Hello, sunny and pleasant today. More rain and perhaps storms expected tomorrow.

I attended online church services this morning, cleaned up some paperwork, responded to a friend’s email. She always has interesting things to share. In addition to the Silver Sneakers schedule, I have access to Burnalong, a mix of live and recorded classes. One of the instructors I like quite well on Silver Sneakers Live classes (only Zumba Gold 3 times a week) has a number of classes on this additional platform. I got signed up and have done one of her classes both yesterday and today. Whoooo, sweaty!

Jackie, congratulations on getting the runner beans planted and flower seeds as well. I still am not sure I want to plant anything this year.

Sandy, did you get a second wind? Sometimes I do have a first wind. 😂

Hi Barbie, Diane, Anne, Jeri, Joy and the rest of our Sneaker members.

Hello. Lunchtime already! I made a fairly quick trip to Walmart and Trader Joe’s first thing this morning. Stock was low but I got a few things. Home quickly enough to put groceries away before my first class. Just finished the second one and I need to start crushing boxes and tossing things in the trash in anticipation of tomorrow’s trash day. My neighbor put out several bags of clippings (in the approved bags) last week and they were never picked up. I notice this week she has 6 or 7 bags out there. Wow. She and her guy pal must have worked hard this past weekend.

Sandy, it is difficult to keep up with people’s plans and ambitions. Young folks seem to be very flexible when planning their future. I was quite a drifter and it didn’t end up that well. I hope things go well for her. Enjoy your week! ❤️ And sometimes I feel much better when getting a lot of exercise, other days, I feel absolutely drained. I have no idea what the difference may be. I tried to cut down to one cup of coffee and wow, that has not worked, back to my usual two cups I think…..

Silver Sneakers ditched all of their Zumba classes over the weekend. Must have been a quick decision, they had just published their daily calendar for May and Zumba was still on it and poof, no matter what the schedule says, we now have cardio dance. I had the first of those classes this morning, the teacher is still good, lots of the moves are the same, lots of sweat and an addition—-hand weights. There was an uproar from the students but hey, the instructor couldn’t do anything about it. She was quite upset by all the comments, she will be evaluating whether she still wants to teach the revised class. She has a studio and live students as well as Zoom participants.

Jackie, hope all is well with you. I am the only one who hasn’t tried to contact Anne. I didn’t want to bother her as she settled in but I am concerned about her. Hope she picks up her card soon.

Be safe everyone.

Sorry I didn’t check in yesterday. After walking the dogs I drove to Linda’s neighbour to collect the chopped wood he had offered for my log burner. Most was stored in a plastic coal bunker so it was a case of hanging head first from the top and handing it out for Linda to place in canvas garden bags I had taken with me. By the time we finished the back of my car was full with 6 extra full rubble bags and my two largest bags were in Linda’s vehicle. We drove back to my cottage, unloaded the bags and carried along the footpath to my garden. Linda went home while I stacked the wood into my log store! Phew, just one large bag left to empty but I was beginning to wilt so will deal with it later today. No surprises, I fell asleep in front of the tv in the evening! Remarkably, I have few aches this morning but won’t overdo things.

Storms around the word at the moment. I watched a YouTube video of flooding in Texas at the weekend and last night saw how areas of Brazil are under water. Mother Nature saying I told you not to cut down the Rain Forests!

Sandy, I guess with so much hacking and scams that go on these days it is understandable no one wants their personal details to be easily accessed. I know Anne would respond if she read our messages so fingers crossed it’s only because she hasn’t checked recently. If the home don’t even answer the phone it’s just as well she left when she did but I wish she had never gone in the first place, although understand why, at the time, she made the decision.

Lin, the bluebell plants Linda has given me are in a border I’m gradually turning over to English natural plants and the London Pride will be placed in a rockery at the end of my garden once it has been weeded! Congratulations on your new faucet. Break out the champagne!🍾

I must walk George and Betty round the block. Happy Wednesday everyone.

I have a list on my fridge of people to contact in case of emergency. One name on the list is Sandy since I have her email address so if anything happened to me, Sandy would be contacted.

When Sasha, the red poodle died almost two years ago, I grieved her terribly. I missed having a dog to walk with me and a dog to snuggle next to me in bed all night. Be careful what you wish for. Annie snuggles so close that am only inches from the edge of the bed. She likes to walk with me but not exactly where I want go so we have a lot of starting and stopping and standing around "deciding" where to go. It is a work in progress.
