Hello Blendfriends, I hope you are having a good start to your week! After finishing Barre Basics (a sort of deload after Shift), today will I'll try the first day of Core and Strength with Brian. My shoulder's been a bit sensitive lately, so I don't know if proper strength training will suit me right now, but I'll go light and see.

Other than that, I'll be having a pretty intense work day, need to see if multiple bug fixes hold up on a system here, and in the meantime other work is piling up. Which brings me a thought from Proust : “There are mountainous, arduous days, up which one takes an infinite time to climb, and downward-sloping days which one can descend at full tilt, singing as one goes.” The good news is that I adore hiking in mountains, so either will be fine! (Sharing a pretty stock photo above to set the mood 😊)

After no desire to cook last week I'm full of projects this week. Nothing especially new, but we'll stay nourished. Yesterday I made a batch of zucchini meatballs which (will mostly go to the freezer for future delight). Tonight I'll make stuffed peppers, and tomorrow probably spaghetti squash with cottage cheese and pesto. Hearty fare for cold weather! (It's -14C out there, glad I'm in here).

Wishing you all the best possible day.
