Croatia and the Adriatic
As promised, here’s a post about our trip to Croatia and time bobbing on a boat in the Adriatic Sea. For some years now, Croatia has been a highly recommended destination for travel thanks to the Game of Thrones being filmed there and its latest entry into the European Union. Its clear waters and fairly…

We’re on a boat!
This might be the only post until next week as we are currently on vacation on a boat in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia. We drove from our house to Bari on the east coast of Italy, which is about six hours away, caught an 8-hr ferry to Dubrovnik and stayed one…

Another Little Escape
It’s been a little quiet here the last week or so as I was with guests, then headed to France for a few days to see friends and enjoy the sea. There is something different in the vibe and energy with those in the Var, where I go to visit. Perhaps, it is the closeness…

A Little Escape
I’ve been in the marvelously cooler UK for the past five days. So much of my mental state has shifted in this time, just by being in the lower temperatures. What was I doing in the UK you ask? Where did I go, you want to know? Let me sum up, then. I went to…

On the way to 108
So, today I finished 70 sun salutations for Day 16 of my 28-day challenge to build up to 108 in one go. I wrote when I was starting it two weeks ago. When I woke up this morning, I was feeling keen. I thought to myself that it’s only another 38 rounds to the full…

Importance of Fluidity
As someone who is a lover of planning and a general stickler for organizing, I amaze myself when I can be fluid – if I may toot my own horn. 😝 While we were gone, Peanut had to get a surgical procedure done to release a growing abscess. Our sitters were stars in helping out…

28 Days to 108 Sun Salutations
So, I needed something to prepare myself for an online yoga class that I have agreed to teach *live* weekly. I must have been feeling weak in my desire to do something a bit more meaningful when I agreed to do it. 🤪 In any case, to ensure that my ankle is up for it…

A Bit of Holiday in Western France
Although our lives are admittedly in the realm of “every day is a holiday”, we did take a week to really be on holiday. M has always wanted to surf in the Atlantic, so we headed that direction from our place in the Var, France. To break up the journey a bit, we revisited a…

Start of Summer Reading
One of the best parts of beach days is the uninterrupted reading time. Since we have been on the Atlantic Ocean seaside, which is famous/popular for surfing and jumping waves, I have been enjoying time on the sand in the sun. Being more of a land-lover keeps me well away from the waves that I…
