Today I have beautiful flowers around the house to remind me of my recent birthday and a delightful lunch shared with family and dear friends. I thank my daughter-in-law and son for organising it for me.
I don't really need the reminders that I'm older. My bones are telling me today. Here's a tip for other seniors who belong to a gym - don't let a 20 year old who thinks you are wonderful for your age re-write your exercise programme. It's damn near killing me and I'm too pig headed to tell her.
I much prefer my Monday Tai Chi class. That's a much more civilised way to exercise and, having exerted ourselves, we all then have lunch together at this place with the windows wide open to catch any breeze.
I need a nap.
Glad you had a good birthday and your flowers are lovely. Now don't over do it!!
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns. All this exercise and I can see you being able to dodge rain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I haven't gotten flowers in sometime. Miss that! Exercise I do like, but I need a coach.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday greetings to you!

Hope you had a good one Pauline! the flowers are gorgeous. Ha! I fall in a heap when I'm done with my circuit at the gym, but not until I reach my car. Pride dictates that I strut out of there like I"ve not an ache anywhere! -groan-
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns of the day, and please don't overdo on the exercise, it's not pretty when the results come home to roost. Don't ask how i know.
ReplyDeleteOf course you can handle this new regime. You've gotta keep movin or you get old!
ReplyDeleteHello Pauline,
ReplyDeleteDon't let that 20 year old beat you, enjoy the lunches I say!
Lucy had a good look around your blog the other night and says Hello.
Happy days.
Bev.
Gorgeous flowers, Pauline! That looks like a great place for a post gym lunch.
ReplyDeleteBut at least you have those beautiful flowers to cheer you up again Pauline :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice and painless day!

I. Too, am glad that you had a good birthday. On the subject of the gym one of the things I loved about 1-to-1 in Napier was the fact that they started you off at a level that didn't put you off and gently worked you up so that you hardly noticed. When I used to return after 6 months away I would realise just how much I had even pushed the previous year and ho much I had to build up all over again.
