Ouch, ouch

Had to happen I suppose, after the highs of Hobart last week, today is not such a good day. Managed to get out for our usual Friday #coffeeoclock but then spent an hour or two flat on my back with a strained muscle (?) and feeling sorry for myself. 

I can touch my toes easily but can't straighten up. Eventually levered myself into the car for a short drive to Happy Valley and a gentle walk round the southern loop of the Reservoir to try and loosen up. 5000 steps later I'm feeling much better but glad I had my stick and water bottle with me. 28° and not much shade.








Sadly as soon as I sit down again (which is actually pain free) my back seizes up again and each time I try to get up and move takes a couple of minutes of 'ouch, ouch'

The City was packed out and there's such a buzz about the place and a real holiday atmosphere. We've had many visitors from interstate and it feels like 'finals' day with a brilliant carnival vibe. Apart from heavy rain on Saturday night (a remnant of r...

Winter's back at the Port

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was warm and sunny, today it's back to cold blustery conditions with rain on the way again. I'm so over this weather.... I need sun. Even the dolphins are hiding today. The best part of the day was 3 hours later when the sun finally made an appearance but I was having an afternoon nap and missed it.
