I've just bought a skipping rope ..... to work on health and fitness.  

I realised straight away that I had little idea about how to use it.  Youtube!  Sure enough there's a very good video about skipping for a beginner.

The first step is to bounce on my toes in time with music ..... and straight away I found that I will have to work at this first step!! Maybe stay on step one for a while!  My thighs can feel it straight away. 

Phew!  I haven't even got through one song!  A couple of bars of the music is enough for now.

.... but I can feel that it will be good for me .... and it's going to be addictive.

Dogs are wonderful. 

Today I was reading of a famous person succumbing to cancer..... and I am so thankful for the sequence of coincidences that have meant that my cancers have been found in the very early stages...... and this process has ensured that I don't have any hidden nasties! 

Today is Father's day and I'm grateful for having such a wonderful family.

Kaylia has obviously been enjoying the dance sessions at Sassy Ability.....

She is very excited today.  She has arrived home "on top of the world".

I've just finished explaining something to Kaylia..... and it occurred to me that her understanding of what I was saying was really good. .... and these days her speech is improving.  Her weekly speech therapy sessions concentrate on sounds..... and I make a point to praise Kaylia when she speaks clearly. The frequency of the occasion is pleasing.

Wow... there's a name for it!

This is such a common issue... especially as we get older. 

I've been trying a few changes to the engine coolant system on the Landrover..... I've added and extra coolant tank and plumbed it in.  I drove up to Butler today and the engine running temperature behaved much better. It sits around 75-80°.  (details for those readers that are so inclined)

Life goes on..... the gap between the blog posts is an indicator of the days cruising by.

Isn't this really special? 

Our trip to Albany in October is arranged for 16th to 19th.  Kaylia is looking forward to lots of op shops!
