I weighed myself this morning in preparation for recording how exercise affects my weight and I was surprised to find I was actually lighter than last time I weighted myself! Albeit 8 pounds lighter, it’s a pleasant feeling! I didn’t quite manage to walk into work yesterday, but I made up for the fact I [...]
I am making a pledge to myself and the environment. From next week, I’m going to walk to work at least two times a week. I hope to increase this pledge to 4 times a week at some stage, but am easing myself in gently. There are two reasons for my decision to walk, firstly [...]
My weekend has not gone at all as planned! I have been labouring under some kind of bug since the end of work on Friday. This came just at the wrong time as I have a fully scheduled weekend of events! It wasn’t made any better by the fact I’d bought tickets for two of [...]

I went shopping last weekend and managed to pick up a nice set of goodies including a couple of books; Before I Die by Jenny Downham and Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. I even managed to get a LED torch which I’ve been wanting to get for some time as they are really powerful, especially when [...]
OK! I know I haven’t really blogged or tweeted for a while. It does feel like an eternity! I’m not really sure where to start on things I’ve wanted to blog on over the last month and beyond. Life has certainly been busier than usual and I’ve been making more of my ‘down-time’. For Christmas [...]
I want to remember this moment forever.
