Hi everyone, How are you all doing? Keeping busy, safe and well we hope. We’re still at home entertaining ourselves. I think I mentioned that we’re doing this ‘Nike Training Class’ …it’s good but we’ve just had 3 days of Yoga and to be honest, Simon hates yoga, so has been doing a boxing workout on his Oculus and I’ve persevered with it, it’s really not our thing but hey, unless you try, you’ll never know 😀 So, with the keep fit, virtual boxing, weight training, baking and up-cycling, we’ve been filling our days very easily. We should be a little bit fitter when all of this has calmed down and things return to normal …whatever that is! Today I made a couple draw string bags from one single use plastic bag. It was fun and pretty easy to be honest, so that might be one to video ;-D
100% recycledLavender Soap ..love the mold
We’ve (Simon’s) been very good with making & planning most of our meals so we don’t have to go out. Tonight is treat night as we’re going to order takeaway! Babaloo, Thai food is on the menu and it’s going to be SPICY!!! Yearh!!! Love to all! XOXOX
We’ve been keeping ourselves pretty busy. I’m a late riser and need my beauty sleep so have been getting up late morning! Simon on the other hand wakes very early, so has done a days work by the time I surface (really, I’m not that bad 😁)
Simon’s made a couple of video’s with me, the ‘Star’ LOL making Wax wraps and Banana cake which we’ve posted on our Eco Koh Tao Facebook page to keep everyone amused. Check them out! The next one might be how to make handmade soap but you’ll have to wait and see 😀
After our workout
So for the last week, we’ve been doing a daily workout. The ‘Nike Training Club Application’ We are finding it fun (at times) but it’s pretty hard, especially in this heat and it’s using muscles that we don’t usually use. It’s certainly a way to get some exercise seeing there is no diving for the foreseeable future. I miss not cycling everyday. Feeling a little lazy to say the least. Yesterday was exciting, as we both ventured out of the house for the first time in ages. We needed to get some basic supplies. I got some meat and a couple of other bits whilst Simon got all the heavy essentials which is tough for me to carry on my pushbike It was very odd, The roads seemed empty and so so quiet. Almost everyone I passed were wearing face masks and then noticed a few idiots outside a hostel, sat shoulder to shoulder …Idiots!!!! Anyway, you’ll never guess who did I bump into, in the shop!
Shopping outfit
SIMON!! LOL 😁😁 Today, I did a little gardening, trying to use up all the seeds we had in the cupboard. Not sure whether anything will come of them but I thought I’d give them a go. I’ll keep you updated on their progress.
Hi everyone! So Simon and I have been in self isolation since 23rd March. We are well, the only threat that we face is each other. A real test for poor ole Simon having to put up with me 24/7 LOL Eco Koh Tao & Crystal Dive closed their doors on the 22nd March and all staff were advised to stay at home and to do self isolation. I don’t really understand as to why not all the dive schools on the island didn’t close as it’s just prolonging the issue. Even today there are a couple still operating …IDIOTS!!!!
