I took a month away from social media (and pretty much everything else) to focus on writing in NaNoWriMo. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is a challenge where you try to write 50,000 words towards a novel in one month. I thought that by removing the distractions of social … Continue reading I’m Back
challenge
Thursday 15th April 2021
It is halfway though the month so I am halfway through my writing challenge. I am only a couple of thousand words behind where I should be to be on track but that is to be expected at this point in the week. I always write more on the weekend anyway so I should easily … Continue reading Thursday 15th April 2021
Autumn is here
Autumn is usually my favorite time of year. I am not really a fan of warm weather generally so the fact that it is cooler is great for me but there are a number of other things that I really enjoy about this time of year. One of my favorite things about this time of … Continue reading Autumn is here
Back to a Healthy Lifestyle
I have just today come off a long bank holiday weekend and I have to admit that during this time I have not done great in terms of diet. Although I didn't have any chocolate, I did eat more than usual including having a take away. I also didn't move as much as I normally … Continue reading Back to a Healthy Lifestyle
Bank Holiday Weekend
Today was my last day at work before the bank holiday weekend. I now have 4 days off work.

This weekend is … Continue reading Bank Holiday Weekend

Beginning of April

Dog Disturbances
Last night our dog decided that he wanted to get our attention at 2:45am. This meant that he not only woke u up int the middle of the night but also kept us awake for a while until he was ready to settle again. Unfortunately this had a few effects on me for the rest … Continue reading Dog Disturbances
I Need More Numbers
I am the sort of person that finds statistics of and numbers on my fitness very motivating. I like to have information about how I am doing daily/weekly/monthly compared to how I was doing yesterday/last week/last month. I have tried many health and fitness apps in the past but I have never found any that … Continue reading I Need More Numbers
