Ok so I missed last weekend’s exercise and thankful posts so here they are.

Exercise

The aim was:

• Three days of yoga
• 10,000 steps a day
• 1 set of the following each day, 20 squats, 20 sit ups and 20 press ups.

I didn’t manage the steps but did everything else and I’m going to do the same thing this week.

Thankful – Week Three

The bounty of the allotment. It’s not just the produce, it’s the exercise, the conversations I have when I’m on the plot. It makes my world bigger, I have outdoor space and as I go into winter, the plot gives me a focus beyond that. The rest of winter is great, I know but even as my brain shuts down a bit, part of me is planning for next season. Gardening is a profoundly optimistic hobby and my brain really needs that.

My Kitchen Aid was the best birthday present ever, I love it and I use it…

Last week, marked six years since I was made redundant. I wasn’t happy or sure what was going to happen, but with the hindsight of 6 years, it was the best thing ever. I tempted for a while and then in May 2018, started at Quilter. I don’t do the job that I was initially employed to do but it is a measure of the company that they saw what I could do and kept me on. That has continued and I enjoy my work so much more that I ever thought that I would enjoy work. Turns out, it wasn’t me, it was them and I’m so thankful for all the changes that it brought and for the company I find myself working at.
