A day off. Easy to do just nothing. But I did my exercise and I am rather tired now. I have my watch that keeps track of me. I do not know if it shows correct information, but anyway, it is good company. And also, a little diary so I remember my training. Of course I miss sweetie and cutie. Normally, when I run, I go for walks afterwards with them, and they just love that. They just hate to wait for me.

I do some spinning now, and now when I have moved, I am a closer to work. I have no excuse of not going by bicycle. It is very nice to listen to music when doing exercise, and music motivates. Keeps my heart beat. Today I decided that I need to measure my maximum heart rate. Will find somebody who will help me with that. So I can go for more accurate pulse rate zones.

Yes, good music motivates. Sharing some this Friday. Little scary movie, but the music is good.

I had to see some news this evening, and there was a program about the poisoning of Navalny. He has said “I am more dangerous dead than alive” in previous interviews. It really is a true crime story to follow. A live Agatha Christie. She used poison as a cause of death for more than 30 of her characters. Cyanide, arsenic, strychnine and digitalis were some of her poisons. Navalny is alive, and he sent a photo on Instagram with his family.

I do not know why, maybe it is because of Navalny. I remembered a photo of Fanny that I have kept for years in my bag that I carry every day. This is very private and personal. But I share with you. Dear readers. I forget it for years, and then I suddenly remember this photo and I have a look. I have no answer to why I have kept it. It is from when I studied in Uppsala. I had time off and I went to the countryside to study and also to spend some time with puppies. This is Fanny on the photo. She was a hunting dog that I have trained. Beautiful black and white. I love dogs.

I have been rather bad at doing stretching after exercise. Especially now during Corona. This evening I went for an hour with just focus on core and stretch. Sometimes that is good. To know that you don’t have to achieve anything particular. Only be there. No demands like having the pulse for more than 160 beats per minutes. Yoga, pilates, core. It is rewarding and relaxing. By the way, the Guardian now says that Alexei Navalny can breathe independently.

Ending this evening by sharing a beautiful song. In my diary.

My life is very much day by day. No plans. I did a few hours of training this weekend and that keeps me at a good energy level. Of course I feel sad that I cannot travel, but there will be a time for that. The Corona battle is here and now. And I fight every day. I wash my hands. I keep distance. And I watch movies in the evenings in quarantine. Surprisingly, I have some brownies left. I am preparing for autumn. Still do not want to change clothes for autumn, but soon I have to. Sharing Bridget Jones’s view of life. Might cheer you up a bit!
