Holy moly -3c forecast for tonight, I’ll be snuggling down & sleeping in - if I’m lucky🍀. We rarely get this low.
Good quiet day today. I did the best yoga based Balance class & am starting to figure out the new Les Mills app a bit better. I also got to spend a little time in the garden but not for long as it was pretty damn cold even though I was double layered. Minor jobs done. I think Praying Mantis must be hatching, I found a little baby on Crepe Myrtle twig. I love these little insects, awesome wee things. #Winter #Exercise #LesMills #GardenBugs

A baby Praying Mantis perched on the side of a twig from my Crepe Myrtle. There’s a blurry ceramic cat behind that a US friend sent me years ago.

Good morning tooters. What a difference a day makes. No gorgeous sunrise this morning. I guess the sun must be up but it’s so foggy you’d never know it. It’s even slightly misty in my own garden 😃 & I can’t even see a glimpse of the eucalyptus tree at the end of my street. It was -2c when I got up & it’s now +2c but feels colder. It’s supposed to get to 13c - we will see.
No plans to go out at all today, a quiet’ish day at home just puttering around. I should feed my sourdough starter & prep for making bread making sometime in the next couple of days.
I do plan an exercise class this morning as well, probably balance would be a nice way to end the week. I’ve managed to get some exercise in most days this week which is great as other aspects of life often get in the way, especially lately.
Have a fabulous #Friday everyone, end of the working week for some. Stay warm & dry, enjoy your day. #Weather #Winter #Fog #Exercise #Home

Yikes, I thought it was Friday & have been waiting for Phil to call it & send cheers 🍻 to him for the weekend. Now I’ve gone & poured myself a lovely glass of Rosè & realise it’s only Thursday 😬. Oh well, the wine is very nice anyway.
Anyway, I did my walk around the river this morning, ended up at 7.5km which is pretty credible. Took some photos of the new artwork & another of the beautiful Roos 🦘there were some big boys in that mob. The gum leaves I absolutely love. The indigenous panels are beautiful too & I think the two I’ve included are the best. Sadly I walked into this track a little further than I planned & some dirtbags have dumped their household rubbish a little further down the track. Some humans are a such a blight! It was a lovely walk though albeit very cold & the council have put a signpost at the start now so it won’t be my private domain any longer - I have to share it 😁. #Exercise #RiverWalk #MurrayRiver #GatewayIsland

Four large metal guy leaves looking like they’ve just fallen from a tree, with a raised platform inside. A eucalyptus tree is framed behind it & native bush behind that. All framed against a lovely cloud filled sky with a bright streak of blue near the top.
A mob of kangaroos 🦘 alert to my presence & standing in a paddock of drying grasses & weeds. Native trees can be seen behind the kangaroos.
I don’t know if I’ll do this justice, but I’ll try. Indigenous art work on a pylon under an old railway bridge. It shows a yellow sun in the corner with rays streaming out, beside it is a black bird, like a raven plus some Bogong moths in the sky, possibly food for the raven. Then beside that are some red tinged hills. Beneath are representations of grasses, bushes, plants & flowers. Beneath again is the soil with plant root systems, then what looks like water with a patterned serpent swimming through.
Between two old railway bridge pylons with indigenous artwork of two possums sitting in the forks of trees on either side of the picture. In the middle is what I believe may be the moon. I’m not sure what the white wavy lines represent but for me I see them fluid, like dew.

Good morning tooting friends. It was 0c again this morning & it’s not much better now at just 2c. We’re going to have an overcast day reaching just 12c, but my goodness there was a glorious sunrise out the back of my place.
I’m going to repeat the 7km walk I did on Tuesday just so I can take photos of the new art installations around the river. Looking forward to being outside for a while. I hoe to spend just a little time in the garden this afternoon trimming back my small Crepe Myrtle & a couple of other things. The small Cinnamon Myrtle I planted last year has new growth on it, it was only about 25c tall when it was planted, it’s doubled its size in just a year.
Went & said goodbye to my niece yesterday as she goes back to Perth this morning. My sisters cardiologist appointment went well, but she has to put on weight & be more mobile before she can have her heart procedure. Rehab to start on Monday thank goodness & 🤞🏼.
Happy #Thursday people, have a wonderful day - stay warm. #Weather #Exercise #Sunrise #Family

A bright orange sunrise viewed over the top of my back fence this morning with other wire fencing behind it. Eucalyptus & various other natives trees are silhouetted against the dawn light. The light towards the bottom of the picture shows rising mist from nearby farmland.

Good morning tooters. I woke up from a dream filled sleep where I was carrying a teeny tiny miniature horse, had a beautiful leather backpack & was in Shepparton - yeah, I have no idea either 🤷🏼‍♀️😂. Very foggy & a cold 🥶 0c when I got up, no frost of course, too damp from the rain yesterday. It’s still only about 4c & will be a cloudy overcast day with a top of 12c.
Trying to pick an exercise class for today while also figuring out how the new Les Mills app works. I’ll make a decision once I’m ready to do a class.
I’ll be going down to my sisters after lunch, firstly because she has a cardiologist appointment this morning & secondly to say goodbye to my niece who is heading back to Perth tomorrow. The other niece who lives in Wodonga will then move in, maybe temporarily, maybe permanently. My sisters mobility is still a big issue.
Wishing you all a wonderful #Wednesday, hope you all stay safe & warm. #Weather #AussieWinter #Exercise #Family

Thoroughly enjoyed my walk this morning. I decided to take the shorter route due to the weather & I’m very glad I took my umbrella. I did forget my phone though, but that wasn’t an issue except I couldn’t take photos & of course came across a few things I wanted to photograph. There’s a new art installation of large metal gum leaves, I saw a wallaby which isn’t usual in the area. There’s also a road bridge that the path goes under which has lots of graffiti on the pylons. The people who tag it call it the ‘bridge of truth’ & someone has taken the time to write a poem on one pylon. I also went off track & into a new area that leads to the old railway bridge which has proper artwork attached underneath. It should have only been a 5km walk but ended up doing just shy of 7km - I loved it & the exploring.

Good morning tooters. It’s a grey, damp old day outside. It was just 5c when I got up & has only risen to 8c now, but it feels cooler & is only heading to 13c. There is supposed to be rain ☔️ around at some stage but not much in it.
Despite the weather I’ve decided to go for a walk anyway. That’s why I have a variety of coats & a good umbrella ☔️ 😊.
I made some soup 🍲 yesterday afternoon, it needs finishing off today but it’s definitely an *everything but the kitchen sink* soup & delicious. Started it with my own stock, then added all types of veg that were looking sad, plus 2 small containers of other leftover soups & 2 little containers I found in the freezer, one had some gravy in it, the other was tomato, also a container of shredded chicken, a few herbs & spices & let it all meld together 😋. I couldn’t even tell you now all that is in it, but it doesn’t matter, it’s all flavour. I waste nothing.
Have a lovely #Tuesday everyone, stay dry & keep warm. #Weather #Exercise #Cooking #NoWasteCooking

Today I simply share and solve (hopefully!) The Art of the Metaobject Protocol exercise 1.1

(the softball generic classes #memoization exercise from chapter 1)

I just added a lexical closure of hash tables.

Good morning tooters. There’s a fog rolling in, the rest of Wodonga is already blanketed, but I’m a little higher up. Very quiet, still, grey & eerie outside. I don’t mind a fog tbh, I like the eeriness & how it seems to dampen noise. It’s about 5c & should get to 13c & apparently the sun will come & burn off the fog at some stage 😄.
My daughter is coming for a visit this morning & has asked me to go pj shopping with her which will be lovely. She won’t be here for an hour or two, so I might be able to get a pump class in if I start moving shortly.
I’m going to start that soup today that I’d planned a couple of days ago. I now have a few spare containers for freezing purposes. I used to have a heap of containers for the freezer, I have no idea where they all went 🤷🏼‍♀️.
Hope you all have a marvellous #Monday. Stay warm out there. #Weather #Winter #Exercise #Shopping

Working from home did not work well for me.

First, I was missing commuting. Really!

Three hours a week on the #bicycle is good for me and I just don't do that, when I don't have to. When I work from home, I have less #exercise.

Second, I was missing my colleagues and even my boss. Really!

Socializing, e.g. eating together, talking about this and that, is important. Video conferencing is a far cry from real meetings.

I'm allowed to work from home as much as I want, but I do that only some days per year.

Good morning tooting friends. It’s actually a little warmer this morning considering the last week. It’s currently 5c out & only getting to 11c, but I’m not cold, in fact I’m a little too warm & have turned off the heater. It’s raining 🌧️ quite softly outside, but looks like it could get a bit heavier for a while. I like it 😊.
It’s going to be a Chinese laundry around here today & tomorrow too no doubt. I have yesterday’s washing, mostly dry now, on clothes horses behind the lounge chairs & I’ve gone & washed all the towels before I realised it was raining - oops.
Not doing too much today. A Les Mills Balance class is on the agenda, there are a few new ones I want to check out. Then I’ll drop down to visit my sister, home by lunchtime & that’ll be me for the day probably.
Hope everyone enjoys their #Sunday, have a good one.
