my sweet husband on yoga (2)

YogaMaster continues to muse on meditation, while ordinarily-flexible humans begin to shake and sweat.

"...and notice that Flexi-Anna is so focused that she can vacuum while planking (and meditating). Are you meditating? OMMMMM"

Husband planks successfully, but reaching for the vacuum is definitely a challenge.

"and we let thoughts drift out of our mind. OMMM"

Hey man, you're still sitting on that mat?

(& he still comes back to it every day 😍 )

my sweet husband on yoga:

-ps (can you have a pre-ps?) he does yoga EVERY day, it was a new year's resolution and he's over 600+ days in. He is epic.

Yoga Master sits on mat.
Incredibly bendy women surround him. "And now Flexi-Anna will demonstrate by wrapping her head around her leg"

Yoga Master sits on mat, smiling, "OMMMM...and Supple-Ella will place her knee behind her butt. OMMMM"

Husband looks toward his ankle and wonders about reaching for foot.

@Trussell this is a good toot. I hope the way ahead continues to be paved as you go forward. Feeling clarity (in any aspect of life) is a big thing.

@scottnesbitt he is an amazing artist and person. Truly inspirational. He has done some fantastic Q&A and is SO genuine in what he does. <3

@charlag hope the day has improved. Sending a smile from the UK!

I've been reading a student's draft chapters all weekend, and I just got to this (see screenshot below):

it made my day 🌸

*toot drafted late last night, but I waited for the student's permission to post it :)

@gamehawk keep at the explaining and hopefully she'll understand - as we know, every vote matters.

@clhendricksbc it's romanesco! We love it and get it when seasonably available :)

@Downes well, you're ahead already then. Do keep posting the pictures and mini-stories, they are great.

@Downes do you have a distance goal for before the snow comes? or just to enjoy and ride.

@Downes dang, that's a lot of cycling! Maybe you can un-tempt fate by carrying a spare spoke with you - like carrying an umbrella to make sure it doesn't rain :)

@modgethanc I'm going to take a photo - end of Feb. promise 🤣 I reckon it will last three months.

@qwazix they are sweet like wild strawberries (closest store variety I've found is Elsanta) but they have little tiny crunchy seeds like raspberries that crunch like passion fruit seeds. They are yummy!

@natecull imagine if a swathe of people who called themselves one thing, but acted as if another - for example were racist, or money focused, or self--serving (to the detriment of others), or or or looked back or even in the mirror and realised they should just love people and not judge them and all?

Wouldn't that be nice? I'd read the news on that day.

ps I'm not saying I'm without flaws, we all tend toward entropy & every day is a chance to DO something good. I gotta believe that.

@dadegroot I wonder when comes the point that you give up the day job to do this and run a bespoke business...or maybe you've already done that! :)

amazing work!

@Archbeth @dadegroot we get people who come from London to the pub for lunch and park on the aptly named 'Shore Road', and yes, there are clear signs.... but people just don't think it's real 'this road floods each tide. This was in March. I snapped it from the upstairs in the pub - my husband went downstairs to announce the car and sure enough... we did watch until 3 wheels were in the water, but had to say something! It comes in pretty fast.

@verity If I am ever in London, I'll message you. If you are ever on the south coast, there is an open invite for a walk :)

walking is the best.

@dadegroot I don't think so... It's a finger of the harbour, and is just very tidal. Goes up and down by 4-5 meters per day.

Cars regularly go under from unbelieving visitors ;)

this was filmed from the far right of my pic. Ice cream Dave is a legend. (he sells ice cream from his ice cream van- as his full time job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2QclcT6F-I
