went to our last aquasize for the year on Tuesday…

the weather was warm, which always makes going out more fun;-)…

it is always a great time, even if we are worn out at the end of the class, lol…

we’ve had to miss a few times due to other activities, and we are going to change to Thursdays in the new year which means we shouldn’t miss any…

being there every week will also provide some continuity and keep us more fit…

it was a beautiful sunny day as we went for another walk along a different section of the Harte Trail the other day…

the sunshine was glorious and the path was dry…

this portion had a canopy so it felt as though we were walking in a bit of a tunnel… can’t wait to walk this one in the summer when the leaves are overhead…

beautiful trees and a lovely sky… an excellent way to get our exercise in when we can’t make it to the pool…

also tested out my new boots;-)…

spent a good portion of the day on Sunday in the garden raking up leaves… there were a lot of them as well as dead cedar bits…

I know it is a bit early for the bugs, but I want to be able to sit on the back deck…

I left an old garbage can filled with some of what I’d picked up open so the little critters could still get out;-)…

what a difference this has made… it still needs another good going over, but I can now sit comfortably on the back deck and think about how it is going to look with flowers and the fish in the pond…

yesterday was a beautiful day… the sun shone and the temperature made it to 6° Celsius…

took the opportunity to top up the water in the hot tub…

now that the hose is hooked up in the basement it is a bit of a process…

the hose comes upstairs and just reaches to the outside of the door… then it has to be turned on with pliers at the tap at which point it expands so I can reach the hot tub…

takes a while to fill it to above the top hole on the filter, then I run downstairs and close the tap, again with the pliers… and run back up as the hose starts to contract before it yanks out of the tub… and finally taking the hose downstairs and hanging it up for the next time…

so I did get a bit of exercise;-)…

went for another walk around the neighbourhood… it was a bit cool and windy, but the sun was shining so it was enjoyable… hoping to get back into a regular routine, lol…

took another book to drop off at the Little Library and while I was there I picked up two to bring home to read…

good exercise carrying them as I walked;-)…

on Thursday we walked instead of going to aquasize…

we had breakfast at the Park Cafe where we waited a few moments before getting our table…

I had falafel eggs Benedict without the English muffin and it was very tasty…

after that, we drove over and walked around the outside of the Diversity Gardens on the road which was clear of snow and ice… we went through the Gardens as well where most of the paths were snow free… it was cold, but basically the only frozen things were our fingers, lol… particularly when I was glove-free taking photos…


we enjoyed our half hour walk and are looking forward to more such walks as the weather improves;-)…

sun was out and it only felt like -14 Celsius, so I went outside to see about getting rid of the ice that has built up where I stand to get into and out of the hot tub…

ice here seems unusual, but could be because I haven’t cleared the snow on my path to the tub every single time it has snowed, lol…

anyway, I’ve slipped a few times so it felt important to clean it up…

that, of course, meant I had to get into the garage to get the ice chopper… but the good news is that now the doorknob has been removed I can get in via the person door again… so I had to shovel to get there…

once I had the chopper it took a while to get rid of most of the ice as the sun doesn’t shine in this area of the garden;-)… handy tool to get the job done…

was careful not to get too close to where the power cord goes… but, it is done and now safe to get in and out of the hot tub…

and I got my exercise for the day…

enjoyed the aquasize class although I lost a quarter when the key wouldn’t come out of the slot, lol…

the new gloves really do work well, although they caught on the rail as I was getting out of the pool…

next time I will take them off before I get to the stairs… but they sure look great with my water shoes;-)…

hadn’t shovelled for a few days so went out on Saturday morning to do the sidewalk so people knew I was alive, lol…

wow… a lot of snow had come down…

besides doing the front sidewalk and a space towards each of the neighbours’ yards for the mail carrier, I also shovel a single path along the driveway to get to the vents for the furnace…

I want to be sure they aren’t plugged with snow, which stops the furnace… not a good look😳…

this morning my adventure buddy and I went back to aquasize for the first time in about three years…

we’d been going to Cindy Klassen at that time… currently that pool is closed for repairs, so our excursion today was to the Pan Am pool…

we hadn’t been there previously and weren’t sure of the situation with Covid, so we were a bit nervous…

registering for the class online had been complicated, but we got it done… and the great news is that we can use our Healthy Living Access card from now on… no more fighting with the online registration system;-)…

the space was clean, there were ample lockers, the other participants were friendly, music was excellent and the teacher was tremendous…

and we appreciated the assistance of the staff as they answered all our questions;-)…

we had a great experience and are looking forward to the next time… especially now we can use our Access cards, lol…

had a two hour nap when I got home…

wonder how I will feel tomorrow…
