It feels like January flew past in a flash – 31 days gone with little to show for it. Of course it didn’t, but thats just how it felt because some things I should have done I didn’t, however there were some good bits too! This could also be said for 2015 – boy did … More Monthly review – January
Rain yesterday has caused the River Bradford to overflow its banks around Youlgreave. We have some lakes that aren’t usually there! For some reason I decided today would be a good day for a longer run – so added a section of Lathkill (from near Congleton bridge back towards Allport) … More Flooding and Running…
DISCLAIMER: I’m a massive Sci-Fi fan which of course means I am a massive Star Wars fan. Being the age I am means I am a IV>VI lover rather than a I>III lover* and I was *very* much looking forward to this new instalment in a beloved saga. . . I AM A JEDI. OR … More The Force Awakens…
So 2016 starts with both Highs and Lows – and I am not talking about the deaths of celebrities*. This year started for me in Cambodia on a high**. We flew out just after Christmas and for New Years eve we were in Phnom Penh (Cambodia’s capital) with thousands of other people crowded in front … More The ups and downs of 2016 so far…
I’m not into New Years resolutions, but I do believe that setting goals is a good thing; I know I work harder and am more committed to goals that I have set and (importantly) publicised! So here be some goals I have set myself, and which, luckily, all work together. 10k – Brighton – April … More 2016 Goals
So there is the old saying that ‘times flies when you are having fun’ but I can also say with some experience that time also flies when you procrastinate. I’ve been off work for 3 months now (nearly 4) and I have no idea where that time has gone. For sure, I have done stuff. … More Tempus Fugit
Nothing sucks more than having the time, motivation and desire to exercise, only to suffer an injury that stops you from doing it. Lately it seems every week I have a new injury and I’m not sure why*. It all started a few weeks back (about 5 weeks ago) when I was getting back into … More Plagued by injuries..
I didn’t do well at school. Which is to say that I didn’t really go. It was a bad time for me – not in a tragic ‘I had issues’ way (but I guess I did to some degree) but more that I thought it was a travesty that I was being forced to go … More On becoming a student (part time)
So a few weeks back, after taking the dogs for their morning walk, I was sitting in the kitchen enjoying my breakfast when I heard my phone ring whilst on silent upstairs (that thing really vibrates!). Curiosity got the better of me so I retrieved the phone and listened to the voice message: It was … More A reminder: we are all mortal.
So this is an email I sent to Kate yesterday morning at 05:30. Oh the joys of having dogs… +++ So the oddest thing. I woke up at 04:30 a little thirsty but not desperate and I ignore it for half an hour before finally getting up and going downstairs to get some water. It … More Poomagedden!!!!
