I’m sorry I have been a bit quiet of late, we’ve been hibernating. It’s a word no-one ever wants to hear, a loaded word that carries a heavy emotional and psychological weight, which can make it a difficult topic for many people to discuss openly. It is a word that often associated with fear, uncertainty, … Continue reading Day 1,671: Little C & Me
Hey there readers, it’s been a while. You may decide I've been listening to too much Enya after reading this... Hippies have been spotted in this area...
The concept of work as a central aspect of our lives is deeply ingrained in our culture. While the idea of work-life balance is widely promoted, it may be misleading and distracting from the true meaning and purpose of life. Work is not inherently part of life, and achieving balance is not simple for many. Ultimately, life holds more importance than work, and finding individual purpose is crucial for true happiness.
Month 40ish: Matter of the heart. Eleanor Roosevelt said that you should “Do something that scares you every day”. Today my scary thing was not, for example, accidentally ordering decaf, or picking a fight with an angry hedgehog. Nope, today I went for a run.

I was clearly robbing Peter to … Continue reading Month +22: So Far, So Good

My miles have gone up, Sunday long-runs are again a thing, and I'm feeling suitably tired - so much so in fact, that I forgot to … Continue reading Month +21: Decaf, Anyone?
This has been an exiting month, mainly because I discovered that against all the odds, I have secured myself a place in the 2022 London Marathon. I have taken part in this historic event once before - back in 2014, but what with all the changes in the good-for-age allocations, deferrals from the 2021 event, … Continue reading Month +20: Moving Targets
It's all to easy to make poor choices about how we use our time. Do something you really want to this year, rather than rescheduling and postponing your joy.
