Thank you karma. I think he's had a good day. We have sm curry for tea - splashing out, eh?

The felting is indeed a revelation! I luuurve it :rotfl:. I made a penguin today .

I have recycled a bunch of old textboks today. Not used 'em in a looonng time. I have also streamlined 2 bags of ra1nbow mag1c books into 1 bag ready to take to oxfam sometime. Plus the farcical m011y mak3s mags I got - on offer thankfully, but still a waste of a good £5...


Tomorrow's adventurising takes me to bham to go and see mum. I'm staying in an airbnb place right by the station, so we'll see how that goes. I'm not going to rush to travel (I could be on a train by 9 if I so chose) and the forecast is a bit wet and windy, and I've had enough of getting wet! Whether I go and visit other people is a bit weather-dependant. I may just hunker down with my book and t'web...

Hope it goes well for your visit tomorrow. And yes, no point rushing - thats a good one to learn

I didn't rush, but did have a good journey, straight onto whichever means of transport I was aiming for. I had about an hour with mum before big sis arrived and we then went to the Ramada for coffee. Or rather tea, fruit tea and fizzy water. Then I came to my Airbnb place. It's weird being in a room in somebody's house.

I went out to meet big sis at the little train station, so we caught up with our latest news. Then I spent the rest of the evening in my room. Did a workout when the owner took the dog (she's dog-sitting) for a walk, then just read, utubed and needlefelted.

Today is dry and there's some sunshine outside. I don't plan to see mum again as I'm sneezing and just want to be in my own home. I have 3 items to redonate to the ch shop as mum's reaction to them showed that she'd never wear them, so I have to loiter until 9.

I'll get dressed and packed, fill my water bottle, then go for a coffee in c0sta, get my brekkie in sainz, drop off the clothes and find a train home.

Ooh but that coffee was perfect! Dropped the items at the ch shop, bought breakfast and was on the 9.14 train and home for 12.40. Dd came to meet me off the bus, which was very lovely.

In my absence, they took themselves to cex yesterday and came away with a wii u thingy, which they then spent the afternoon setting up. And since I got home, I've watched the rugby and felted 2 penguins, and they've been happily updating the gizmo. So everyone's happy.




I watched some zuzka light utube videos last night, and was particularly impressed with her 'favourite exercises' ones. She is just so, so strong, esp in her core. Awesome.

Today I was on kids klub and the usual summer programme involves taking them down to the park/playground. Except when it rains. Like it did today. We had 21 children, which is a lot for the summer. And by the time the session finished, the sun was shining nice and warmly... Oh well.

Dd and I have deliberately had a lot less screen time today, which has been good. We are packed and ready for tomorrow's adventurising.

First, I have a hosp appt to get to, which dd has said she wants to come along to. Hence getting packed today. We should have loads of time to get back to the station and I anticipate stopping off in a coffee shop to wait for dh.

The forecast is dry. Yay! But we've still packed out waterproofs...


I have a printout of the ZCUT cardio workouts. My ideal is to be doing them on the sand in the mornings...

Karmacat

Have a great time adventurising

The weather really isn't on your side at the moment. Fingers crossed for some drier weather to enjoy what's left of the holidays.

apple_muncher

Yay! We have sunshine! So much so that I had to close some curtains as it was so bright!


For the first time in forever, I woke up at 7.50. Usually it starts with a 6 in the hols... Dd and I were finished packing and left by 9.20 for my hosp appt. When I was seen, it was remarkably quick, simple and clear. But I was only seen when I enquired as to how late the clinic was running, as it was 15 mins after my appt time. Turns out that I'd not been checked in properly when I'd checked in 30 mins earlier... sigh. Anyhow, we still had plenty of time to catch our train. And I found out that I prob have two hernias but an ultrasound will show how many I have and then they can telescopically sort me out...


We enjoyed the journey to the Island and have been to the rip-off c00p for some food.


We're fitting around dh's dd1 for seeing her + gs, so it's a day-by-day sorting out what we're doing as it depends on her day-by-day workload.


Tomorrow I plan to go down to the beach and do a BW workout. The forecast is dry .

apple_muncher

A rather disturbed night, as ever in a new place, so I got up just after 6, dressed and headed to the beach for my workout.


ZCUT cardio #1: 50 burpees in total (I split into 10s in between the rest of the exercises); 10 jump tuck; 20 jump lunge; 30 crab kick; 40 jack with side leg lift. It took me 12m55.


It wasn't even 7am by this point, so I went for a little explore, returning by 7.30. I was tempted to go for a little run, but remembered how I overdid it last time by swimming too. And swimming is on the cards for today. So I refrained...


I am showered. I have my coffee. And a book. All is well.
