I’m feeling the same!!! Not enough time to do everything I want to do, feel I NEED to do, for myself on the weekends. And the protein/weights advice seems like another fad. Our grandparents didn’t have to worry about stuff like this! I’m sure they had other worries… but hitting protein goals definitely wasn’t one of them. Health advice these days seems so specific/niche/bound to change. I try to remember a few words of advice from my grandparents ‘everything in moderation’… ‘too much of anything is not good for you’ and I also quite like the 80/20 rule (which means I can justify eating some chocolate every day 😂).

Hope you have a lovely weekend and get to do all of the things you want and need to do xxx

Hi R, hope your weekend’s going well.

1. No and no because I’m a 🦕

2. Yes it does, but there’s snow on the hills and frosty mornings still. Garden springing tho!

3. No, but I’m not in the busy stage that you are anymore. I saw someone on substack, can’t remember who, who plans one thing she will do for the family, one thing for herself, and one thing for ? something else. Quite wise, I thought.

4. Home improvements. Specifically cushions last week.

5. Yes! Too much information! Yes, our nanas were ok…but advances are constantly happening…a blessing and a curse!

6. Yes, has a fair idea, but it’s my domain here, too.

Have a lovely evening xx

Q1 no i dont use insta anymore

Q2 not sure what our official rainfall is, it was a dry start to winter, the rain we have received has been in short heavy downpours rather than long steady soaking days.

Q3 opposite problem here, too much time on my hands means procrastination and faffing so i still don't do the things i say i 'want' to do.

Q4 don't really hyper fix on anything i could actually do, more on bigger things outside my control

Q5 absolutely. i think almost all these trends, fads whatever we call them may be based in some research but then quickly become a marketing gimmick to sell us something, even if it's just dissatisfaction with our lives.

Q6 he does a chunk of the food shopping so yes he does realise the cost we

have a great weekend hope you get to do some of the things on your list and at the end you feel happy with your achievements

cheers Kate
