So without even trying I have managed to cross four things off my list. I need to get that many crossed off pretty much every month to clear my list by my next birthday.

Some of these things are going to be a lot easier than others I can see. I need to lose some more weight before I start the C25K just as a favour to my knees. Cooking new healthier recipes should help with those goals. 

We went to the resort island of Sentosa a few times in the last couple of weeks and we grabbed a deal they had for visiting the Butterfly Park and the Underwater World. As part of that deal  they included a ten minute fish spa. Inside they had two big ponds full of the cleaning fish. There was one pool with smaller fish and lots of people and one pool with bigger fish and no one. We decided to brave the bigger fish and we may have made a tactical error. They were pretty aggressive and it was pretty tickly.Tet barely kept his feet in the water but I did find afterwards that my feet were a lot softer and smoother.

As you can see they loved my feet!

I have been caught walking in the rain twice in the past couple of weeks. We certainly have the climate for it in Singapore as even in the cooler rainy season the temperature never drops much below 25 degrees C.

I am loving my new scrapbook class Cover to Cover and I am really inspired to make better design decisions with my albums.

Finally, I have signed up for a 30 days of Curvy Yoga class to do at home. I have tried the routine once and I did find it good up to about the halfway point where the filming makes it hard to actually follow the pose. I will try again tomorrow. I would prefer to do a real life class but I find Yoga Studios and the lithe, thin practitioners more than a little intimidating.

I hope everyone is having a great week.
