Home gym

One of the downsides of working from home is that there is very little separation between my work and my relaxation and fitness spaces. As I mentioned yesterday, just getting into fitness gear for a workout can be impossible because you get tied up at the “office” and don’t leave yourself enough time to change. It happened again today, but I dressed in anticipation that this might be an issue so I was slightly better prepared for the transition. All I had time to do was switch from bedroom slippers to my ballet slippers and pull out a dining room chair to use as my barre. I ended up doing an advanced dance class, which was hard work, but also fun because I got to see people I used to dance with and rarely see any more. Here’s a view of my “dance studio”.

Afterwards, I took time out to watch a movie (The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society - I had loved the book so this was a great find). While I watched, I worked on my silly calligraphy and illumination project. Since tonight’s work was on preparing the illuminations with watercolour pencils, that’s a fancy way of saying I coloured.
