I went to the new to me yoga class on Monday morning and quite enjoyed it. I was a little concerned going in to see a lot of ladies walking in with their own mats, but the lady taking payment was reassuring that like the Thursday class, all equipment was provided, and it was.

It was a bigger class than the other I go to, so I ended up in a spot in the middle of the hall which seemed very exposing, but a lovely woman had gathered all I needed when I arrived and I was given a very nice welcome. So, I'll be back.

Yesterday the plan was to visit Auntie Irene, picking Kayleigh up and then getting Bodhi from school. It's been far too long since we've seen my aunt so it was great to go there and hug the stuffing out of her. As always she over catered, including an eton mess for afters, and we stayed much later than planned, especially as it was a school night.

After finally getting home about nine I was surprised to see a small envelope with 'Sweeeets' written on and a sheet of paper folded up with 'card' written on had been put through the door. Turns out the little girl who lives next door had wanted to make and send a card to 'her most favourite neighbours ever!' and share her favourite chew sweets. So, that was a nice surprise to end a good visit.

Kayleigh and Lucy have been teaching Bodhi what to do if Kayleigh has another seizure and Bodhi's with her alone.

Knowing that I was rather concerned to get a video call from Kayleigh's phone that hung up, then, seconds later a voice note with a lot of silence at first, followed by Bodhi saying 'I hope you can hear me Auntie Terri, I want you to play with me please'

So on one hand, it's good to know B knows how to get in touch with me if needed, but I think she needs to work on her definition of needed because man, talk about heart in the mouth moments.

It was a craft fair yesterday, and I wish I could say it went well profit wise, but sadly not. But,we made the table money and enough to get some wax melts from the stall that was directly in my line of sight, so really, how was I supposed to resist?

Now I need to make tea, then it's bath book and Strictly result show time. I was in Lush earlier as it's Kayleigh's birthday tomorrow so I was getting her some goodies, and they gave two freebie pots of body scub and a face mask. I'm going to have the smoothest skin and smell delicious

And just because ( the kittens )

Yoga was this morning, with a focus on stretches for the hips. One move I found really hard as it included sitting back on my heels, so I ended up sitting back on a pile of five yoga bricks as provided by Elaine the instructor, and you know what? It was fine, no one said a word about me needing a tower block worth of adaptions and I still got my stretch in.

After class I was talking to Elaine and she told me about another yoga class she teaches on a Monday at the same venue. She said it was along the same lines as the one today and while it's not free, it only costs £4 a session so guess where I'm going on Monday morning?

I could have gone to the other free class but it's held at 5:30 and while that wouldn't be an issue in the summer months, I don't fancy walking through the churchyard in the dark evenings. Especially so as the church opens onto the place where the idiot gangs of teens find it fun to throw stuff at the passing buses.

Yesterday was weight management class ( cut for length )

Kayleigh had her appointment on Tuesday, and it didn't go that well for her ( again cut for length )

It's only been... okay, I don't want to think how long.

We are preparing to take the beta update page and the beta inbox out of beta with the next code release. We don't have an exact date yet, but this is your last chance to tell us about problems!

To enable the beta versions: go to Beta Features and enable the "new Create Entries" beta test for the new update page and the "New Inbox Page" for the, well, new inbox page.

If this is your first time using the beta update page: nearly everything on it can be adjusted, moved, or removed to some degree. The upper right side of the update form has a " ⚙️ Rearrange Panels" link.

Not every panel is enabled by default! If you don't see something you're used to finding, look in the disabled panels. While in Rearrange mode, you can enable or disable panels, drag them to whatever position you want, and generally customize it to your heart's content.

Once we push the button and switch to the new update and inbox pages for everyone, we cannot keep the old ones available. We are so close to finishing the decade-long "get rid of the undocumented custom templating language from 1996 that no one else uses" modernization project that's been sapping our collective will to live that we can taste it, and we can't convert the old update page and the updated inbox page is the converted version. This is your last chance to alert us of problems. If you let us know after the switch goes live, we'll still fix it, but we can't guarantee how fast. Prevent future problems and test drive them now!
