Delicious Christmas dinner, a feast.
Happily watching Home Alone movies with family.
Heavy snowing outside the window.
Santa’s elves are working hard.
Rudolph’s nose is shining in the sky.
Presents are in our stockings.
Today, Wednesday 1st of September, is Random Act of Kindness (RAK) Day.
What is the definition of kindness: "the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate." (Google definition)
So far today I have done 3 RAK tasks.
What have you done for RAK day?
Lockdown can be hard. It can be very hard. In fact, sometimes it suppresses the urge to do any physical activities! However, we all know that physical exercise (walking, jogging, biking, hiking etc) helps our happy hormones burst into our system and make us feel a whole lot better.
I wanted to try something new. Well, I suppose it is kind of a new. It's a sport I haven't done for years! (and I mean YEARS!!)
Biking. One of my friends offers to loan her bike to me during lockdown. I've been carrying an injury since I fell on the Tennis Court in March and it hasn't fully recovered and now I find running rather challenges. Biking is an exercise that can be softer on the knees and that is exactly what is needed.
Here are the two bike rides I have done so far. I also wore my heartrate monitor to see which "zones" I have been working in. Being in the yellow zone makes me happy because I know I have been working out.
I would love to see your fitness activities shared on your Blog.
If you know me...I love food! If you don't know me...I love food!
Check out my lockdown creations so far. I use my own recipes and often "add things" while I'm cooking. I love spicy Mexican food. What is your favourite cuisine and why?
I hope this gives you some inspiration to get into the kitchen and cook up something delicious.

Fruit Tree Planting and Growing.
What's been happening with our fruit trees and vegetable garden?
When fruit trees are young, we need to ensure that the fruit growing on the trees is cut off so that we allow the trees to focus on going tall and growing strong roots. One tree has grown very little but another tree has grown 26cm. The way we can tell this is by looking for the fresh growth.
All our 14 trees are going very well. We are very proud of our garden.
In the picture to the left you can see the new, fresh growth on the apple tree.
Come and have a look at our Garden. Have a walk round the gardens to see what you can spot.
Why are bees important in our garden?
Bees are the best pollinators in the garden. Bees help with cross-pollination and help produce more seeds. More seeds = more plants!
Mary is very knowledgeable and is helping us to provide our fruit trees with the best possible future. We are hoping for lots of fruits in the next couple of years for our tamariki.
We have been practicing how to insert are chart into a Google Sheet. Do you know how to do it?
