Apple muncher's number crunching

apple_muncher

Looking back, it flew by! We deliberately chose to be back with several days to spare before starting back to school... Seemed the best thing to do.


We all slept for over 10 hours, despite the previous long nap. Hopefully we are back on GMT+1...


I have done a weigh and measure. Sigh. And a base-line workout. Plus 5 mins of 5KB swing, clean + press and windmill.

Welcome home! That sounds a great "on toast" mix that you made up!

Took dd to the dietitian today, who was pleased with things - height, weight, vit d, gf, and she even mooted about maybe only going every 2 years...

Dh did a food shop and managed to only spend £31. Go him! Must be because he didn't buy any chocolate. He says that there wasn;t any, but I don't reckon 85% choc can be that popular...

Got some bargain wool. Shame that socks take so long to knit up...

Dd has sorted through and discarded some dolls this eve. Go her!

Hmm. Jetlag kicked in big time last night, none of us slept much. But I got myself upby 7.30 so as to do my workout before getting the others up around 8.


16x15/15: mountain climber/jump squat
5 mins of: 10 sumo squat with knee lift + 5 each 1-leg shrimp squat = 4 rounds and 4 squats.


Off to town asap, to collect dd's new specs. And visit liddle, the w0rks, pr3t (neeeeed coffeeeee!), £ emporium and maybe a ch shop. Another sunny day ahead - not quite Texas heat, but pleasant enough.

Dd's new specs look fab - and she can now see clearly, which is always good...

Liddle had decaf coffee - so we bought 4 packs as we were on our last one.

The W0rks had nowt. Pr3t had coffee. No ch shop. £ shop provided some items for dgs's bday next month, some wool (3 for 2) that dh encouraged me to get, and some other bits and bobs.

Dd got to play out for most of the afternoon and I pottered on with knitting. Tomorrow I aim to sew up all the ears and attach them to the socks before sewing up the socks - lesson learned from trying to attach ears and embroider eyes and whiskers once dd's rather long sock was already sewn up...

A little extra teaching has been confirmed for the next academic year. Just 3 lessons over a fortnight, but should be lovely to do.

Dh got out early(ish) for his optician appt - no real change in his prescription, but ongoing issues, and cataracts starting.

I also got up early and did a workout - 24x10/20:
-side lunge jump w touchdown
-pendulum
-sandbag clean
-mini squat

Dd, on the other hand, surfaced just before 11!


We took 2 more bags to the Sally Army and bought dd a lovely winter coat in great condition for 50p, using £6 of credit.


I did sew up the mouse and fox ears, and they are all attached. Now knitting the 2nd adult fox sock. I am very pleased that my hands are doing ok with all the knitting. I had a snickers the other afternoon and both my pinky fingers and that side of my hands hurt later on. I really haven't sussed the 'action and consequence ' thing...


Didn't get much done off today's list, so will try again tomorrow...

Happy Easter!

Hooray to the knitting, but sorry to hear about incipient cataracts with OH at least they'll be fixable, of course, but still.

Have a lovely holiday break

apple_muncher

Thoroughly enjoying today.

Did another workout:
6x10/30 12k KB swing
25 each 1-leg shrimp squat with 12k KB
6x10/30 12k KB fore and back lunge
6x5/55 Stability ball pass/superman

Church was good - well it should be, it being Easter and all that!

Dh went into neighbour's gdn to paint our fence whilst I tackled the back fence with all its upright planks and gaps and fiddly bits. We finished the back and gate between us and have a little woodstain left, but prob need 2 more bucketfuls to safely get it all finished. The wood was really thirsty - but it hasn't been done for many, many years! It was lovely to be out in the sunshine.


Dh is feeling the 'need to do something' tomorrow. Along with the rest of the country... Oh dear...

Ponderations...


About going out to Oz one Cmastime... I suggested to dh doing it the year we'll celebrate 21 yrs, ie 2022. He doesn't want to wait that long! He seems to have realised that this year is a wee bit too soon, so it may happen in 2020...


Need to do some costings...
