I am very pleased with myself as far as my walking goes. I replaced my Jawbone with the Fitbit. Jawbone changed their clasp and I thought it was terrible as it kept opening and then I ended up losing it. I had being wearing Jawbone for a few years thanks to David buying one for Erich when he had his bi-pass. The Fitbit turns out to be much better – I love it.
I started on 1 August to aim for 10K steps. I walk to work 3 mornings a week and usually walk home one day. I don’t do exactly 10K steps each day, some days are far more and some are less. Each week I have been doing over 75K steps.
This week I have had to change my plans a little but I still got my steps done.. It is slightly amusing as one ages that one has to have various things tinkered with to keep the body functioning properly. Erich has had his heart and eyes ‘reconditioned’ and now I am having some remedial surgery to ensure the nasties don’t interfere with my wellbeing.
Kate sent me a couple of tiny videos of Isabelle so I combined them and made the video – Miss Isabelle’s Chinese Song – see near the top of video list in right hand column. I am going to try and load lots of the old ones as well. I may combine them like I did for Isabelle.
Kate sent me the photos below. The shirt James is wearing was Simon’s, the nightie Sarah is wearing was one of Katie’s favourite. Kate was always a sucker for satin. The singlet top was a Buster Brown – the 3 Canadian kids had tops like this plus plaid pants that went with them. The ranges each year used to have different animal tags on them so kids could choose a top that went with the pants – elephant with elephant etc.
I am slowly learning WordPress and I am pleased with how far I have come in three weeks. I am now going to concentrate on making this site have a log in for security. Hopefully in the next two weeks.
Memories …
The BW photo is a tiny proof and it is all that I have. We had this done professionally and I have no idea where the photos went. I think we may have done them as Christmas gifts and couldn’t afford to have copies for us. Don’t know. The coloured print was taken on a Saturday morning at Sandringham council grounds. The Girl Guides obviously had a job. Do you recognise the man, and that cute little fellow to the left? I thought I had a photo of Kate in that nightie but couldn’t find one. It gave me the idea of showing some of the scrapbook on line.
