Where has this week gone? Feel like I’ve blinked and it’s almost the weekend. We started Wednesday off with a ‘basic’ HITT YouTube video, we can confirm a month into lock down that basic is still not easy. It was very repetitive, 5 exercises repeated 4 times with no motivational mentor on screen that we’re used to. We did ask…
Monday was spent mostly doing a lot of top secret birthday planning so I thought it best to combine into a birthday special and a special birthday it was. We decided what better theme for Amy than a Disney birthday, can’t get to Disney so we brought it to us (sort of). I’d spent the last couple of days making…
Made it to Sunday and potentially our last day of sunshine for a wee while. I chickened out of exercise yesterday and instead opted for a lie-in, can you blame me really?? Mum and Amy powered through with an abs and arms workout – potentially to make me feel guilty for staying in bed. I did get my exercise from…
Our sunny Saturday started off with a walk to the garden centre in search of eggs. We said hello to Alan and Pete (The alpacas) as we left the farm, they always keep their distance (abiding by government guidelines of course). We also said hello to two cyclists who suddenly came up behind us and made us jump, the man…
Jack declared yesterday as the beginning of a three day weekend. ‘How is that different to any other day?’ I asked. ‘You can start drinking at 12 on the weekend.’ he replied. We started our crazy weekend with some not so crazy yoga, following an ‘energising’ yoga video from ‘Yoga with Adrienne’. I enjoyed the appearance of her dog who…
Another two day installment, aren’t you lucky. The search for flour is a treacherous and time-consuming one, mum and Amy have scoured the internet for flour that doesn’t cost more than a small house. They managed to find some from a company called ‘Flower and White’ and it arrived on Wednesday morning. They also cheekily ordered a few packets of…
Tuesday was a day of productivity (and of course more baked goods) Mum and I did the morning workout while Amy did some of her own stretches – don’t really blame her. Our four left feet attempted a cardio dance workout of which we got one move right in every 50. The choreography got continually faster and faster (intermittent with…
A new blog, a new week. What week are we on now? I’ve lost track. Started Monday off with a bum and abs workout, I was gonna say the two most excruciating body parts to work out but which bits aren’t? We were saying how ripped we’d be if it wasn’t for the fact Amy keeps filling the house with…
Gave myself the day off blogging yesterday, so here’s the weekend round up. Saturday was pretty miserable and rainy, dad (and Grandad) were grateful for the rain though for their various seeds/veg. What wasn’t miserable though were Amy’s sourdough croissants. The 13 hours slaving over them paid off. I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed croissants that don’t have…
Made it to day 30, Jack’s almost been living with us a month now (and somehow still smiling). I promised an update on Amy’s sourdough and I can confirm that it was a massive success. The hours tending and singing to the sourdough paid off and she baked a lovely light loaf that we all very much enjoyed with our…
