Setting myself Targets!

Visible to anyone in the world

Trying to build my strength back up after Covid 19 Virus. I set myself some small targets for the week ahead.

1)  Exercises at home using the resistance bands working especially on arms, they feel the most weakest after covid.

2) House work which includes brushing all the downstairs floors, kitchen, living room, bathroom (all linos) and the white painted stair case.

3)  A walk - around the village at a steady pace. Starting at the main car park just outside village. Place some recycling in the  large bins, usually 2 big  bags full. Continue the main road. Pass by the large park but avoid going through it, as it is still quite water logged!  

On through the cemetery footpath on the opposite side of the road, on to the industrial units selling animal feeds, on the other side of cemetery and follow the small road down into the new estate. Climb up a steep incline, this is particularly good for the leg muscles! 

This brings me up to the outer footpath of the village. From here 5 minutes to the Health centre, past the  co-op supermarket and library, down the lane and into the market place, stop for a breather on the wooden bench! 

A five minute walk past all the shops, on to the large Anglican church at the corner, then turn right into my little road.

 It is a medium sized walk, but It is not too taxing and I need to start small, then gradually build up my strength. I aim ro do this for a couple of weeks, it will be the start of my road to recovery from covid19.

As far as studying goes, I am currently on a study break, due to ill health (family's and my own! )  Keeping my skills sharp still reading French  and English literature. As well as watching french films the news.consolidating what I have learnt. Hopefully this will keep the brain fog away!
