Hello all you blenderbuddies! Feeling chuffed to be doing the ghosting this weekend!!! What about you? How are you feeling: happy, sad, energetic, lethargic, raring-to-go, relaxed or any other adjective that describes your mood or your day? My day is a bit cold, grey and windy, but wind means: bodyboarding is probably on the cards! We walked to the cliff top this morning, but the waves werenāt big enough yet to have fun, but a bit later on this afternoon they should be pretty good. YAY! Talking about cards: it is birthday card time for Kelli.... happy birthday Kelli. I hope you have a lovely day! Sorry, it feels like I am zigzagging a bit instead of sticking to a nice flowing check-in line. So letās get this organised a bit better:
Workouts: whatās on the cards (š) or should I say ācalendarā for you? Hitting, cardioing, lifting, yogaing, pilatesing or resting? (My spelling corrector doesnāt like some of those words š¤š¤). My day started off with Gardenblender. Some of the exercising four of us were doing round our garden were: T-stabilizations, walkdowns with up down plank, walking lunges, sumo squats plus kicks, toetaps, lateral and ventral raises etc etc. As we were chatting away as well as working hard, we decided: fun is the most important thing. If fitness isnāt fun, you stop doing it! For one of our neighbours it was only her second time this was quite an eye-opener?!?! What do you think? Should fitness be fun? Or just hard work? Anyway, what with me doing bodyboarding later on my Abs2 day 4 will be rescheduled! (Sorry Esther... we were supposed to be doing it togetherš)!
Food: as you may have noticed that is always a very short paragraph for me. I am not the worldās most enthusiastic cook, quite the opposite... the worldās most reluctant cook. Hubby is cooking today, so no agony for me trying to avoid the pitfalls of forever doing the same thing. Although, hey wow, I have been experimenting with some new recipes lately! I even cooked two days in a row, unheard of for me. Problem with me is: I decide on a recipe, start cooking and then find I havenāt t got one or more essential ingredients. So I improvise and that leads to very varying results. What sort of cook are you? An āoops, havenāt got that ingredient, improviseā one or a āstick-to-the-recipeā one? Letās hear it from you!
Photo: trying to do a Raven here and given you some botanical bits... this photo, which I posted on one of Ravenās check-ins, shows a puya chilensis spike. This particular variety blooms only every four to five years. The last time it was in bloom in our Tropical Gardens was five years ago. At nearly 3 meters high it towers high above me, so shorty me hasnāt been able to smell it close-up. But bees love it, they are always buzzing around it. The flowers are huge and a greeny yellow.
Thatās it for me on here today: off to my next āworkoutā: worming my way into my wetsuit, I thoroughly dislike it, but wind is such that I am not going in only a swim cozzy! Then off to the beach. Looking forward to reading all about your adventures or perhaps non-adventures, basically: about your day!
