I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to make sure I actually tried the route before suggesting it.
I took the path behind the garden wall early this morning and it was much easier than the steep hill by the shops.
The ground was dry, there were only a few cyclists, and the trees gave enough shade the whole way. I think you would like it, especially if you go before it gets busy.
I did notice one sharp turn near the old bench, so just keep left there and you should be fine. I also brought the lighter jacket and that turned out to be the right call because the air changed quickly around noon, and I almost turned back when DnCDgHyJMBkzUY the wind picked up for a minute.
If you want, I can mark the turn points more clearly next time so it feels less like guessing.

I checked the notebook again after dinner, and yes, the blue cover one is the version with the longer list inside.
I moved it to the second shelf because the edge was curling on the table and I did not want it bent any further.
The sketches near the middle are much clearer than I remembered, and I added a small note in the margin so I would not forget what we talked about last week. I also found the pencil case tucked underneath a stack of magazines, which explains why it seemed to disappear for days.
I still think the first idea feels the most practical, mostly because it leaves room to change things later without redoing everything from the beginning.
Let me know if you want me to bring all of it over tomorrow, because I can stop by after lunch and hand it off when DnCDgHyJMBkzUY the hallway is finally quiet again.
