Saturday šŸ‘»ANG checkin 13 December 2025

Hello lovely blenderbuddies, my turn to šŸ‘» again. I hope we will have a lovely weekend together. You know I sometimes try to have a theme for my šŸ‘»posts, well, this weekend it’s Holey trees! Not holly trees, not holy trees, no HOLEY trees. Sorry, Kavya, not more trees this weekend, just holes in them šŸ„“šŸ™ƒHiking in the New Forest on Wednesday gave me this idea. Wow, so many of Mother Nature’s beauties around, I could ghost for weeks with a new beauty every day. šŸ¤”šŸ¤£ But HOLEY trees: there weren’t quite as many, but hopefully you find them as beautiful as I did. Here’s the first one of the weekend… tell me what you think? Any holey things you have come across, beautiful or annoying ?!?! Do you see holey trees on your walks? Or you don’t notice trees that much? With me being the ā€œcrazy treeā€ lady, you know I can’t walk past a crazy/beautiful/amazing/dead/gnarled tree. I love the word ā€œgnarledā€, it really conveys the image of the kind of tree I like. Sorry, rambling🤭. Business now.

Workouts: I’m a bit late doing this checkin as I have already changed the bedlinen and got my wash on. But workoutwise for me it’s pickleball later this afternoon. If the sun shows itself and the sea is not too rough, a seaswim might happen. What’s on your calendar? I know Coby is resting and so is Ocean, probably more as a necessity than wanting to rest. Inge, I have lost track, you seem to have been working out on days I thought you were resting?! Cabob, running? Karen, grandkid chasing? Kavya, another beautiful walk with your mum? Anne and Shelley: day something or other in your programmes?

Food is our next topic: short and sweet answer for me ā“. Hubs is cooking, so no thinking about it required on my part, yay! But let me hear your thoughts on today’s food choices. Coby, good luck with your days of fasting. You can do it šŸ’Ŗ!!

That’s it for now, I am going to do my daily mental exercises (killer sudoku, kakuro etc)…. I’m looking forward to all your day’s ā€œadventuresā€, FB or not FB!!!!

Photo: beautiful right?! In replies the tree from a few feet away. As you can see, it’s not a dead tree. It’s actually still alive and growing. Amazing really! BTW pics of Christmas trees welcome!
