I like to potter around in the garden too (but only when the weather is nice).

Day two of the #gym smashed.

I woke up this morning and felt WRECKED. I’m struggling to get up and down the stairs 🤣

So I did an upper body day. I used the machines and can’t remember what I used but I feel like I’ve been worked all over now so I’d say that’s better.

Having a weekend of rest now.

@Sar I’d certainly say that was a good deal!

So I started my #gym journey again.

It’s been YEARS since I was last at the gym and I was nervous because I felt like everyone was staring at me. But I knew what I wanted to do and cracked on.

Knew I couldn’t stay long as had to go to the grocery store after to pick up dinner so did the following:

- 10m walk on incline treadmill
- 10m on rowing machine
- 3x10 10kg dumbbell exercises (around the world, chest press, goblin squat and overhead single arm press)

I wobbled home. Oh man 😂

Does anyone have any advice about instant #cameras? Currently mulling over the Instax Mini 40 and the #Instax Mini 90.

Having an evening with @Kashouri playing #UNO by candlelight, drinking vegan Baileys and eating Bombay mix.

I assure you, we don’t have a power cut 😂

I made both #lemon curd and #strawberry jam this weekend. I’d say I was productive but I really enjoy this - it’s kinda relaxing to me :)

@felitastic I got up early this morning and I’ve done some chores, had a nice time buying cushion covers, made some jam. But then I’ve also watched a lot of Gilmore Girls so I’d say I was half way there to a lazy Sunday :)

#Sunday.

The worst day of the week because it’s the last day of the weekend and the dread of #Monday is looming on the horizon. And you want to be productive and do things but you can’t be bothered and want to have a lazy day.

I mean, the cat has been asleep since 9am and I am honestly thinking that might be the best option today. It’s raining so it sounds good to me.

@AngryAnt Yeah but it’s £90 for the case and I don’t have that kind of money right now :/

So I had a set of Apple AirPods 3rd gen knocking around the house and I’m using those as a temp stopgap for the #Sony XM4s.

The sound quality isn’t as good and they barely have any noise cancelling - which sucks. Tempted by the #AirPods Pro but hearing that there might be a new version coming out so might wait for them.

I dunno. I have the over ear #XM4s and they’re really good but I like the convenience of the earbuds 😣

@aimartinez it’s a good phone - my last one was good too but with the possible price increases on the horizon - I just wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to buy the next update.

So I got a new phone today - #iPhone 14 Pro Max. It doesn’t make sense I upgraded from a 13 Pro Max but with the rumours stating that the mute button is being taken away and that the price per month is going up - it was kind of a no-brainer.

Plus I get a slightly faster phone and the #Dynamic Island.
