I said goodbye to my husband yesterday as he flew back to the Middle East to work. We had a month together and it was great - one of our best times and ten days in The New Forest and Dorset was relaxing. Just what we both needed.

Now I am looking to restart my routine; walking my Dachshund, getting back in touch with friends for a cuppa and a catch up. Also, starting a fitness regime - nothing too difficult - maybe a daily swim. I have a stint with my personal trainer on Thursday for 30 minutes and my stretch and balance class, although off for the summer holidays, is happening some mornings and some evenings until we get back together in September.

So I will be busy which is good. Then there is the daily challenge of Sudoku, Codeword and the daily crossword. This involves brain power and sitting down for a while which isn't so good.

So, I need to do more - except I think I'm doing enough - for now. I can build on my efforts and, if I feel up to it, do more.

One step at a time.
