So here we are again, sort of.
In March we were locked down and everything stopped. This time we are locked down again but only some things have stopped. I am still working full time, full pelt. David hasn’t stopped working all year.
I thought I would attempt daily blogging during lockdown v2, primarily to hold myself accountable.
I had already decided when it was just rumours that if we went into lockdown I was going to hula hoop every day. I am already going on the exercise bike every day; I started at 10 mins, now I am up to 15 mins, and this weekend I am going to go up to 20 mins a day.
So this morning I was up with the earliest of the birdies – I have been waking up at around 6:30am lately, so I got up around 7. David has had a day off work so he stayed in bed. I didn’t want to start work at 8:30 so I decided to do my days hula hooping instead. I did 10 minutes, and I am SO UNFIT. It really hurt my lungs! I thought the cycling would’ve helped but apparently not.
I haven’t done much today – been at work innit. We will soon be tucking into the remains of yesterdays pasta bake, and then I shall probably do some more crochet on my Sophies Universe blanket. I am just finishing the butterfly band part and I’m not sure that I like it. I think I wasn’t sure if I liked before I even made the blanket. So I’m not sure. I might frog it all and just do my own thing. I dunno. I also might just leave it because the thought of ripping out four hours work, to then redo four hours work, doesn’t fill me with much joy. Hmm.
I am also (on Twitter) doing an #OutsideEveryday challenge and it’s actually proving quite hard. I go into the garden. I go to the allotment. I go to my work site in Selly Oak. I repeat. I am too anxious to take myself off for a walk in the local area and the nature reserve.
My hollyhock seeds are starting to sprout, so that's nice.
Tonight we are due a massive firework display care of Dudley Council. Apparently every resident should be able to see it from their houses. We shall see.
Today I have done 10 mins hula hooping, 15 mins on the bike, walked 1.6 miles apparently, and done my weights. I use tins of beans for weights, nowt fancy.
