Former Baywatch actress Donna D'Errico at age 53





20 years later, and still looking dayum good.



That top picture above in the white bikini is her newest picture.

If you don't see me on here for a while, I may have gone to California to practice acting like I'm drowning.

Overweight and obesity are the fifth leading risk for global deaths. At least 2.8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. 44% of the diabetes burden, 23% of the ischaemic heart disease burden and between 7% and 41% of certain cancer burdens are attributable to overweight and obesity.


By one estimate, the U.S. spent $190 billion on obesity-related health care

Sometimes you feel the smell first. Top note: a lot of freshly chopped cucumbers, base note: fish oil. And if you slowly circle the place, it just might to let you see it.

Sometimes you turn the corner and there it is: lying on a low stone, basking in the Novembrian drizzle, clapping itself on the stomach. You stare at each other for a moment, equally surprised by the encounter. You are exited as a child, your counterpart has “darn inconvenience” written all over its face. Then the elements draw your vessel away.

But sometimes you just feel the presence. Unexplainable. No smell, no sound, just presence. As if someone is staring at you. You turn around and yes, it is staring at you.

And it happens – you are tired, frozen and happy with the day, shoveling water all you can ‘coz the sun is setting and the marina called and inquired: “where are you?” – that it suddenly emerges in the front of your kayak and looks at you from five meters distance for long enough for you to take off the gloves, fish up the mobile from presumably waterproof bag and turn the camera on. At that point, it will close its finely outlined nostrils and large gorgeous eyes and submerge, no splash, no sound. Did it really happen?

Saw as well a sea-gull catching and carrying away a crustacean. Imagine: to experience flying before your death. If only everybody was that lucky!

When driving home had the newly born crescent in the right corner of my windscreen, thin and bright, for 20 minutes. Then the road turned.

The bald pig is pulling the pin .


Good to see the rubbish is thinning out .

+5 C, cloudy and 2 m/s SW, which guarantees an event free paddling tour, but yesterday was windy, so the sea was rather choppy.

The usual baby-sitter couldn’t make it because of a minor injury, so I got a younger baby-sitter. Insurances and pleadings, that I’ll be fine on my own, didn’t do the trick. People have different ideas about what danger is. Had to accept the reality.

He’s the first time in those waters, in good mood, smiling and making small talk. I’m preferring to be on my own. Or at least left in peace. Led him through the crabbiest parts of the fjord, looking for the seal. No luck this time.

Around the first corner of Jonsborg, there is a low stone there that’s covered with water during high tide. The seal likes to lie there and then it looks like a seal is lying on water in the middle of the sea. (I have a picture.) No luck this time.

After rounding the second corner, we anchored for a tea break – the youth had thermos and cookies – so pleasant to get warm drink after all that seallessness and all…

And then on the way back, after we had chopped through an ice field – thin, but you can’t really paddle through ice – the youth said “It can’t be better, than that”, I sourly answered: “Oh, sure it can”… and there it was. Just appeared above the surface and looked at us. My companion was as enthusiastic and happy as I.

The seal let us see it for a few more times, but didn’t follow for long, as it had done a couple of times before.

Seals…


Got a short video of a colour-changing half-adult cygnet with a parent.


Found an oyster shell 18 cm long, 10 cm wide.

An anklet can be worn on either ankle; there are no underlying messages on what it means to wear it on the left versus the right. However, you should never wear your ankle bracelet with pantyhose. It should be worn on bare legs only.

How do you measure for an ankle bracelet?

Measure with a non-stretchy string or flex tape above your ankle bone and add ¼". For example; if your ankle measures 8", you will need a 8¼ - 8¾" anklet. This will allow room to loosen or tighten the beaded anklet to fit just right.

Is wearing silver anklets good?
According to Ayurveda and modern science, silver reacts well with the Earth's energy, while gold reacts well with the body's energy and aura. Therefore, silver is worn as anklets or toe rings while gold is used to adorn the upper parts of the body.

What are the benefits of wearing anklet?
If you frequently experience leg pain, numbness, tingling, or general weakness in your legs, wearing an anklet might be a great remedy for you. Wearing an anklet is particularly more helpful, especially with leg pain that originates from your lower back pain, traveling through your buttocks, down to your sciatic.

What wearing an anklet means?

Most cultures believe that an ankle bracelet worn on the left foot is a charm or talisman. Such anklets were used as amulets to protect the wearer from diseases and bad omens. They were used as a form of protection. Today, an anklet on your left foot may also indicate that you are married or engaged to a lover.
