Just a quick list this week:
- Saturday morning, I had breakfast with our running group. I walked while everyone else ran because I only walk/run every second day.
- I had a beach day.
- The girls also spent a large portion of Saturday at our place working on the puzzle.
- I’m now up to 4 min run with 1 min walk for thirty minutes on my rehab program—getting there!
- Last Sunday we got together with my family again for lunch. We arrived about midday and left at 6 pm, so another long lunch. Yes, we still had things to talk about, even after our long lunch the previous Saturday. The occasion was the completion of my sister and brother-in-law’s house renovation. Everyone bought some food with them; as usual, there was more than enough to eat. Dinner was not required on Sunday night. Lots of fun all around and the house renovation is fabulous. My sister made most of the choices and she did a great job.
- On one of my runs, I listened to this interesting podcast looking at alternatives to our current economic system where instead of production serving financial capital, it serves our social needs without overshooting the planetary boundaries: Doughnut Economics (this is a Christian podcast, but there was almost no specifically Christian content in this, just a look at what a more sustainable, just economics might look like)
- Outlander season 7 is now on Netflix here (I’m not sure how long it’s been available), so I watched a few episodes while G was in Adelaide this week.
- Our church has started a monthly prayer night on the third Wednesday. I went this week, and it was a good thing. There was only a short corporate prayer at the start, and then we joined together at the very end for a couple of minutes of sharing if we wanted. The rest of the hour is spent in prayer alone at various stations, or you can choose to pray with another person. It was a quiet oasis in my week.
- Some of the church property is taken up with a community garden. I went out there on Monday, it is so beautiful at the moment. The butterflies were in force, and there were even some ripe strawberries.
- Riley got a swim at the beach.
- E and his girlfriend popped over the other night between their trip to see her family in Warrnambool and E’s work trip to the Gold Coast. They left us a yummy dessert, which we’ve been eating for a few days now.
What are some good things in your week so far? I don’t always listen to something when I walk or run, but when I do, it is usually a podcast. Do you listen to something when you walk or run?
