Nah... I take about an hour, usually. Took an extra quarter hour
today. I try to do this two or three times a week. Swimming and
walking are the only exercise I'll do voluntarily, and they help to keep
me out of a wheelchair. I have fibromyalgia and something complex and
Latin wrong with my knees which translates as 'wobbly kneecaps', so I
HAVE to exercise and stay supple and try to keep the weight down, and
keep the muscles up the front of my thighs strong. It's painful, but
less so than giving in and ending up unable to move at all.

Sandwich. In my case, wholemeal bread with no butter spread on it.

We made a HUUUUUGE vat of fruit salad with two colours of cherries,
strawberries, a small pineapple, half a Galia melon, a mango, apple,
banana, grapes, orange, and fresh orange juice as the 'syrup'. While we
ate lots, there's plenty left for both breakfast AND dinner tomorrow...
My Giant Mutant Ninja Teenager is a dab hand with a sharp knife in the
kitchen and likes cooking.

Me too! I'm never totally free of pain, and any extra tends to make me
really miserable and ANGRY. Especially when it's caused by doing
someting so stupid and so minor!
The sewing was good. I have hat toiles to make tomorrow, and a pattern
for some Regency pantalets...
