Wall-to-Wall Yoga

Yesterday was a full day for me one way and another, but not arduous at all – and another day of recuperation for John.

John was still feeling under the weather, so I left him in bed in the morning and took myself to Berkswell Church to hear the Banns being read for Lucy and Tom. Pete and Dawn weren’t able to go to hear their daughter’s Banns read in person unfortunately, being trapped at home with COVID in the house, but the rest of the family were all there – and no-one in the congregation shouted out that they knew of a just cause to prevent the marriage, so that was good news.

Although it was quite a long service, it was very good and I enjoyed it. We were all in one area and masks were worn so it felt safe. Whether it actually was safe is another matter of course, so we’ll see.

Afterwards I nipped over to our friends, Linda and Brendan’s, to offer condolences on the death of Linda’s Mum. Despite the sadness, they were both relatively cheerful but looked exhausted from all the to-ing and fro-ing they are having to do. Hope it gets better for them soon.

At home, John had recently got up and was watching TV. Having checked he was OK, I popped up to Oakes’ Farm Shop to get the Sunday Roast. We planned to have lunch about two o’clock because I was off out to Yoga at 6p.m. and I didn’t want to be bending and stretching on a heavy meal. Happily, it all went to plan.

The Yin Yoga practice was a two and half hour session, so I arrived back home just before nine o’clock. Then I remembered I had the sheets on the bed to change, so the blog had to wait. I had been looking forward to going to bed but……… mind you, so was John and he had to wait for sheets to be put on – tee-hee.

And today? A bit more yoga this afternoon which was lovely. It came at the end of a day when I’d been busy again. This time, sorting out the odd sock pile before going for a walk with my friend, Moira, from church. We had a good old stride out and, from Moira’s house we did a circuit of 5.6kms, which I thought was good going. But then Moira reminded me that I’d walked from my house to her house, which is about a mile, and then, as we went our separate ways, I had another half a mile to go……all in all, I thought I gave John a run for his money and probably did about 8 kms in the end! Go me!!

This morning the solar panel man came to measure up so I had to put away my sock pile and concentrate on what he was suggesting. Fortunately, John was well enough to join in and make decisions about where wires might go and so on. Fingers crossed we get the panels fitted by the end of May. Knowing our luck, I expect we’ll get them fitted after all the sun has been and gone…….

John is feeling a bit better every day now, although not fully recovered from this nasty cold, but I think he’ll be back to walking again by the end of the week. Fingers crossed anyway. Suffice to say, he’s a bit fed up about feeling poorly again. Healing vibes people, please?

Take care everyone. God bless.
