It is R's birthday on Monday (26! how did that happen?) so after M got home from work we met her at Woburn for a walk and to deliver her birthday presents. The deer in the Duke of Bedford's park were out in force today, with some large groups in the area where we were walking.
TG's first day back at school yesterday went OK. She was happy to see her friends, but found having to wear a mask in all her lessons uncomfortable - last term the rule was masks in corridors and a break time, but not during lessons - and complained that an extended tutor time first thing meant missing PE. Her latest growth spurt has meant she has overtaken a couple of friends who were always much taller than her, rather to their annoyance! I rather enjoyed the novelty of getting up and driving her there in the morning. It was nice to have a little bit of normal back.
A steady stream of packages are arriving for H as she gathers up stuff for her new home. They are now working towards a moving date of 31st March, which works out quite well as she doesn't have any work commitments that day, and will have the long Easter weekend to sort things out and get settled in.
I am doing a three week yoga "splits challenge", which is a mix of live and recorded classes. The idea is not so much to seriously aim at achieving the splits, but to loosen tight muscles and increase mobility. Last night's stretching class left me stiff and achy today, so I decided to have today as a rest day instead of tomorrow. No pain, no gain?

Pain is a sign to ease up 🙂 ... Happy Birthday to your girl! Crazy how the decades fly by ... Lovely deer photos — we had an adventure here over the weekend with some of our local deer falling through the ice on one of our city's lakes (we have several lakes, and hundreds of deer) — human hikers saw the deer go through the ice, and called the emergency phone line, who sent the ice/water rescue workers, who managed, with much hard work, to save the deer from drowning. ... Exciting news about the house being ready! That was a fast build!
