Greetings all,
Trust you are enjoying summer and perhaps starting to see the fruits of your labors in the gardens.
As I write this Mid-July, I am, like many, cursing the damn mosquitoes that are trying their hardest to carry us away/bite us till we look like we got measles!. I seem to be a target for the pesky things and have no love of this time of the year. May they be gone ASAP!
We are currently in a holding pattern regarding traveling to see the kids in Norway. As soon as we get the go-ahead, we plan to make a speedy exit before governments change their minds, and dash over for a 2-week family immersion!… if all goes to plan it looks like we will be gone sometime in early September…so watch this space!
Meanwhile, I quilt and yoga on with a dash or two of powerlifting thrown in and have recently had a breakthrough with my bench press, and have now got PB’s in both bench and overhead press!! The squat is under reconstruction as I have been dealing with a shoulder problem and the deadlift and I are having serious chats as I slowly ramp up for the “winter” “Senior” Olympics scheduled for November.
So, I trust you are all keeping moving, and hydrating, and eating well from all the fresh garden bounty. (I have included a couple of quickie recipes this month, oldies but goodies with a nice twist for a fast meal in all the heat).
STAY WELL AND GET YOUR SPINE CHECKED REGULARLY!
