After yesterday's long walk relaxing on TENERIFE.

Chinyero eruption 1909.

 

Chinyero 2015.
 

 


Friday 6 March.

 

Moira found a picture on the Internet showing the eruption of Chinyero in 1909. Above is that photograph and the comparison with the view now.

 

Today was another easy day other than my workout at the gym. Moira had fallen yesterday near the end of the walk and landed on her back. This morning when she wakened it was very sore and she decided to give it a rest today. She did come out with me on the way to the gym but didn't go up the hill, instead she continued to Mercadona supermarket and then headed back to the flat.

 

It was another hot and sunny day, already at 9 am, and it warmed me up by the time I reached the gym. I started with some exercises on my legs; leg extensions, hamstring curls, leg presses and squats leaning against the wall with the big ball. Next it was my upper body with; chest presses machine, lat pull downs, pec deck, and upright rowing. Finally it was a few exercises for my abs; hip extensions and sit-ups. It was even warmer as I walked back to the flat. I met Moira on the road she had gone to the agent's office and bought another's months Internet access. We now have two access numbers until next week, she had bought the extra one to get a full month for her money before we leave on April 1.

 

When I got in I settled down with a cup of coffee and worked on my account of yesterday's visit and walk round the volcano for my blog. After lunch I did a crossword while listening to the radio. There is new temporary radio station, Radio 2 Country, with Country Music as a build up to a music festival at the week-end. It was quite enjoyable music. When I finished the crossword I edited another few days of my VF diary in preparation for a book.

 

The evening was a normal Friday for TV after the early quizzes. After 'Mastermind' we had the 'Three Musketeers' then it was off to bed.
