Lots of activity

I certainly got my steps in today.

This morning started with a walk with Hobson and TB. We wandered as far as Pete's house and they had a splendid time trying to catch squirrels.  They have no chance, and all this really means is that they just tend to leap excitedly in to water-filled ditches, and stare up in to the branches of the trees.  Both dogs got absolutely filthy, and needed their feet washing before they were allowed back in the house.

The weather was, again, cooperative and the lawns had dried by the afternoon. The mower was wheeled from the shed and I spent forty minute mowing around the greenhouses and the vegetable patch. That is the lawns at the back of the house completed, just the ones at the front to do.

Unfortunately that was not going to happen today as my blood sugar plummeted. A slice of carrot cake and a long snooze on the sofa were required to restore me to health.

It's Wednesday, so this evening included an hour at the Parish Education Centre for this week's Tai Chi class. There were fewer attendees than normal, and the class included the usual warm up, the spring exercises, followed by the Shibashi 5 set. Unfortunately this term, Kung Po Fran is set on concluding each session with a guided meditation. 

For some reason I seem to have problems with these and simply could not manage to visualise myself wandering up a mountain path towards snowy summit.

I think I'd rather have completed another Shibashi set.
