, and nice views. I'm sure you are happy!!
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Thank you, Peter!
Happy of course!
Best wishes,
Andy

The houses look really lovely, Andy. I must admit I do love the views from your sister's house - stunning sights, especially when there is a storm on its way. I must say that to go up 98 steps AND back again twice sounds horrendous to me. I can't manage my 22 stairs in my home, I have to crawl up them instead. After what you've been through though - I admire it so much.

Jenny, believe me it's the memory of me doing 10 steps with a frame and having to rest for two whole days afterwards that stays firmly in my mind. I appreciate just how very lucky I am that I am able to regain strength in my legs as I never, at one time, thought I would. I read the posts from the likes of you and, of course Fred, and I realise how very very lucky I have been in being allowed the possibility of a recovery of sorts. Believe me, I'm ever so grateful. and I feel ever so humble.

Stairs like that are great fitness equipment, Andy. :)
I wish you a good time there and nothing but the best!

Well, it's 'phew!'' all the timeand a quick retreat into a cold shower!

:))

Happy to know places that are familiar to you!!!
