Some things to be grateful for today:
- our mini tomato plantation, above, growing well!
- over an hour this morning of conscious movement - cardio, strength and yoga.
- Home made scones - delicious, and cheap as chips!
- Good friends, lots of laughs, and some planning for future fun!
A very different day here to yesterday - even though the threatened thunderstorm never arrived, the temperature dropped sharply overnight and today was far more cloudy with quite frequent heavy cloudbursts. MrEH had rugby fitness training this morning and got drenched walking there. I meanwhile decided to stay here rather than going for a walk and do some exercise inside. The interval timer on the FitBit is great for this - 14 x 30-second bursts with 10 seconds rest between each gives a pretty good HIIT workout for cardio, or a decent short strength session - body weight exercises or those using resistance bands or the 10kg dumb-bell we have. Trying to keep up some weights work at the moment will, I’m pretty sure, benefit me when it’s time to return to the gym. This morning saw 2 cardio sessions and 2 strength, followed by half an hour of yoga for a good stretch.
The plants are all thoroughly appreciative of the rain - beans, broad and runner, have shot up in the last few days - the runners are now starting to try to grab onto the structure they will climb up. The kale is growing well, and the tomatoes - well, you can see above quite how happy THEY are looking! This has been the first time for several years we’ve managed to grown anything much aside from gooseberries and redcurrants, and some potatoes last year, and it feels good to have some of our own food on the way!
