Winter has finally arrived with a vengence here in New Zealand, and along with it has come almost constant rain and cold temperatures.
Winter has also brought back a reoccurring injury that I thought was gone for good. I have to be careful not to twist my right knee in the cold, otherwise it doesn’t bend well, which makes walking and climbing/descending stairs an unpleasent experience.
Fortunately, I still have the exercise notes from the physiotherapist I spent so much time (and money) with last year.
As long as I do the some physio everyday along with a smearing of ‘deep heat’, the problem stays away.
The skateboards gone away for winter, along with the pushbike, so I now workout at a Gym and go for walks everywhere instead.
The offroad motorcycling season’s also finished, and the skiing season should start in a few months time.
I usually go snowboarding with my youngest daughter, who has a passion for skiing.
The kids have also recently taken up basketball, which has pulled me into having a go as well. (They are a lot more motivated if I join in).
It’s a mission keeping up with teenagers, but I try anyway!
