Dear Travellers

The Sakhalin Islands are truly spectacular. We got to see the rare Northern fur seals, endangered Western gray whales and Lucca and Trafford in action being chased by a bear :D :D

We are back on the steamer and the Sakhalin seafood is sizzling on the BBQ. It's 70's night and Kool and the Gang are singing Jungle Boogie. Will Smith, Daniel, Idris, George and Brad are serving your favourite cocktails. Will is showing me how to make the perfect pina colada :D

I think I overdid it with the dancing last night. My Fizzy is giving me a foot massage. Today I clocked up 7.65kms. Very pleased with that.

Happy travels everyone 😊😊😊

To make up for a morning of lounging round the house i went for a walk this evening and clocked up 12k. I hope that means I can leave the boat for a day trip soon?

Ah Lizzy- what an amazing trip you are managing for us! Thank you! I'm feeling tired and happy after my birthday weekend even though it involved over indulging on food and even alcohol, I had a lovely time with family which is the main thing, and saw my beautiful granddaughter smile, always ,magical 😀... However today I've been feeling as if the virus which several family members have is beginning to get going in me as well, so a bit fed up, and haven't really exerted myself... So I suspect tomorow I won't like it when the scales confirm my overindulgence... 4.7km from me today, sorry- weekends are supposed to be when we do more!!!

Oh rainshine! I can't believe you've succumbed to the monster bug too! That's such a shame after you had such a lovely weekend :(

Don't be sorry, you're K's are more than adequate, just take care of yourself and fingers crossed you get better soon :)

The steamer just gets better and what a fantastic day we have had.

Better than can be said for the horrible wet and windy weather here. It seems relentless just now. I'm certainly getting my money's worth out of my wellies!

Today's two soggy dog walks plus pottering about the house clocked up 11983 steps, 8kms. Itching to get a week of solid 10's but the weather does make the going hard.

Off now to enjoy the seafood and 70's disco. Might catch a glimpse of Daniel 😍

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Bu-dog

Do you have shorter strides than average Bu-dog, because my conversion of your steps, is 8.99K's :)

Have fun at the disco! ;)

Bu-dog profile image
Bu-dog in reply to moreless

Hi Moreless, I've set my stride at 67cms. Is this correct?

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Bu-dog

Have you measured it, or did you hazard a guess? Liz has estimated the average stride to be 75cms. :)

Bu-dog profile image
Bu-dog in reply to moreless

I haven't measured it. I googled it and a walking site I'm sure said 67 for women and 71 for men. I'll double check. I'd hate to think I'm cheating myself lol x

Bu-dog profile image
Bu-dog in reply to Bu-dog

The site reckons 70cms for women and 78cms for men. My height is 162 cms X 0.413 = 66.90 rounded to 67cms

I think I will measure it properly tomorrow. Thanks for pointing it out 😘

Hi

18.8km for me Sunday.

Well I didnt get out for that run last night so clocked up 5.2 kms yesterday. Hoping the weather calms enough for me to do my couch to 5k run this evening.

Not to worry lynalla, we'll keep our fingers crossed for you today :)

Sunday I did 3.76k, I haven't been well this week so I have been forgetting to post :( Saturday was 4.27k and Friday was 5.84k. I'm not sure if I posted Thursday so that was 4.24.

Moreless hope that's all you need as I think I posted Wednesday's! Hopefully I'll be better this week.

Hi moreless

Many thanks for your message. Sorry for being off the radar - I have been down to Wales for my mothers funeral. Not as distressing as it sounds. She was 92 and had been deteriorating slowly for 12 months, more sad that devastating. She had a lovely funeral and it was great to meet my brother, sister and our families. Tomorrow is a kick start for me and I'll start weighing myself again!

Your kindness is much appreciated.

Best wishes from a sunny and snow clad Falkirk

Steve

I'm so sorry to hear your news Steve, it's always sad to lose a mum. I'm glad though that she had a lovely funeral and that you were reunited with your siblings and their families.

Monday morning weigh-in, best time of the week! :D

Here's to a good week :)

25298 steps or 18.3k walking / moving about yesterday. Also a 32.08k bike ride which is my longest ride to date, I think. So a total of 50.38k but I'll be having a rest day today!

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Lexi_1812

Holy mackerel Lexi! I was impressed with Ed doing 50, but you've managed to beat that! WTG you! I'm not surprised you intend having a rest day today! :)

I borrowed a step counter as I was doing some house clearing and I went to a ceilidh in the evening. I did 1.2km yesterday.

When I was out yesterday, I felt as if I needed stabilisers! :o

That was a great number Mrscaw, I hope you're off to make the most of that sunshine, as it's as rare as hen's teeth at the moment :)
