I regard my sea swimming as my health insurance, my personal policy for keeping well, warding off colds and general day to day illnesses. However, I'm guilty of ignoring my own warnings of "running on low" that I've been talking about on the blog recently. Some 24 hours after this was taken I was hit by a tummy bug which felled me and is still taking its toll now. Instead of the planned fitness regime for my month off, I'm laid low, sipping re-hydration drinks in between trips to the bathroom. No longer fit, healthy and robust, I'm weak as a kitten and sweating like no lady should. I just wanted to touch base with my loyal readers so that you don't think I've forgotten you. I'll be back when I've recovered. In the meantime, here's a round up of the daily walking that Fiona and I have been doing of late - this scenic circle of the island is a wonderful dose of sights and sounds to aid our mental well-being.
Thanks for joining me. I'll be back soon. Lots of love to you!

Oh dear, take care, Anna! I've been guilty of burning the candle at both ends too, and it can end up taking its toll on one's body. Be good to yourself and take your time to recover properly.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful pictures of your island - it's so beautiful there!
Hi Sheila and thanks for the kind words. I'm on day 7 of gastric flu now and am slowly improving. It's a salutary lesson for me. Invincible? Maybe not!
DeleteOh Anna,
ReplyDeleteDo take time to recover your strength and well being.
Thank you for taking the time to post these beautiful pictures; what peace and tranquility to enjoy every day.

DeleteI'm so sorry to hear you have been so ill! I had that at the beginning of lockdown- I think after 3 months of constant rehearsals- I was so rundown and I'd had awful Tonsillitis at the end of January which I hadn't spent enough time at home after- I only had 2 days off as I HAD to teach my choir the songs for the Royal Albert Hall concert we were doing- I only had 5 weeks to teach them all these long songs so I went back but I shouldn't have!
ReplyDeleteStay safe.x
Oh golly Kezzie - what a lot of commitment you have to give in your job! The gig at the Royal Albert Hall sounds amazing though...
DeleteHope you've managing to find a bit of a better balance now. That's what I'm aiming for x
So brave! I've been reading how beneficial sea swimming is for the health and really should try it! Trouble is I'm not the most confident swimmer so will stick to dancing and the gym (when I can). Thanks for sharing Hun. xx Jacqui
ReplyDeleteCheers Jacqui. I suppose we all have to play to our own strengths, don't we x
