    DH typing out the three new clues for the final, garden, part of the Egg Hunt. What a star! <3
    Mostly ready for tomorrow. Cheat's aioli to make, and puffy pittas and Icelandic preserved lamb, to get out of the freezer. I hope the kids will eat some of it.
    Hmm. Should I get out the gluten free frankfurters?

    Hope I sleep tonight. Legs aching.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I’m reading a book that I am enjoying very much, Virgin River, by Robyn Carr. I’m not quite half way along.
    <3 I have read this book a couple of years ago and am enjoying it again. The sequel will also be a good read.

    Happy Easter Sunday—

    Machka thanks for the feedback on tinnitus. I have a friend that has a lot of trouble with it and he also gets vertigo along with it at times. I think along with my using ear plugs I think I started getting bouts of both tinnitus and vertigo when we crossed the mountain on our trips to and from San Diego. I still notice it a little now after we went over the mountains to get here. I think from my ear drums popping from the pressure.

    If someone is experiencing it every day, I recommend going to an audiologist for a full hearing and balance test.

    ACTIVE APRIL
    1. Commit to being more active this month starting today. Yes!
    2. Spend as much time as possible outdoors today. Yes!
    3. Listen to your body and be grateful for what it can do. Yes! I can garden, which requires all sorts of body motion, and cycle.
    4. Eat healthy and natural food today and drinks lots of water. Yes! Ate my usual food and drank lots of water up till about 8 pm. We won't talk about what happened after that.

    5. Turn a regular activity into a playful game today. Hmmm ... Walking around the shops? Climbing stairs?

    6. Do a body-scan meditation and really notice how your body feels. Achy.

    7. Get natural light early in the day. Dim the lights in the evening.

    There isn't much light early in the day here. Plus I was sleeping then. Plus it was cloudy, drizzly and rainy all day.

    But I do dim the lights in the evening. It's one of many steps I take to wind down in the evenings to prepare myself for the night.

    8. give your body a boost by laughing or making someone laugh

    I rarely laugh. Most things don't strike me funny.
    Lots of things amuse me, but not enough for laughter.

    9. Turn your housework or chores into a fun form of exercise

    I often do, but as today's work involved sitting at 2 computers, I walked on the treadmill during a break instead.

    11. Have a day with less screen time and more movement
    12. Set yourself an exercise goal or sign up to an activity challenge
    17. Move as much as possible, even if you’re stuck inside
    18. Make sleep a priority and go to bed in good time
    19. Relax your body & mind with yoga, tai chi or meditation.
    20. Get active by singing today (even if you think you can’t sing)
    21. Go exploring around your local area and notice new things
    22. Be active outside. Dig up weeds or plant some seeds
    23. Try a new online exercise, activity or dance class.
    24. Spend less time sitting today. Get up and move more often.
    25. Focus on eating ‘a rainbow of multi-colored vegetables today.
    26. Regularly pause to stretch and breathe during the day.
    27. Enjoy moving to your favorite music. Really go for it.
    28. Go out and do an errand for a loved one or neighbor.
    29. Get active in nature. Feed the birds or go wild-life spotting.
    30. Have a ‘no screens’ night and take time to recharge yourself.
    31. Take an extra break in your day and walk outside for 15 minutes
    32. Find a fun exercise to do while waiting for the kettle to boil (or pan of water.)
    33. Meet a friend outside for a walk and a chat.
    34. Become an activist for a cause you really believe in
    35. Make time to run, swim, dance, cycle or stretch today

    Sunday --

    Spent the day listening to hymns and organising files on two of my computers.

    I did take a break to walk 5.75 km in an hour on the treadmill.

    It's been a cold, drizzly, windy day with snow on the mountain.


    I have the heat blasting away at 18C (64F) and I'm actually wearing a lightweight dressing gown over my sleeveless tank top.

    (((hugs))) to those who need them.

    Yesterday was simply stunning! Had the windows open for a bit. So nice to finally experience spring. It took its own sweet time getting here.

    9. Turn your housework or chores into a fun form of exercise... NOT TODAY! Happy Easter!!!
