i used to love it, but i don’t know what happened. Now it’s so bland i can’t stand it. It actually depletes the flavor from food, including horseradish.
I just gotta stop using it
Yesterday was International Yoga Day, i did 108 Sun Salutations last night at One Heart. I’m sore today.
Today at work is annual safety training. Also payday. Because of safety training, i can’t go out and to my banking, effectively goofing off half a day. Well played bosses! HA HA!
Have a wonderful day!
Here comes Bret. Supposed to fizzle out before getting here (iffee gets here at all) but I’m getting ready, pruning trees. I majorly trimmed the Otaheite Apple tree yesterday, i don’t want it to come down. Below is an after and before shot. And I put the tripod on.
I would have trimmed her thinner, but she’s full of fruit. I tried to not cut any branches with fruit, but accidentally cut one with 3 pale white Otaheite apples on it. I put them near the trunk as fertilizer.
But listen, i didn’t schedule any time this season for hurricanes., So let’s just skip it this year and move on. Ok? OK!
AND: FYI, the summer solstice is at 10:57 AM our time. The sun reaches its northernmost point, over the tropic of Cancer for a brief second. After that moment, the sun starts heading back south to the tropic of Capricorn.
Have a wonderful day!
I’ve got plenty of coconuts! This tree is generating an impossible amount!
Happy Tuesday, i went to a beach barbeque last night and it was very enjoyable.
Back to work today, ending a very very very nice weekend!
today is the bank holiday for the Kings birthday. Happy Birthday!
I’m off today.
It was qgood weekend. Friday i played pickleball, it was an informed, fun tournament. We (my pickleball partner Eden and I) played against some very good players.
Saturday was the mile sea swim. Below are my only pictures Random of the starting area and me and a swimmer named Harper who came in first female overall. I didn’t know i was chatting with the champion before the race!
Yesterday, i loaded up and headed out to go diving, but i mis read the calendar and the dive I was looking for was last week So I had a big breakfast and came home and took a nap. It was a good idea!.
Now it’s a Monday morning, I’m working on my first cuppa coffee and the sky is the limit for today.
Have a good one!
Above are pictures from this mornings dawg walk. Testing out the zoom in the phone (Galaxy S21) camera. See the fisherman? Not too shabby!
Happy Friday!
It’s almost Friday, I signed up for Pickleball tomorrow night. Saturday is the mile swim. I hope i don’t injure myself playing pickleball and impede my ability to swim.
Hopefully Sunday I can get some of my projects around the house worked on..
This sounds like a Friday post, but it’s Thursday. At the top is yestdays sunrise.
Have a great day!
I’m getting my first papaya on one of the trees i planted! It’s not even the biggest tree! I like papaya, if they’re sweet, sometimes they’re kinda bland. Papaya makes good smoothies too and once the tree starts producing, they more or less continue producing.
I’m excited!
I can see it coming. Me quitting Duolingo. Not yet, but i can see it.
The questions are becoming ridiculous. Words we haven’t covered, obscure words and sentence structure. Sometimes they’ll ask, “type what you hear” and there will be a whole paragraph of slurred words. If you make a typo, the question is wrong. I’m sometimes getting the same question wrong several times in a row now.
I’m not quitting yet, but i can see it coming.I’m not giving them money, therefore they don’t want me any more. They should be getting more money from their advertisers than they’d ever get from me, the ads are frequent and long.
Happy Tuesday!!
This weekend I took the above course at One Heart. It was very informative. It made me aware of how much more there is that I don’t know. The class was an introduction to The Eight Limbs Of Yoga.
I started yoga classes at the adamant insistence of my counselor, who I started seeing because of my divorce, (as I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about by now).I was instantly hooked from my first class. It cleared the wreckage in my mind and gave me peace. It led to the meditation I’ve always sought and given me a path to follow.
After the YST class, i don’t even know why we call yoga (as i always thought of it) yoga. Why don’t we just call it Asana? That’s all we do, I think that’s all most people are aware of.
My objective has always been to do the poses properly, give me precise instructions, give me a checklist. Tell me what to adjust to improve.
Now I am supposed to listen to my body, and accept the instructions i receive. Something like that.
I’ve learned in the past couple years that my “parts” seem to be more “disconnected” what is considered normal, and now i must (continue) working to unify them, now with a whole new set of instructions (guidelines? examples? ideals?) added.
It’s very exciting and somewhat overwhelming. I will rely on the guidance i have been receiving to guide me further.
I mowed the yard Friday afternoon and now, Monday morning, it could stand to be mowed again…
Happy Monday, have a good week!
I loved this book! This book is beautifully written, the story kept me reading nonstop. I cannot describe what it is about the language that grabbed me. Poetic but not poetry?
I enjoyed cross referencing the names of the characters. I learned a lot about Greek mythology.
I loved Madeline Millers writing style. The pleasure of reading and the beauty of her writing style is beyond my ability to describe. I will read more of her books. She is possibly the most skilled writer of any books I’ve ever read.
I slept good last night, perhaps because i didn’t get harassed half hour before the alarm?
Happy FRIDAY!!!
