OK, it’s only 2 kms more than what I have been doing every Saturday since the beginning of September, but it was amazing….because… I walked these 12 kms on a Thursday morning. I usually walk 10 kms every Saturday, but I decided to up the ante and do an extra walk mid-week – partly because […]
Yes, I do like to eat and I have three meals a day – organized eating. Since I rarely go out in the evening, I meet friends for lunch. Wednesday I met a friend at a Chinese restaurant for a lovely set menu of rice, a spring roll and stir-fried chicken with vegetables. My friend
I know – a contradiction in terms. However, it does rule out the dreaded “C.” I have a family history of colon Cancer and I had symptoms. It took five years to finally reach the point of an internal investigation. I prepared for the worst. I was spared!! I will now celebrate! 1. Well, on
I’ve spent most of this week reading. OK, I had errands to run, shopping to do, and orders to fill at work. Yes, there were also the people who came to power wash the stonework, paint the front door and the inside banister. Plus, there was the complication of taking off all the old (antique)
Most of this week the weather has been hot and humid, a little unusual for September, but it does happen. I haven’t had to put on the Air Conditioning (A/C) for most of the Summer. What a Joy and a saving of energy, money and the environment!! However, this week was too hot and too
Another glorious week of Summer….gorgeous weather…..lots of activity…and…lots of connections. 1. Sunday I was invited to a friend’s house for lunch. It’s always a delightful visit. Her home is in Pickering, a stone’s throw from the lake. While we chat and prepare lunch, her husband plays classical music on his amazing grand piano. I also
Saturday morning I managed another walk to the Brickworks Market – round trip 10kms. I took a 6lb backpack and wore my new walking (running) shoes. These were the Under Armour ones I got from Sporting Life for $40.00 – on sale. They were perfect – no blisters. I upped the ante for the walk
This week was a lovely week of summer weather. Most days were around 25ºC with sunshine. I harvested tomatoes from the garden and cooked some interesting meals using up tomatoes that were ripening too quickly. This is my idea of summer – lots of warm weather, lots of sunshine, lots of colour in the flower
Today, I walked 7.2kms in an hour and a half!! It’s my best yet. And….and…I’m not tired!! I also had a 6lb pack on my back. OK, I was walking on pavement and the terrain was mostly flat. However, I had walked this same path three weeks ago and I had to take a break
Yes this week, I had another birthday!! It was an odd-numbered one, so not pivotal. However, it ended up being a marathon day of “birthday greetings.” My sister called at 10:00am, my friend for almost 70 years called at 11:00am. By then it was time for lunch. I haven’t eaten lunch in my pajamas in
