Gingerbread Fitness
With the house move my daily commute has increased from twenty minutes to at least an hour there and back everyday. It wouldn’t be too awful but I don’t seem to have any time in my day for myself. I leave at half six and I’m home between five and half six. I have dinner, and bath and then I’m ready for bed. I haven’t been able to fit any walks or fitness in which I am beginning to feel. Then I remembered Joe Wicks the Body Coach, his Videos are High Intensity (HIT) Workouts between 20-30 minutes long. I am trying to fit at least four in a week and will hopefully start to see the benefits soon.
Gingerbread Family
On Christmas Day we sadly received the news that my Tante Aneliese had fallen and banged her head, unable to communicate (due to deteriorating health) she had suffered head trauma and passed away. Her funeral was arranged for January, I was unable to attend but my parents did. For my mother it was a chance to reunite with the family she hasn’t seen in over a decade. Mamilein has no sense of decorum/occasion, you really can’t take her anywhere. In the middle of a funeral she had a conversation with my cousin that went like this;
Mamilein (M): You are quite speedy on that thing.
Cousin who uses a walking aid (C): it helps me to walk
M: When I die I’m going to get stuffed and sit in a chair or haunt everyone.
C: Do you know what my husband said he will do when I die? He’s going to stuff me and bend me over so that he can use me as a bike rack.
To which my mother howled with laughter in the middle of the service.
