Claude – warm and stuffy week

I feel like I spend my time complainin8,000 steps, one-hour Feldenkrais classg about the weather! Couldn’t someone tell whoever organises all this or should I say disorganises it that average temperature like 25°C, with rain at night would just be perfect?
Today is particularly hot and stuffy, but as it is Sunday, I won’t complain too [...]

Claude – an afternoon off!

What a week! For the first time in all those weeks, I had a whole afternoon off. And took advantage of it! I went to see a great exhibition at Grand Palais: One picture may hide another.
On the walking front, it’s been a pretty good week too.
So here goes:
From Saturday June 13th to Friday June [...]

Claude – a rainy week

I was grateful I had taken my umbrella that day. When I got home, my trousers were soaked, so was my rucksack and some of of the stuff that was in my pockets. It was too rainy for a walk really, but I couldn’t face taking the métro home as it had been raining too [...]

Claude – walking and trying to get some rest

Had a long weekend this week, four days in a row and probably the last short week till July 10th. Which means I only “worked” three long days, getting home at 11pm twice.
What I find particularly difficult is having no schedule. When I worked, I knew what time I started and what time I stopped. [...]

Claude – keeping on walking

One of the things that never ceases to surprise me is that, as members of a jury, we spend hours on end sitting. And whenever there is a suspension, people will just collapse in chairs for the break duration! I just can’t do that any more.
I try to stand and move as much as possible.
Also, [...]

Claude – still managing to walk

Actually, I am relieved that I do manage quite a few steps on days when I am busy from 10am to late in the evening. What I do is I take along my daily dose of almonds, one banana and go walking and taking photos at lunch time. One hour’s walk, that clears my brain, [...]

Claude – sitting a lot, but still walking

As I mentioned last week, I have been called on jury duty. The good part is that I can still get some walking done, I get it done at lunch time and on the way back home. Of course, I have to remain seated for long sessions. I can’t tell you more about it, so [...]

Claude – two hectic weeks

I am sorry for not posting last week, although I see that apart Holly and Lia… I am not the only one to have good excuses.
I have been called for jury duty this next Monday and have been trying to get everything that had to be done over the last two weeks done.
So, the last [...]

Claude – two weeks without you

but two weeks with my pedometer! I had a great time in London, loads of things to catch up with when I came back, and a need to relax a bit too, which explains my being late in posting.
I’ve noticed that some of us have taken to just posting their average… I won’t do the [...]

Claude – back to cold weather

First, let me tell you that you won’t be seeing me around next week, as on April 1st, I’m off to London for a week. I might be able to keep in touch a bit through Blogging in Paris.
It’s been a really chilly week, but as long as it isn’t raining… or snowing… . Not [...]
