Saturday November 19th
I started a new jigsaw. Pico helped again, especially with stopping on time. It is so addictive! I had already a very sore back but hadn't stopped if Pico didn't make me.
And tonight I went to the new Black Panther in the cinema. I'm a bit conflicted about what to think. It was good, beautiful and full of cliché. Some things weren't logical. I would recommend it for sure.

Monday November 21st
I have been reading all morning until halfway the afternoon. Then I went for a hike, and realised it is getting dark so early! 4.40 pm... and the red route of 5km I wanted to follow was nowhere to be found, saw an orange instead of a red arrow, so tried to follow that but after the first arrow it dissapeared. I found a purple sign from another organisation, looked it up and it was 3.7 and that was a better distance anyway because it would be dark soon, so followed that one. It was beautiful! When almost at the end I finally saw a red sign, so next time I'll give that another try

Went to a very awesome 'experience' with a friend. It was indeed an experience, it was a 3D (video)art exposition, it's impossible to explain, but they used modern audiovisual techniques to remake the old artists like Van Gogh. If you are anywhere near The Netherlands, I will totally recommend it: Remastered, in Rotterdam.

@JCU thank you so much! And I made a list today, at least it made me start but so luttle time...
@CODawn
@Nanna Io I am doing lvl 1 programs as kind of a warming up, but the intensity is more than just a warmup. So I wanted to find a name that was more suitable, and was inspired by @JCU using the word 'basics', and that's exactly what it is.
Sunday November 27th
Busy day, too many plans for too little time. I started the day with aquarium maintenance. Went to my brother and his wife to help reorganising their attic, which meant a lot of stair steps. Went for a hike, then grocery shopping, quickly cleaned the toilet and did some dishes before a friend came over for dinner and painting. Just did some exercise. My to do list is still very long, but it's 10.45 pm, so the day has ended. Tomorrow another chance!

Drawing challenge
Day 16/19
A project of my friend she got from her son's school (parents are apparently supposed to make surprise presents for their kids). It's a folder for drawings her son has to use at (primary) school.
I did the sketching and we both painted. It's not finished yet, because I didn't have black paint
so we couldn't make grey...

@JCU yes they are (both things! )
@CODawn oh yes, so lovely!
Monday November 28th
Today I went to the hearth shop, to talk about making my open fireplace into a closed wood stove. Found a beautiful option, with glass around the corner
Almost forgot to draw today, and then I chose a cat with a really hard perpective... so no real quick scribble.
In 3 days I have to go back to work. No idea how to do that...
Hike 3.94 km on a beautiful estate around a castle (castle was hard to see due to maintenance work, it was all wrapped up)
Basics Baseline, day 27, lvl 1+, 30 sec rest
Program Zero Hero, day 17, lvl 1+, 30 sec rest
Challenge Deadhang, day 24, failure after 60 sec. I think I'll drop this challenge. It's merely the strength in my hands/fingers that I lack, and after 60 sec it's really hard. So maybe stick to a practice up to 60 seconds.
Challenge Easy abs, day 26, 90 air bike crunches with 2x2 kg ankle weights
Challenge Easy core, day 26, 90 side bends
Challenge Easy cardio, day 26, 110 step jacks
Challenge Daily walk, day 30. 48 min hike.
Challenge 1 min meditation, day 29
Challenge Daily Gratitude day 29:
* Beautiful autumn colors
* Impressive estates
* An honest salesman that asked for help by his colleague
Challenge Counting victories day 29:
* Hiking in the rain
