It's been a successful week in terms of the goal I set myself of doing more of the things I say are important - prioritising reading, writing and exercise. I sat down and looked at the things I said I wanted to do more of and worked out what would be an appropriate amount of… Continue reading Priorities (32.2021)

A visit from an old friend
I should have known from the fluttering sense of panic when there's nothing going wrong. I should have known from the sense of gloominess when things are actually OK. I should have known from the tiredness and lethargy and lack of interest in anything when we are about to have things to look forward to.… Continue reading A visit from an old friend

But this was the hottest walking day we have ever had, with temperatures predicted to… Continue reading Walk the Lines (2 or 25)

I started drafting this post and left it sit for a few days until while watching Season 3 of Glow I saw a female impersonator perform this song by Liza Minnelli, "Yes". I realised it must be a sign from the universe. "Life keeps happenin' every day... say yes." Time to stop talking about change but… Continue reading Say yes
Take the stairs
Blah blah, healthy January. No drinking, all dieting, all queuing up at the (suddenly very crowded) gym. Saying no to chocolate and yes to fruit (but still wanting chocolate). In the northern hemisphere January is grim. None of the joys of December when you at least have Christmas and New Year to look forward to… Continue reading Take the stairs
