I need more exercise!

This is not my bike, but I DO have a bike, hidden in a safe room (not in my flat) and I really need to get it out, pump the tyres with air, and start riding it around!

I saw a new Chiropractor today and had a really good consultation with him, followed my a much needed massage! Muscles too tight around my shoulders. I was told to get myself a pedometer and walk 10,000 steps a day. (Yeah, right). I got home with the intention of heading down to the Creek with G, but plans soon changed, and we ended up WALKING to one particular toy shop to look for... windmills! (Long story).

Got out of our building, and this is the first thing I saw, so, camera out and blip done. Walked along to the toy and bicycle shop only to find that after 30 years, it has become a handbags etc shop!!! Made some enquiries and were told where we could find the "bicycle" bit of the shop so ventured across there and I met up with the man who always checks my bike - for free! He has opened his own shop and I really hope he does well. The toy shop closing down just makes me realise how much things are changing as shop owners struggle to stay in business.

We didn't find the windmills, so headed back home via Indian sweet shop to get Diwali sweets for our laundry guys (they iron the linen). More changes. I've never seen the variety of sweets as they now have - different shapes and colours. Quite incredible.

As it is Diwali tomorrow, some kids were setting off fire crackers in the "garden" this evening. They were LOUD but I was so busy finishing off a calendar project, I didn't even look! The day started with an early meeting with Gs surgeon who wants to use her writing skills on his website. I've had so many blip opps today, should have done a collage.
