Marley

I finished this cross-stitch this evening.  It is a gift for a friend who's dog passed away a couple of months ago.  Marley was one of Pickle's friend and also 15.  Pickle didn't like most other dogs but these two got on as they tended to just ignore each other and walk in company together rather than trying to play.   I hope she likes it when I give it to her.

I spent most the day working on this, proof that my eyes are much better!  

It was raining so I didn't walk to school, so before lunch I did 20 minutes walking on the treadmill.  I did 10 minutes walking forwards, then 5 minutes backwards walking, slowly, and then 5 minutes forwards again.  I listened to a Michael Mosely radio show a few weeks back that claimed backwards walking is good for the mind and body as its working different muscle groups.  It's harder than I thought and a bit of a novelty to try!  I don't think I will try it outside though...

Thank you for the warm welcome back.  I will catch up on blips and journals very soon.
