#WBOYC in March

 

So another month has gone past in fast forward mode and suddenly here we are with British Summer Time beginning in a few days. Here's a brief resume of how my month progressed, noting that I ended the month a whole year older than when it started 🎉

Watching and Reading

I managed to read a variety of books this month and you can see my reviews of those in a couple of days time.  On TV we watched the Netflix drama that everyone is talking about, Adolescence.  What a powerful performance from everyone concerned.  It makes me grateful that the online world was not as compulsive when my children were growing up but concerned for my grandchildren.  I think that it should be viewed by all parents of young children and teenagers to forewarn them of the dangers that they may be vulnerable to experience. We are also watching Protection which we are enjoying and we've also just finished The Bay.  I am watching White Lotus (Paul has given up with that one!)

Eating

We are still enjoying experimenting with the recipe spice box that our son arranged for our Christmas present - tonight it is the turn of lamb rogan josh.  We were sent all the herbs and spices needed, we just have to provide any fresh products.  I love Rogan Josh in Indian restaurants so have high hopes for this one!  

We have been to lunch twice at friends' houses and enjoyed a lovely Sicilian lunch out in Cambridge for my birthday.

Self Care

I'm still continuing with my pilates class and think there may be a tiny improvement in my flexibility.  Plus I am managing to hold all the positions a bit longer and don't find them quite so difficult.  But ... there is still a long way to go!  Still enjoying my Zumba Gold classes, you really do feel lighter and more positive after an hour of dancing.

At the end of last month I was awaiting results of my scan and I cannot put into words how relieved I was to receive a call to say that there was nothing sinister detected and they did not want to send me for more tests. 

Days Out

We went to Cambridge on my birthday, it is such a lovely place.  Full of character and atmosphere and always somewhere new to discover.  

We also went to Walton on the Naze when we went to visit friends who live near there.  It's a place of two halves, on one side the seaside resort and pier that was so popular years ago but now looking a little tired, and on the other side a more wild, natural area which is sadly at risk of coastal erosion.  

There’s a bit of a story behind the new car I got this month.  Let’s just say that I am driving a new car, but it’s not the one I ordered 😬 I'll elaborate more after the garage manage to get the car that I wanted in the first place - hopefully not too long to wait!

Here's the month, 1 Second Everyday

Now please do pop over to Deb's World in Australia who co-hosts this fun monthly round up.  Better still, join in the fun and share your month too!
