It is the end of the first full week in January so it is a great time to assess how I am doing and where I want to be by the end of the year. The first thing that I have been working on this year is my diet. I have now lost a total … Continue reading End of Week 1

A Few Days Off
I have taken a few days off work so that I can have a bit of a longer weekend and I have been making to most of it by getting a Buch of stuff done around the house as well as getting out with the dog for some longer walks. The weather has not been … Continue reading A Few Days Off
Tidying The House
I have spent the last few day or so tidying the house and clearing out some of my old stuff that I no longer use. I still have more to do but the house is looking a lot more organised already than it did at the start of the week. We are hoping that at … Continue reading Tidying The House
Introvert Problems
I have found that the biggest issue with being an introvert is that the vast majority of people see it as an a problem that needs to be fixed rather than a part of who I am.

Firstly, I have been quite busy at work. Although I haven't been stressed or … Continue reading Preoccupied
Time Off Work
Having time off work is great and very relaxing but it also makes me realise how much I need the structure of a regular job. So far this week has been very productive, I have got to do a bunch of things that I wanted to do. Plenty of running, streaming, writing, I have also … Continue reading Time Off Work
Today Was Not A Good Day
Today started out well enough, I managed to get up early to go for a run. I managed to run for a little bit over 6km even though it was very windy and a bit rainy outside. My commute into work was also pretty standard and uneventful (there was a bit of flooding on the … Continue reading Today Was Not A Good Day
Season of Good Will?
This time of year is meant to be a time of giving, sharing and good will but from what I have seen this is far from reality. In the last week I have seen a lot more examples of road rage when I am cycling or or walking around the city I live in than … Continue reading Season of Good Will?
