I roasted a chicken at work to eat with salad and bread at our evening team meeting.

Made a new recipe that I had clipped from the Guardian a couple of weeks ago. A Japanese rice bowl, except I used noodles rather than rice and tofu instead of dead bird, and I forgot the mango.

It was very nice.

Sounds lovely. Had something similar myself, Bint, with pear and ginger. Yum yum. Not a newt, though.

Newt for me was yoga related, balancing in crow pose, something I've been working towards for a few days.

Oh well done Becca! I came across the crow pose in the 30 days of Yoga thing (a handful of Fetchies did this) - it seems quite advanced and I certainly couldn't do it the one (and only?) time it cropped up.

I did try the camel after you posted it, though ... and that became my very late in the day newt. So thanks!

V. impressed by the crow...I can only manage about 3 seconds (which is really just more of a slow toppling over). Camel pose makes me feel like I'm going to pass out. I think I must have some kind of weird anatomy and it compresses an important artery :-)

I met a newt person last night, whilst I was visiting the newt hospital. He insisted on telling me all about how he had left my current workplace because he hated everyone there. This was about 10 years ago & he didn't seem to have moved on in any meaningful way :-o (I like my current workplace, for the record).

Yesterday's learning point: Not all newts are fun.

3 seconds of crow is about all I managed, but I'll take it. Camel is, I think, a good one for runners but a tough one. Well done Sharkie.

Thanks Becca. In spite of years and years of Pliates (although I have let it slide) my Balance is Not What it Was. Age related at a guess but like muscle decline something that can be addressed.

I've always been quite good at back extensions - hence Fosbury Flopping still a possibility at 60 plus!

Ah, yes, the Fosbury Flop requires similar flexibility. I don't think that I shall be trying that as one of my newts, though.
