Slow Living - Doing It Old Style!

@London_1 - sounds like a lovely day, I hope the dogs have recovered 🤞

So, happy new year to you all!! 😁🥳 

My day was slightly fraught yesterday due to an incident with an badly behaved dog walker but other than that I had a peaceful one 🙄🤦‍♀️😂 

I started my new vegan storecupboard challenge thread, got my inventories posted and I have a hard copy here at home so that I can monitor my stock and actually do the challenge properly this year!! 😂 I've earmarked the things I've had for a long time as the things to tackle early and I am looking forward to making some random stuff - I also want to get the downstairs freezer defrosted in the next month or two so the stuff in there is a high priority 😁

Today I have no major plans - I'm going to do my morning yogic practices, a bit of cleaning, some cooking and perhaps a bit of reading later. Dh will be watching footie at some point (not sure what times they're on today) so I may have an epsom salt bath then a yoga nidra practice while he does 🤔 

Tomorrow I'm going to be processing the horse chestnuts I foraged a while back to use for laundry and I may start off some more fire bricks too - it may take a while for them to dry but it's worth utilising the greenhouse space before I need it again in the spring. I may go for a beach walk tomorrow - I haven't been there for a couple of weeks and now the holidays are over it should be back to its deserted normality 😍

Chamomile tea time! Have a fab slow day 😁🐌

Its nice to see the holiday makers when they arrive bringing much needed cash to the local economy, but its also nice when life gets back to normal again 
I too enjoy the walks on my local Appley Beach and the delicious coffee or hot chocolate treat in the cafe there.
Just sitting watching  the cruise ships  going out to sea on a sunny day like today is lovely I just have to peg out some washing then I'll be off myself for a walk through the park and down to the beach

I was going to go and look around a local Xmas market at a church today, but I feel too tired as I had my therapist yesterday followed by a very intense physio session. I just ran a magnesium salt bath and will relax at home instead.

I am reading a book called How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body at the moment. I think I have read it before, but this is the updated version with added parts. There is a section on visualisation so I am going to start meditating and visualising at home as I just bought a yoga mat a few weeks ago. I go to a meditation group class but I thought I should carry it on at home too. At my reiki class the other day the group leaders were playing a nice piece of music that I recognised from when I did reiki level 1 and I wanted to ask them what it was as it would be nice to have that playing in the background when I meditate.

I am calling my friend from uni who lives abroad this afternoon which should be nice to catch up. I need to sort out my passport and go and visit her next year.

It is very warm again today, I don't like cold weather, but this is starting to feel very strange to be so warm in November!
