Yesterday was a grey day and in the morning I went to Pilates where I got told I was finding some of the exercises too easy so I was pushed to do the hard versions which were HARD!

I have no idea what day it is... I don't know why. We woke up to lovely sunshine! It's been unseasonably warm (12C/54F). The little robot lawn mower seems happy. At the moment it's programmed to start at 8am and trundle around the lawn for three hours (it takes a break to recharge half way through).

All this exercising on the floor makes me see the dust under things, so it was time to move furniture and do a 'proper' clean of all the flooring ( Read more... )
