Beach Walk.

The day began blowy but dry with the rain and wilder weather arriving later in the afternoon. I started my day with half an hour of standing Pilates to ease out the usual morning aches and pains. This was the first time over the holiday that I've actually got around to doing this and when I went on to FB to find one of Rachel's reels there was a video which she had posted today. If you would like to try this relaxed session you can find it here . The exercises start at 5 minutes in as Rachel gave people time to get organised first. (This bit of text won't justify.)

While it was still dry I went for a walk along the beach to blow away the cobwebs. It was fun striding up the beach with the wind pushing me from behind. Not quite so easy when I turned around but at least I had my clear wrap-around glasses on.

 

At home I had one job scheduled which was to hoover the bedroom carpet. Afterwards as usual I unwound all my long hairs that had wound themselves around the brush head. Then I noticed that the brush head was grubby inside, maybe because the utility room where the hoover is stored is slightly damp. Out came the screwdriver and I began to dismantle the brush head. It took me a while to realise I needed to ping out the two small wheels to get access to one more set of screws. That done it all came apart revealing great clumps of hair (cat and mine) and dust jamming up every corner including around the few moving parts. It took a while but I got it all out. That should help it work more efficiently. 

The storm is here in earnest now so I don't hold out much hope for any New Year's Eve fireworks for us to watch. We're not party people and will have our usual quiet evening tonight.
