Today is Easter Sunday. I’ve just come back inside after doing the OW exercises with my mum. She’s getting much better at these. I particularly noticed that she puts less of her body weight on me when I help her do her lunges. She’s faster at the initial jog and the skipping although she still complains about some aspects and says she can’t do it but I don’t let her off.
After yesterday’s post I did not do any exercise – it was good to have a day off but I ached even more this morning. Yesterday afternoon was spent lying in the garden under the shade of the tress talking to Lana. I also practiced my passing technique which has really improved in the last few weeks. My focus has been on pushing the ball from my hip with my hand rounding as it follows through. The improvement has come by imaging this action as a punch. Slowly but surely I’m getting much more power behind the ball (as is Lana).
Last night we had a mini barbecue in the walled garden. Nick had marinated some chicken strips, Lana made 3 salads and my mum brought out some new potatoes. I got an early night but haven’t been sleeping that well although I have been having a lot of dreams so I must be getting good REM sleep.
I’ve taken a 1/4 of the refrigerated medicine and I’m looking forward to spending the day in the garden, relaxing.
