The day sparkled. The sky was a picture in blue. The sun was as warm as you'd want it to be.

Milo's Chair

 

Just lately when I come back to my office chair, Milo is on it. It seems that I am now in competition for my office chair with him. And I am pretty sure the reason why is that Milo has realised it is one of the few places where the bulldogs can't get to him. The bulldogs bully him terribly, and now it is often the two of them teaming up, but bulldog legs aren't that long so they can't, actually, get Milo on my office chair, and he can hide in plain sight of them. But it means I am continually showing him off it.

 

Isn't he cute. Actually, he is the most delightful little guy, he really is lovely. He is so cute, and so funny, and he just loves to be with you.

So Relaxing

It is so relaxing to lie out on the floor flat on your back. Your shoulders, your back, your calves, your mind, they all release.

When was the last time you lay out flat on the floor? A carpet angel. I bet it has been a while.

Try it. It is great.

Flat out is super relaxing. Almost instantly. There is just something nice about it.

Every part of you feels supported, kind of rare in modern life, perhaps.

The strong, hard floor, is somehow comforting, I have to say. (Like a tall, dark stranger)

It's solid, strength, permanence, powerful.

Parallel to the earth’s surface, feels like it does us some good. On the horizontal plane, it is a powerful therapy.

Workout App

My personal trainer is over and I am now on my own with the gym. Even my workout app has stopped. I don't know why, I thought that, without really thinking about it at all, would continue, but no. I'm going to have to get a new work out app.

I've asked Sam if he could find me one, but he was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about the idea. Seriously, I thought. Isn't that why you have an IT guy as a boyfriend to find you stuff like that? Surely that is true? A life truism? But he just looked at me and didn't engage at all. Twice. I asked him twice. But no. Blank.

At present, I am cycling back to previous weeks for my workout sessions. Not really idea.

Anyway, I guess I am perfectly capable of getting my own workout app? Hmmmmm? (Another truism, to be sure) Where to start?

Anyone know a good workout app?

Thursday

I didn't go to the gym, I should have. Isn't that what they always say?

I'll go tomorrow. Isn't that what they also always say? I still don't love it. 

I took the dogs for two walks though, that's two hours of walking.

It was a beautiful day. 

I stayed inside for most of it. I lay on the couch for most of the day. What a lazy arse. I know I am. Lying on the couch should be a national pastime, oh, yes, I guess it is. Good thing I am down to 80 kilos now, so I can claim lying on the couch does me no harm. Do you like that?

Morning Rain

I was up early. It rained. Morning rain is quite lovely. It reminds you of everything good in the world, and that loveliness exists.

The only thing I would have liked to do, but didn't, was to head out side and raise my face skywards to feel the drops fall on my face.

That is the closest thing to magical that I know.
