It is definite this week, summer has come. It is absolutely delightful with lots of sun and blue skies. Being pessimistic, I’m not sure how long it will last sadly, but it really is incredible. It’s got everyone talking. I haven’t heard of anyone going for a swim yet, but considering people swim on New Year’s Day, you never know.
I have just been reminded, I bought a bottle of green tea which I left in the fridge and forgot to drink until I was sick recently and then I really enjoyed it. So, having finished it, I replaced it and guess what, I’ve forgotten it again. I really must drink some because I enjoyed it before.
Did my exercises this afternoon, legs were a tad tired at the end,
guess they also got a bit unused and weak lately. Hopefully I will soon be back 100%. I was sorry to hear that one of the women was rushed into hospital last night, I do hope she will be OK, she is such a live wire and one of the nicest people in the class. Trouble is we are all such a bunch of old fogies that these things are likely to happen to us at any time. One woman was telling us that she had shown her son one of the balance exercises we do and he couldn’t do it. We ain’t dead yet!!
This recipe was so visually appealing to me that I couldn’t resist sharing it. I found it on the new Food.com
