In an ongoing, but recently cranked up, effort to make having a fit mind, body & especially spirit part of my daily routine every early morning I have a bit of a power walk (with my camera Canon G12 in tow of course). After I've had my stroll with Miss D and before I have my breakfast. It's the secret to successful exercise - do it as early in the day as possible. At low tide, a good 8 months of the year (maybe less) I'm able to walk laps up & down the crescent beach, listening to gentle waves and seagulls - my absolute favourite I usually walk for 40 mins to an hour.
Girlfriend's of mine, Deb & Carol, have been going to free fitness classes offered here in the village each Wed & Fri mornings, Zumba (yes I did say Zumba) highly choreographed* aerobics to music and Pilates (also to music) to great music! In an effort to leave my
* me and choreographed anything is hilarious but it's OK also to flail & jump & dance which is mostly what I do at Zumba ;-)
I really love the colours of the Cosmos bright lights, I have been looking for seedlings without success but I haven't given up. Beautiful photos of your sunflowers, the harbour, your house and garden and the poplars. The flowers you bought from the farmers market were beautiful, I looked in the florist today, they had a small bouquet of daisies, bright zinnias and gerbera daisies, they reminded me of you. Sadly they were $45.00AU, I would have loved to buy them but at that price they are a luxury I cannot afford. I really like Leslie Feist, I have a copy of a video called 'One Evening' which is really good. Your power walking, Zumba and Pilates all sound wonderful, I have seen the ads for Zumba here, it is quite a workout but looks like fun.
