An hour to myself....my myLot corner

Good afternoon from this side of the planet.
. It's sunny and warm outside but the mercury is not too high to make you sweat. It's pleasant under ceiling fan or even the breeze coming from the window is good enough. It's 2 PM and here I am for an hour to enjoy mylotting and the music in the background. I have played Arijit Singh( one of the popular singers of Bollywood in current times)on YouTube 
I started my day at 6:30 today ( going relaxed in summer holidays) and since then I have been doing something or the other. It's the first time since then that I took a break to come here. And now I am going to have fun here for another hour
I didn't do any exercise in the morning. Since Sunday, we have been going out for hiking, trekking and cycling early in the morning at 4:30 AM. Today we took a break. Tomorrow I plan to do an hour of gardening early in the morning and that would be all for exercise for tomorrow. We plan to drive down to a nearby hill on the outskirts early in the morning on Sunday and go for a long hiking. And maybe later have our breakfast under the huge Banyan tree when we come down. I will carry some breakfast and a bedsheet from home to sit and enjoy our breakfast amidst nature after a hike It's the plan so far and let's hope all goes well and it happens..
I have done enough cleaning and elaborate cooking for today. I will not move from here for another one hour. I fully deserve a long break.
Enjoy mylotting! Now I move on to my notifications See you there I will come back to reading and responding posts once I am done with the huge pile of notifications here.

Thank you. This is the first time that we are going to this hill for hiking. We have been to others. Someone from our hiking group went there last week..the pictures were tempting. Keeping fingers crossed.
I hope that I don't get my monthly visitor by then. Else I have to postpone it.

@arunima25 Oh, that would be too bad if you postpone. I wouldn't mind going even when my period comes.

It was a good one. I planned to make discussion here about the same but then I could not. Maybe I should do that today if I get enough time

@aninditasen Yes, it does. I have always been physically active. But lately after Covid infection, I feel some discomfort in knees and use knee cap.

Thank you. How are you?
It's summer vacation for my younger daughter. And our niece can also join for Sunday. So, it will be more of family trekking. Husband and I are trekking and hiking enthusiasts. We can go out anyday ( planned or unplanned). Even on working weekdays, we go for cycling for 12_17 kms early in the morning at 4.

I am looking forward to it. We have never been to hiking to this place. We have explored few others around Bangalore. My husband came to know of this from his WhatsApp group of hikers and trekking enthusiasts. He was impressed with the pictures posted in the group. We are just following whatever has been suggested by the person who has experienced it. He only suggested this breakfast idea. Anyway we do feel too hungry after such long hikes

I keep clearing the notifications and they keep pouring in every day. That shows how much myLot friends love me. I consider that a blessing.
Our city doesn't get too hot. This year, we had some unusual hot days. Glad that last few days is not so bad.
Stay hydrated.
