Hello and good evening :)
Well, it is here where I am....
We currently have gorgeous weather and even better .....I am off work for two weeks now. Due to covid still not being able to go abroad, but I'm making it a "staycation" to recharge and relax.
With the warmer weather my old bones are feeling a lot better, and I finally got my tomatoes and soe other things planted, now that the threat of frost is gone. But compared to other years I am over a month behind in growth due to the cold weather we had here. So hopefully our summer will last longer before autumn comes again.
The past month I have been taking it easy, but I still tried to stay mobile with gentle walks and bike rides. Cutting down on workload and stress is definitely doing me good. Sometimes it's hard to admit to myself that I can't carry on like I used to , and that some things are harder to do than they were a few years ago. I don't like asking for help, but I have to admit that I need the help sometimes. In my mind I'm still that young woman, but my body says in more and more cases " what the hell were you thinking?"
Somebody said to me years ago " After the menopause the ageing starts" ,I smiled , nodded and thought because I have an active life (walking , cycling, healthy weight, rarely ill) it might not affect me as much. And yes, I still count myself as lucky , but there really is no denying that ageing affects me as well. I have less strength, less energy and tire faster. No more staying up until the early morning hours, if I can I'm in bed early and on days off I even enjoy a short afternoon nap :)
But now to other things.
I finished my summer Granny-go-round crochet top :)
While out and about I have been enjoying the colours of nature and tried to capture them in my pictures.
