Before kids, I was a total gym rat.  LOVED the classes at my gym, by Les Mills.

I discovered you can subscribe to them.  Two week free trial and £90 for a YEAR!  All in my own home.  Literally I don’t go anymore because kids.  I just did my first barre class.  Couldn’t make it through the whole thing and my legs are burning.  YES!  This is a big piece of my identity that has been lost for over six years. 

I know this will help me get to a happier place both mentally and physically!

We  have a lady in the Highlands who is 90 and raising money for the Highland Hospice and the NHS and she's up to £23,000. Nae bad for someone from the Highlands that won't get the same kind of publicity as someone down south.

With all the live streams various musicians are doing, one of my US friends was featured on the RAM Records House Party today. Was really nice to see her getting thousands of viewers from around the world with one of the biggest labels in Drum n Bass!

So amazing Jimbo!

I did something I have never done in my adult life today and said I never would.  I’ve ordered a printer.  Sigh, I am ashamed.

The schools by us are doing the same. They've supplied thousands!

We've been busy crocheting ear defenders in my local group, but only for people in non clinical roles who can just wash them on hot. (we give them many so they don't have to reuse em before washing)

I've spent the night listening to 90's Fest streaming on Facebook. It made me want to dance around my room singing along to all the anthems, but i was cosy in bed reading instead. Looking forward to hopefully getting out to one of the events when this is over. They tend to be big enough that they have to factor in accessibility. :)
