I am starting Couch to 5K from the beginning again and I am surprised how difficult it is to run for only 60 seconds with 90 seconds of break in between I’m several days behind on my writing plan this week. Have I set myself too ambitious a target? Should I reduce my target to… Continue reading Long week, long weekend (17.2021)

Well as least we know for sure now (44.20)
It's been another long nervous week with news of virus infections rising, local lockdowns implemented, and news coming in from Europe of other nations re-imposing lockdown measures (France, Germany). All week I've been holding my breath and tensing for the confirmation. And it came on Saturday night - Halloween, aptly enough. Another four weeks of… Continue reading Well as least we know for sure now (44.20)
The end (of summer) is nigh (38.20)
I'm finish this week with a small sense of panic building. We've been spoilt for so long with mild weather, and this weekend it was still possible to sit out in a t-shirt and shorts. However the weather forecast can't be denied, there is a sharp cold front coming and temperatures are going to drop… Continue reading The end (of summer) is nigh (38.20)
Another thwarted run
I think I am cursed, and like Sisyphus, I will never finish the Couch to 5k running programme. Today should have been my final run. And it was a good morning for a run. It was cool after yesterday's heat, a pleasant freshness in the air but not cool enough to need long sleeves. There… Continue reading Another thwarted run
33.20 – the heatwave breaks
The thunderstorm on Thursday night may have interrupted my sleep a little bit, but as it brought the temperature down I didn't mind so much, and when it was done, it was cool enough to sleep. My cat was not very happy during the heatwave. He had pretty much stopped eating and we were having… Continue reading 33.20 – the heatwave breaks
31.2020 or “I can’t believe it’s August already”
I cannot believe it's August already. August. Summer proper. We even had a day and night of significantly hot and distinctly Un-British weather (36C/96F in my part of London). Even with a fan it was difficult to concentrate in the home office on a Friday afternoon with those temperatures. So I felt fully justified in… Continue reading 31.2020 or “I can’t believe it’s August already”
A hot and sticky week (30.2020)
The weather this week has been all over the place. Hot, sunny, cool, rainy, sometimes all of these within one hour. So it's been hard to know how to dress and how to feel. Do I have a fever? No, it's just humid. Do I have a chill? No, it's just raining and windy now.… Continue reading A hot and sticky week (30.2020)
Week 27.2020 – rolling on into the second half of 2020
After a grim start to the year, I am feeling a little more positive and a little more energetic as the second half of 2020 rolls in. Let's hope I'm not mistaken in my feeling. This week's TV: We did some catching up on TV this week after a few weeks of not watching much… Continue reading Week 27.2020 – rolling on into the second half of 2020
