Staking

Our lilies are doing so well against our back wall that we had to stake them at lunchtime today.

I almost didn't make it to the gym this morning. I think that the stress of the past couple of weeks finally hit me as I walked along Queen Street after my weekly EdCM get-together with Jon and Nev in Continis. However, once I had given myself a good talking to and wiped away my tears, I was ready for an excellent pilates class. Afterwards I went for a swim. Then I enjoyed a cup of tea and chat with Mary, Marie, and Mary (but not Marianne or Marian)* in the gym lounge.

Apart from propping up our plants and preparing a beef stir-fry for supper, this afternoon I focused on admin. Amongst all the wee tasks on my to do list, I also managed to spend £xxx on sports footwear/clothing and underwear - eek!

*Many of the members of my gym are called Mary, Marie, Marianne, Marian and other variants of Mary.

Exercise today: pilates class; swim (30 lengths); walking (~11k steps).
