What am I doing now?

Home Routine now

Lhom, the family barista, always makes me his delicious coffee in the morning.

 

For those who are interested, I have changed my habits and no longer eat my famous oatmeal in the morning or a cheese muffin with my coffee. I am experimenting with the principles of the glucose goddess and enjoying toast with nut butter. Then I finish with a bowl of homemade fruit salad or chia and fruit pudding.

The star of the season

The optometrist in me is proud of her carrot harvest!

Blog

I invite you to follow me:

Thank you for reading me on Medium.com

I published one in The Writing Cooperative. Writing in English on Medium.com allows me to challenge myself by doing an intellectual exercise that I find difficult!

You are invited to have a look at my Instagram

I don’t visit the X network (Twitter) much, but I still have an account there:

Season activities

Walking for an hour a day is a habit I acquired during the pandemic and one I’m trying to maintain.

I also do muscle-strengthening exercises because I think that is important. So, I decided to do them three times a week. One day for the arms, one for the legs and one for the abs. Julie Baird’s exercises are excellent for my back, even though I am not one of her target clients!

The biking season has just come to an end. Here’s a photo with some of our biking friends.

Writing

New for June 2023 is my newsletter on Substack. I invite you to subscribe.

My blog is now bilingual. From time to time, you will see an article in English.

In December 2024, I published a small collection of short stories in French. Here’s the link if you’d like to encourage me and get your hands on it.

This link is not affiliated, but since I am the author, I will receive a fee.

In November 2022, I decided to participate in NaNoWriMo. So, I dug out the first draft of a novel I wrote several years ago from the dusty depths of my drawers. I am reworking it using Scrivener software. I still hope to turn it into a book!
