April 13
Baseline, Upper Body Blast day 14
a set of 15 nice deep push-ups on the stairs
and a fair bit of gardening! And the yeeting of snails. I try to throw them onto the roof of the nearby shed so birds can get them.
If they manage to make it back to the garden, fair play to them.

 

[Fremen]

Congrats

 

[MadamMeow]

I attempted to do 60 days of HIIT day 37, but had to give up during the first round because burpees was just instant nausea.
I may have been a bit too enthusiastic for someone who hasn't been well :')

Walking day 21
Upper Body Blast day 21, Baseline half of day 21
I had a bunch of errands to run and spent the rest of the day sewing a simple pleated apron by hand, which was lovely.
I was doing very well with my exercise before going to bed, except that halfway through Baseline my brain decided this was the perfect time to try embroidery.
At 1 am...
So I was up till 2:30 and then finished the enflowering in the morning ^^

I am very pleased for my first embroidery (and without a pattern. Or planning. Just looking up many pictures of lavender xD)
(also please ignore the round marks from the embroidery hoop, I was too excited to iron the piece first)

More walking, because it turns out there are auroras over NL tonight so I walked to a slightly darker bit of town to take a look =D

 

[graoumia]

@Maegaranthelas were you able to see the auroras? i heard about them this morning at the news, a bit late then..... how was it ?

 

[Maegaranthelas]

I did see them a bit @graoumia , we have a lot of light pollution but thankfully I am not in a big city.
I couldn't see any colours, but did get some of the god rays it was impressive even if it was just shades of grey

I had not expected to be able to see auroras here at any point, but apparently there was a lot of solar activity.

 

[Maegaranthelas]

May 12
First Thing Push Ups day 6
some gardening
I think the warm-weather fatigue caught up to me a bit xD But i made good progress on my crafting project, so I shan't complain ^^

 

[f1shie]

What’s the crafting project?

 

[graoumia]

What’s the crafting project?

Good question, i am curious too

 

[Maegaranthelas]

I have been learning how to make a medieval dress! One of those tight-fitting 'sexy sausage' ones xD
So yesterday I managed to finish my pink linen kirtle. With sleeves!
(for people who sew, yes they were sleevil, though mostly in the figuring out part. turns out my armseye is glorious for a sleeveless dress and less so for sleeves)
I'm immediately going to make one from the least historical fabric, some turquoise knit with black flocked print that I picked up for cheap ages ago xD
I have no idea if knit fabric will make even a wearable kirtle, but it seems like something fun and silly to wear around the house.
I have so much fabric I want to make these things out of, that one isn't even actually on the list :')

Still very hot outside (and in my house because I have not summer-proofed it, because it's May and they keep saying it will just rain for days again)
So not much exercise, but yay crafting ^^
