busy January

We’ve been busy over the January break. It is nearly time for the girls and the husband to go back to school, but not quite yet. We have been swimming at the local pool most days, and I have been gradually regaining my fitness after a very non-fit year seeing The Gymnast was too injured to walk to school. It was embarrassing (to myself only) to see how unfit I had become! So I am slowly adding more laps of breaststroke, and then increasing the number of freestyle laps within my total number of laps. It is lovely to be exercising again. I hope to keep it up when everyone goes back to school, but I’m not sure how I’m going to fit it in. I will make every effort!

We have also been building a shed during these holidays. My dad is an excellent handyman and with him, we have been doing the work. It has been enjoyable to be out there doing manual work with my dad. Exhausting though!

The Gymnast has been training each day at gym, and The Reader has been reading and going out with friends.

In the evenings when I’m not falling asleep, I’ve been doing some embroidery for the book. And we’ve also had friends and relatives around for meals.

Next week school resumes, with them all going back on different days. Depending on where the shed is up to, I might be out there painting by myself. 🙂
