My alt cv is visual cv of my walks and my baking adventures so far this year.
Daily Habits
I try to open my days by waking early and reading. I am currently reading two books and I read for about an hour in the mornings.
Next I try to meditate for at least 5 minutes and then I do some gentle Yoga ‘Salute to the Sun’
I then get dressed and listen to the news before I begin work
I try to walk somewhere beautiful everyday for at least two hours. I mostly walk on my own but sometimes my family or my friends join me. Walking helps me to feel grounded, and connected to the earth and to my humanity. It also helps me achieve a sense of perspective and supports me to approach life from a place of curiosity and compassion.
I like to go to bed early and I typically go to bed around 9pm

My Cat
This is a picture of my cat. He was a wild cat who started to visit my home looking for food. I started to feed and care for him about two years ago and now we are very close. This is a picture of him asleep on my bed.
My Baking
I used to love baking when my children were young but during my years in academia I stopped baking. I set an intention at the beginning of this year to bake for my friends and family. It is another way of sharing my love for them. My first bake was a pavlova. I had always wanted to bake one but somehow I felt like I would not be able to, mainly because my sister who is a brilliant baker tried and was not successful. Anyway I tried my best and shared this with my beautiful cousins when they came to visit in January.
Next is a almond and apple cake I baked for my two school friends who came for dinner in March
Finally this is an Orange and Olive Oil cake that I baked for my sister on her birthday
Great work. Thanks for sharing soo many moments from your own life. Baking, reading, and walking are great. The photos are also fabulous, with a thoughtful ALT text
Thanks Yasser for taking the time to read my Alt CV
You’re very welcome… it is always a pleasure.
I love your pictures Aine. I too have an adopted cat. He’s striped ginger and white, around nine years old, large, handsome and the least friendly cat I’ve ever lived with – he’s attacking my ankles as I type this – but we love him anyway
Hi Kathy,
My cat is a very interesting character too and thank you so much for taking the time to look at my life pictures. Hope I get to meet you at one of the live sessions
That’s some gorgeous landscapes for walks, very much appreciate seeing them.
Your cat has an uncanny resemblance to a volunteer one who showed up on our property last summer and lives on our rural property underneath an old barn. My father-in-law named the cat Oscar.
Hi Alan, thank you for taking the time to read my CV. It was so lovely meeting you in the breakout on Wednesday. I also am grateful that you shared your Hoping for Hopes Splog – I cannot tell you how much I got out of it.
