It has suddenly turn into winter here, I caught a cold which I hope to cure by tomorrow to be able to enjoy my gym class. Other than that it will be just editing photos and catching up with friends. I hope you are not working over weekend, Mark.

Still on my ‘list’ 🙂 Reminds me of the bridge at Avignon. Not been there either. 🙂
How are you settling back into life, Paula?LikeLike

Hi Jo, I am a bit overwhelmed with all the backlog at work, and touched that so many co-workers needed me – makes me think I won’t lose my job any time soon :D. Both hubby and I suffered a tremendous temperature shock and are with cold now, but I plan to be well by tomorrow morning – to many things to do to be lying around. How are you?

That’s a good feeling- to have been missed and needed. Family crisis ongoing with my daughter which I’m powerless to help with but otherwise fine. Get well again soon. (incidentally- have you been nominated for the 5 photos/5 stories challenge, and would you want to be?) Hugs, Paula!

No, no, I don’t want to – it would be flattering and you are the only one to think of nominating me so big thanks – I am a bit overwhelmed with my chores now. What’s going on with Lisa? I hope it is not the health issue? I won’t pry, but you got me worried.

When you say a sandy day, are you implying that you were in a sand storm, or just desert as the one you sent me? 😀 What do they use as a strong drink over there?
LikeLike

No storm at all, so boring lazy wind – but hot… 😀
A kind of grappa or brandy – the fruits from the date palms tastes amazing this way… 😀

Date grappa! I only had date liquor once- soft staff with less than 30% alcohol.

I thought there was a limit to alcoholic beverages of 40%. I was once at a party where they served 50% smirnoff – I don’t want to repeat that.
LikeLike

Black Smirnoff is 80 – some countries have limits not all – the home made stuff in Norway sometimes close to 90 – we have to know not drink to much and not to fast – we have to remember to enjoy it… 😀

Have heard about it – but I love the taste of coffee – was two years old when I tasted it first time… 🙂
I know yoga is great – but too little movement for a guy like me, so I have my black mountainbike – it do the same the sweaty way… 🙂

I started both alcohol and coffee when I was three 😛 Sweat is great but one needs to stretch and breathe slowly also. 🙂
LikeLike
-
You are right about that – “after-biking” is always to remember to stretch – and most mountain bikers do breath slowly otherwise they go ‘dead’ very fast.

What do you do in winter when you can’t bike? Do you ski or do stationary bike?
LikeLike

Stationary bike – no way… 😀
Kaysersberg in Alsace is close to places for ski or snowboard – I’m not a fanatic but loves good food and wine – but still want to be the one who doesn’t get out of breath on the stairs – that’s the reason why have my bikes and my snowboard… 🙂
