So I now wear glasses

When I remember that to wear them that is. They dont really seem to make any difference? But apparently my left eye is a lot weaker than my right eye... my left is 125 SPH while my right is 025 SPH for those of you who know how eye measurements work. I chose some very subtle plain brown oakley frames... thought I'd stay under the radar with my first pair. Then in the future once I'm used to myself wearing glasses I'll bling them up. I'm supposed to wear them for night driving and watching TV mostly. But the optometrist said I could wear them all the time if I wanted. They still feel a bit odd on and it feels like I'm straining my eyes the whole time... so pole pole I'll wear them more and more.

Yoga has been going exceptionally well lately. I can almost do the whole primary series. Just have to be able to get both feet behind my head! I am not far though from doing that, would you believe. My teacher has actually started me on the second series which is exciting. I am just LOVING my ashtanga yoga and am so energised by it. Here is my latest trick: (its a back walk over... I can do it with straight legs I promise!)


I've started growing sprouts. I got a cool sprout growing contraption last month and have basically been trying to sprout anything that doesnt move ever since. Its SO cool and SO easy and SO rewarding. I've been sprouting: Alfalfa, mung beans, soya beans, flaxseed and fenugreek. The sunflower seeds, fennel seeds and dill seeds did not work. Sprouts in general are just SOoooooooooooo good for you!

On that topic, I've been officially vegan now for over 6 months and am loving it. I've really been researching what I eat and what Nicolas eats and have been making some seriously healthy meals. I am passionate about eating healthily and staying healthy. So is Benedikt cos he has to be, living with me! I will never go back to be just vegetarian and am loving learning more and more each day about our food choices.

We've been cycling quite a bit lately as we are off to follow the Tour de France on Wednesday! Our honeymoon!! BUT we have a friend coming who is sharing the campervan with us :( ha ha ha ha. So we will be in France for a week and Germany for 10 days. Following the TDF is a dream for both of us and we are besides ourslves with excitement. So watch for us on telly during stages 16 to 19.
We are having Nico's first birthday party while we are in Germany, with all the family and some friends. So will be plenty of news when we are back beginning of August.
Check this video out from a race we did yesterday. It was a 9km circuit race where you did as many laps as you liked until you got your fastest time. Benedikt had the fasted time out of EVERYONE!! He's so fast and sexy!

On a side note, I've removed the 'new' from the title of this blog, as we've been here 2 years now and it no longer feels like a new life!
