Day 41 - Lots of fitness!

I did three separate exercise sessions today! I went out for my usual running session by the river in the morning, followed by the usual hike back up Strawberry Hill afterwards. Then, in the afternoon, I did an online boxing fitness class, organised by Fiona’s work. I did this one outside in the sun and it was great to be able to do it in the fresh air. Peter was also outside at the time, though, and giving me some very strange looks! Finally, in the evening, I went for a walk and chatted to Fiona on the phone while she went for her run. I have to say, this was my least enjoyable walk so far. There were way too many people out and about and I just found it all a bit stressful. At one point, people were standing on opposite sides of the road talking, so I walked down the middle of the road, while another walker came down the middle of the road towards me and a jogger came close to me from behind! I did get to see lots of nice things new the windows of houses on Blarney Street again though, including some balloon animals in a box that said “please take home!” I would have taken one if there was no risk of catching covid-19 from it!

For lunch today I made a halloumi salad and I sat outside in the sun for a while afterwards chatting to Mum on the phone. I put some seeds in the post to Mum today too. I can’t wait until garden shops are open again. My favourite one, Griffins, is operating an honesty box sale from their gate, but unfortunately, at about 20km distance from my house, they’re much too far past my 2km radius.

In the evening, Peter had a Zoom call with his family. I could hear him saying “Lisa’s doing fitness classes every day here!” He probably thinks I’ve gone mad! I would have chatted on the Zoom call too but I’m feeling a bit “Zoomed out,” so instead I watched a trashy television programme on my own called “Too Hot to Handle!” Sometimes, even in a lockdown, we all need a break!Leer más
