Wednesday: Happy Birthday Ruby!!!
Good morning gang!
First, and most importantly HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUBY! I hope you have a really special birthday, unlike any you have had before! I'm sure your friends and family will make a fuss of you today, and I am sending you a big virtual hug and thinking of you today.
I hope you are all well this morning and that you are enjoying some short walks in the sunshine. I know I'm a broken record, but movement is honestly the best thing to wake up, shake up, and make you feel great! I would be lost without my morning yoga. Here are some options; This Minions Zumba warm up is under 3 minutes long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP0wgVhUC9w Or keep watching Joe Wicks, or do this fun dance to Can't Stop the Feeling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sxifR0Ltqk,

And finally, take a look at these gorgeous little baby boars, or boarlets, who were born in Co. Donegal, the first to be born in Ireland in 800 years. Imagine, 800 years, that's the 1200's. Hard to imagine. Such a good news story, and they are so cute!
