Good good@Froud thanks! Yes everything is holding fine
The eye thing is scary.. I can look horror movies, but if there's anything with eyes...but luckily it goes well
I am glad for you both!I understand, my partner has the same. It can be gory as hell and she is fine, but she will disappear if an eye is in the action

@TheLibrarian @JCU @HellYeah @colin @Fremen @Matan @vivviv @Mamatigerj @PetiteSheWolf @Anek @Laura Rainbow Dragon @mavie I had a lovely day with cake at work and having dinner in my favorite restaurant
@Mamatigerj @Anek @colin @Laura Rainbow Dragon thanks, I called my old garage, who sold me my car (with the issue) and they will repair it for 1/5th of the price and do the new examination. So it seems to be less painful

Happy Birthday! 
Your birthday dinner looks delicious! (And is reminding me that I still have cherries in my freezer, which I cooked up into pie filling back when I harvested them, that also works great for making this cake. It is a popular cake here, which we know as "black forest cake".
Glad you are getting a deal on the car repairs!

I seem to not be able to get a consistent routine. I notice that I feel some resistance starting, because it feels like a lot and time consuming. So I decided to change it again.
every morning a short (1-2 min) cardio workout to start te day
every day a different focus (arms, legs or abs), doing 1 focus workout
only 1 challenge
daily walk of minimum 20 min
running 3x per week
I will keep my personal goals like eating healthy and getting enough rest/sleep.
October summary
I was less active than in September, skipped too many days. Made more kilometers though, running is going well.
