    TIL a new word, conspecies.

    species so alike as to be very difficult to tell apart ( I am sorting and classifying my shells from NZ )

    Well that was an interesting afternoon. We went as a family for fish and chips in the park, then took a drive to some of the parks in neighbouring suburbs that have outdoor gyms and tried them out. Went to about 4 different spots; some had great equipment and some not, but I ended up cobbling together a fairly good workout and the kids got into it as well. It’s not sustainable for me though, because these places are not convenient for me to get to. If the park near my house had an upgrade it could include equipment like that. But my exercise program for today was sorted anyway!

    Nap #2 is over.

    Time to feed the strays shortly and dig into some music stuff.

    Been practising the covers I’ll play at open mic almost every day the last week or so. I intend to get back out in 2 weeks.

    I think it’ll feel very different to last time because I’m not numbed out. It was an awesome time don’t get me wrong, but when I think back to it, it’s like it’s cloudy.

    Hard not to nap with a fluffy nap friend.

    Seems like the day for activity after yesterday’s blustery weather. The sun is making all the difference - that and the yucky feeling after rotmaxxing on YT all day yesterday in bed/on couch.

    So far aside from the usual cleaning, have given the air fryer as best a clean as I could (I suspect I need Jif and steel wool to really do the job), and done the big task of the day - cleaning the air purifier filters after over 6 months non stop operation in this awful dusty carpeted place. I should’ve done it ages ago; there’s arcs of very fine dust almost embedded into the plastic of the outer panel that I needed to scrub very hard to get it off. The cleanable parts are getting a good sun propped on my bed after the vacuum and wash. The carbon and HEPA filters probably do need replacing but I’ll do it when I get back (just two weeks before I go, seems pointless to replace it now).

    I so very deeply miss my plants… sigh…

    Yesterday was a day of vacuuming and laundry and today I’d like to do nothing, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Last night I decided it’s time to get back on my fitness journey/bandwagon/whatever it is. I lost a lot of weight and got fitter, but now it’s all back to how it was and I need to address it. Back to daily at home exercise and workouts. I wish my local park had those free exercise machines that other parks have, I love some of those! Hard to find an app which has good exercises for older people who don’t want to trash their joints or pay an ungodly amount for a monthly subscription. I’ve uninstalled a couple already because they’re too pushy for money, want to send too many notifications or have too many ads. The app I used last time has really gone downhill in this regard. So I’m still looking.

    Popped some codral original night tablets before bed last night and had a much needed good sleep. I’ve got the energy today to vacuum / mop and water the houseplants. I really struggle to just sit around all day long when I’m sick. That’ll be it though as I don’t want to push myself too much.

    It’s a nice day. Good opportunity to repot some orchids, clean up the balcony and then go for a walk on the beach. 😊🌺🩴
