Today was the first day of my ‘new life’. I need to get into a routine otherwise time will slip through my fingers. The mornings will be interesting. I realized last week when G told me how me what he typically did every morning before he goes to work. He doesn’t leave for work until after 10am. He has had a routine and now I will interrupt it. It was his time to use the computer. Of course, I want to get on the computer to check out what has happened overnight on Slow Travel. We will work it out.

One goal is to get into an exercise routine. I need to work on my core strength. Long long ago, I did Jazzercise. I love the dance routines and the music. So I looked up the local classes and went to my first session today. It was great but hard. I am so out of shape. This will be good for me. G suggested that I go for a walk/run in the morning. I will do that tomorrow morning. I’m also thinking about doing a swim when it gets warmer.

I also made the No Knead Bread developed by Zoë François from the book “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day”. They had been raving about it on Slow Travel. I thought this would be perfect to do while I had time. It is so easy and so good. I highly recommend viewing this video on making the bread. I only made one loaf so there are at least 3 more to make from the one batch. The crust is amazing. The flavor isn’t a good as local artisan breads but it is still good. I’m looking forward to the next loaf. It should be a bit less yeasty which will be good. I hope to have pictures next time.
