What do you do when it stops raining for more than five minutes?

 

It’s been raining in the UK off and on for the last few weeks,(or months really). Yesterday  it actually stopped raining for a few hours so we decided to get some fresh air and went for a walk along the seafront.

 

There were loads of fishermen sat along the edge of the railing fishing. Some of them even had waders on, I’m sure if they were planning on going into the water but it was a ten foot drop.  My niece saw a large yellow and black fly and thought the man had caught a bee.

 

 

And what do you do when it’s October? Of course you stop for ice-cream.

 

This seems to be the only way I get shots of me and my mother. I need to stop lifting my chin so much. (I don’t have a double chin honest)

 

On the way back to the car my step-dad helped my niece to walk across the wall.

 

We even got to see the start of the sunset.

(Is it bad i got better shots of the sky on auto mode rather than sunset?)

 

What did you do this weekend?

Surprise 10k

My sister is training to be a midwife and back in July they organised a 10k walk in aid of midwives@ethiopia, my mum and sister both signed up to do it but it got cancelled.  It was rescheduled for today. I was grabbing a lift into town so I could go the gym with them when they some how managed to convince we into doing it with them. A quick call to my grandparents and I had a few sponsors so we turned up and signed in.

We followed the signs up to Castellamare the halfway point where we took some pictures.

 

Halfway back grabbed some ice-cream.

 

We completed it in just over 2 hours.

Be active

In my quest to be more active i joined the gym yesterday and have been twice.

This is me half an hour after I got home still a little red faced.

Be Active

In the spirit of my One Little Word Be, I thought I would begin with BE ACTIVE.

 

I ordered and received Zumba 2 for the Wii from Amazon.  I received it December 31st.

I started using it January 1st. One medium intensity short class (30minutes) a day.  It’s exhausting but I think it will be good for my stamina so I can eventually get back to Biggest Loser Challenge Wii game.  I have the original Wii Zumba but I like this one a lot better.

Also yesterday my sister and I took my niece and their dog for a walk around our local lake.  We got caught in a hail storm but luckily we had brought umbrella’s and the ducks didn’t mind.

It’s only been three days but I think this one little word thing is going to work.

Shanna.
