Early this morning the orchid posed against her outdoor friends.
Handsome Son came over in the afternoon and we had newly baked chocolate walnut cake and tea for his early birthday. Also a card I drew for him and a check. And the highlight, a hummingbird, first in two years showed up, for a few minutes.
Then he went off to a concert and I tuned into an online yoga session from AARP. Nice instructor, who had got into bridge pose halfway through the session, suddenly froze!
At first I thought she was overdoing the time until I realized the screen was frozen. Chat went wild with questions and concerns and I suggested everyone could feel free to get out of bridge pose before they locked up that way..
Then I abandoned it no sign of fixing, and joined other friends in an online audio pod.
Very tired today after recent exertions. So this is an abbreviated post. Happy day everyone, eat cake. Advice from
The frozen stream with viewers remaining in position is quite amusing.
ReplyDeleteShould I know who Madame Floof is?
She's an internet cat, but she's a bit like one I used to have long ago.
DeleteSG needs to bake a cake. It’s been too long. When you said she froze, I imagined her joints locking up live on screen. Good advice you gave the rest.
ReplyDeleteShe was fine, but I wondered about her viewers.
DeleteI wonder how long it took for everyone to realise that the screen had frozen - how funny.
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty funny, imagining people all over the country waiting to get out of bridge pose!
DeleteAnd I wonder how long it was before the instructor tealized no one was with her.
DeleteAck! Frozen screens!
ReplyDeleteIt is a hazard of Zoom. And AARP is not known for techie skills. But at least they had the sound working this time.
DeleteHappy anniversary of being Handsome Son's mother! Catching up on a few days in one here. Sounds like a very busy week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wishes! Yes pretty busy.
DeleteBridge is not a pose one would want to get stuck in. Happy early birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteI hoped everyone realized and got out of it. The audience was all older people.
DeleteIt became necessary to abridge the bridge pose.
ReplyDeleteOh that cake does sound delicious. Too bad about the yoga video. Yes, rest is definitely the balance of doing.
ReplyDeleteSee after Debra for your answer. Blogger inserted her comment in the middle.
Delete"Frozen in Bridge Pose" -- good title for a short story or something. Horror story, of course.
ReplyDeleteIt would fit into a Mrs pargeter mystery pretty well.
DeleteHalf the cake went home with him. And we'd made inroads anyway so I was left with only a couple of pieces. I'd call that a success.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Handsome Son! Hope he has a fabulous year! How quickly they grow up!
ReplyDeleteRest and relax - you have had several busy, busy weeks!
Busy and stressful. My legs are definitely letting me know how they feel.
Delete"Eat cake" is always good advice! Glad you didn't hold that Bridge pose too long!
ReplyDeleteI know AARP and their tech abilities too well for that. Well meaning but they need a kid to set it up.
DeleteI imagine you are tired after this past week. Even good stuff can be exhausting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday wishes to Handsome Son. May he have many more and may you be here to celebrate him with many more delicious cakes.
I'll pass on your good wishes. Yes even nice events take energy.
DeleteHappy Birthday to Handsome Son Chocolate walnut cake....yum! I don't think I could do bridge pose,
ReplyDeleteIt's a good feeling. As long as you don't freeze. I'll pass on the good wished.
DeleteThe orchid looks simple and nice.
ReplyDeleteShort posts, or none at all, are permissable after a day of exertion.
ReplyDeleteI did have cake today. AND ice cream. I am quite ashamed.
ReplyDeleteI think Eat Cake would make a good life's motto.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birth Day to the Handsome Son! Cake is always a good thing on your birthday.
ReplyDeleteGood news about the hummingbird. You are doing good things in your garden obviously
