Wednesday 25 February.
It was a lovely day today but Moira decided to take it easy and relax on the veranda with her knitting and her reading. After breakfast I worked on my blog and listened to the radio before getting ready for a session at the gym. As Moira wasn't going out I took the keys to get in at the gate when I returned, so I didn't have to leave the gym at a set tie to meet Moira to let me in.
I warmed up with a short session using the light dumbbells then did some balancing on the half sphere and the medicine ball, I'm getting much better. I concentrated on my back, shoulders and deltoids today and built up gradually to some heavy weights. I finished off doing squats with a large ball between me and the wall. I rolled down the wall as I bent me knees then rolled the ball up again, I think the idea of using the ball is that it keeps your back straight. It ended up with a 80 minute session today as there wasn't any rush before walking back in the warm sunshine.
It was lunchtime when I got back and Moira had made a minestrone soup which we had with a crusty baguette. Afterwards I finished a crossword then started to edit a few more days on the VF pilgrimage. I have now reached a third of the way or 600km and its interesting to read again all that we went through to accomplish the marathon walk.
It was the usual quizzes on the TV when we came in, and then after dinner there wasn't much on the box that we wanted to see. I read my book and it is really enjoyable. I did put the TV on later to check out a programme on the history of women' rights, it turned out to be very interesting and we watched it before returning to our books. It was nearly 10:30 pm when we got to bed tonight and tomorrow we have the excursion to Santa Cruz, hopefully the bus will turn up this time.
