Tai Chi, and all.

I had my second Tai Chi class today and really enjoyed it. I learnt a very short 'block' and found that it was really relaxing , almost mindless, just focusing on the movements. Instructor is away for two weeks and I will be happy to return.


Otherwise it hasn't been the best of weeks. I started some new medication on Friday and while it helps, the side effects are not nice. Apparently you either tolerate this or not. I shall give it a fair trial in the hope the side effects settle down.


I have a new toy! A hand operated Singer sewing machine. My electric one just ran away with me but this one is just like I remember from school. Feel much more like getting back into making things now I control the machine and not it controlling me.


The garden is looking better too. The old man has finally removed the fishing weights he had dumped there and I have been getting things straight again. I planted seeds for dwarf runner beans and courgettes. My normal runner beans are looking good and my carrots are beginning to look like they are coming up too. Don't think I will grow strawberries this year, to much effort for a small return. I plan to get going in earnest at the end of the week when all chances of frost will be past.
