Lia – Clean Slate
Oh, dear ElderExercisers please forgive the two weeks silence. I’ve been visiting family in Canada. We spent sometime in Montreal and Toronto. My walking schedule was fine; I managed to do between 5,000 and 8,000 steps every day, and most were above 7,000 steps. Many days, with the help of my sister’s and her partner’s [...]

Sara: It’s getting colder here…
Hi, everyone, we have had some near-freezing temperatures overnight during the last week, then some lovely Indian summer. Work continues to be rather continuous but I was fortunate to be able to have two days off in a row, today and yesterday, so I feel somewhat restored.
