Sally in Norfolk

Heaven

Tonight for the first time since having my shower fitted I was able to enjoy a nice hot bath.

All thanks to a little gadget similar to this one

It certainly works and now I have plenty of hot water.

You don’t know what a luxury a bath is till you cannot have one !

An experiment

sally — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:58:04 +0000

I have a wart on my finger

Many years ago I used to have about 10 of them…. but I just woke up one day and they had gone

This time a friend at work says try covering the wart with duct tape.

Been doing just that for 2 days now , something is happening to it but I am not sure what !

Will let you know if it disappears

A great day for walking

Today we decided it was time to get back to our walking with the Cambridge Rambling club.

We certainly picked the best day for it weather wise.

17 other people also thought today was the perfect day for a walk too.

We set off from Haverhill Sports centre for a 15 mile circular walk.

It felt good to be out walking again especially as the sun shone on us all day

Sarah the walk leader provided home made mince pies at coffee break too.

Then it was home to rip the kitchen out the house that Geoff is doing up ready to rent

It still amazes me how many calories I burn when walking or running I really should be as thin as a stick

Todays walk on google earth

sally — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:11:31 +0000

Google Earth streams the world over wired and wireless networks enabling users to virtually go anywhere on the planet and see places in photographic detail. This is not like any map you have ever seen. This is a 3D model of the real world, based on real satellite images combined with maps, guides to restaurants, hotels, entertainment, businesses and more. You can zoom from space to street level instantly and then pan or jump from place to place, city to city, even country to country.

A Running Wednesday

sally — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:32:42 +0000

As I don’t expect there to be any walking Wednesdays for a while, maybe months.

I have decided Wednesdays will become my running day.

Got off to a good start today with a 6 mile run and we shall see if I can build it up to 10 miles.

I did get a few surprises on my run today.

My track was completely flooded in more than one place and I don’t mean by just an inch or two of water

Most sensible people would have turned back but not me.

So I ran most of the way with very wet feet

Then I came across a herd of deer in the field next to me, but once they heard me puffing along they soon ran off.

It was a lovely sight though to see their white tails disappearing into the distance.

Also on a patch of road side I found at least 300 lovely snowdrops

I shall enjoy my stretch at yoga tonight that’s for sure.

My running stats from my Garmin Forerunner can be seen below….. notice how many calories I burnt

Spring is on its way

Back to normal

sally — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:47:00 +0000

After a very hectic week , helping Geoff move and settle into his new house.

We even managed a house warming party on Saturday.

All his new neighbours came which was wonderful and a great way to get to know them all.

It was good to be able to help Geoff move and I just know that he is going to be very very happy in his new house

I should be back to my normal routine this week.

It started today with my usual swim and yoga class

Tomorrow I shall try to catch up with all my blog reading.

An unusual weekend

sally — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:10:48 +0000

No walking or swimming this weekend.

We had more important jobs like clearing Glisson Road.

Many trips were made to the tip and Charity shops.

Then the auction men came and took most of the antiques away.

Leaving the house feeling very empty.

The weekend was not all work though as Geoff’s next door neighbors had us round for a farewell dinner, which was most enjoyable.

Not many people have the same neighbors for 26 years

Sunday night we had friends round for dinner and used the sauna for the last time, it shall be greatly missed

I have only known the house for around 3 years but it holds many happy and special memories for me, it also feels like home.

So its nice that I shall be back in Cambridge on Thursday to help with the big move !!

Not quite a wasted day

sally — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:44:39 +0000

Due to Geoff’s immanent House move we were unable to have a walking Wednesday.

Much to my disappointment,due to a mid-day appointment that could not re-scheduled,
I was also unable to go to Cambridge today.

So I wasted most of the day doing nothing

But I did make another 10 jars of marmalade and a fish pie

So not a totally wasted day !

A fun packed Valentines

sally — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:34:34 +0000

A great start to Valentines day.

Doing what we love best ( well almost best )

A 15 mile walk from Royston, with the Cambridge rambling club.

Jill led us on a very undulating route.

Good to see my heart rate rise as we went up hill then fall as soon as we reached the top

Later in the evening Geoff took me out for a lovely Valentines Meal followed by a special showing of Breakfast at Tiffanys shown at the Arts cinema.

Which incidentally was released the year I was born

All in all a very packed and enjoyable day and Yes I did find time to give Geoff a nice relaxing Indian Head massage too.
