WOD

It’s grey, it’s cold, rain mixed with snow is falling (or snow mixed with rain, I don’t know very well) : so I decided to exercise inside.

For those who are not familiar with CrossFit, WOD stands for Workout Of the Day.

WOD :

  • climb stairs at full speed, jumping 2 steps at a time
  • go down more quietly
  • high-speed chase with Zorro
  • with Claire : capture 5 times my Neko Fly
  • climb my cat tree up to the ceiling
  • catch the Neko Fly from the top platform of the cat tree
  • go down and jump from the bottom platform to the ground
  • 4 minutes cardio-training with the Cat Dancer

And you, what is your program to stay fit ?

From winter to spring

Within a week, we jumped from winter to spring : the signs multiply, as these croci in our garden for example.

We had a fast rebound of the temperatures, and even a little sun.

Our humans have a new project : renovate the kitchen. They spent their Friday afternoon choosing the color of cupboards, the counter, and the appliances, and still have to think about the stone floor.

We didn’t already have been able to visit you on your blogs on Wednesday and Thursday because Claire had had big days at the school between teaching and her management activity, and we wanted to catch up on Friday, but we had to change our plans : her old friend The Migraine barged in on Friday evening and was embedded until Sunday morning !

In the afternoon, Claire and Momo went to walk by the lake (Lake of Geneva) in spite of the gloomy weather, and made some nice meetings.


March is also the month of time change : we hate that, and it will take place at the end of the month here. All the best to all our American friends !

Welcome to Siberia !

It’s been cold, very cold at the beginning of last week (-12 C / 10 F), and we didn’t go out a lot.

On Wednesday evening, the wind got up, and it began to snow. Gusts were very strong, it blew all night long. The wind was so violent that the next day, Claire and her colleagues let the children come in the classrooms before the bell, and kept them inside for the break : imagine, the wind almost brought down the smallest of them ! The airport of Geneva was even closed on Thursday. This cold snap affected all Europe, and we hope that it’s the last glorious valediction of winter before the arrival of spring.

We thus found other activities to spend time : Pixie helped Claire to tidy up the kitchen, and I stayed warm on the radiator.

The weather fortunately calmed down for end of the week, and we enjoyed a magnificent sunny Sunday.

And in your area, did you also bear icy temperatures and the blizzard ?
