A Creative Spirit
Many of us like to set ourselves short—or long-term goals. Maybe we want to lose weight, up our fitness regime for a planned holiday, or improve our overall health. I know my limit, and my body sets the bar relatively low. But any win above the norm is a win, right? When my DIL, Amy,... Continue Reading →
Last Sunday, we finally enjoyed a respite from the rainy weather, which allowed me to catch up on laundry and gardening. I say respite but it was still cold and windy. Mosquitoes and Fly Repellants Of course, when the sun did appear, so did the wretched mosquitoes. They are out in force, breeding like crazy... Continue Reading →
Yay! I did it. I FINALLY did it. I started a Yoga for Seniors class in February; this week was my sixth class. Since the first lesson, the Yoga teacher has been trying to persuade me to get down on the floor. I baulked at the idea and repeatedly told her, "I've only been down... Continue Reading →

Let's talk about food or not. If we were having coffee, I'd tell you my weight loss has stagnated over the last few weeks, and I feel rather ticked off! My goal on the 10th of July was to lose 15kg by my landmark birthday (30th December). No problem, I thought. Wrong! I've only lost... Continue Reading →
How time flies! It only feels like yesterday we were having coffee last weekend. This time last Sunday, we were at the local bar watching England lose to Spain in the European Football Championship.
