Day 40 of Lockdown
Today was very Mondayish. I woke up feeling blah. The morning flew by and I did my coaching session with Z, today working on core and flexibility. My hamstrings are so tight. It's not my favourite thing trying to stretch them out, but hopefully with enough practice it'll get better. Work flew past until about 15:00, and then time just seemed to ( Read more... ) -
Day 39 of lockdown
I decided to self-isolate on the 17th March (I wasn't feeling well and had shortness of breath), on the 18th we took our kids out of school and the family went into isolation, so counting from the 17th, this is the 39th day of lockdown for us. Officially, the lockdown only started here at 16:00 on the 20th March (at least, that's when the schools ( Read more... ) -
Battle of the Brians (2019)
Inspired by https://infogalactic.com/info/Battle_of_the_Brians I thought that I would write a True and Accurate account of the Battle of the Brians (2019 ( Read more... ) -
I join the Scottish Gliding Club, part 2
After the preliminaries were sorted out, I was all ready to go and play with the gliders. They had been taken out while we were in the classroom, so I wandered off to the launch point and went to go join in. Despite being there relatively early, my name was fairly far down the flying list (which suited me as it'd give me time to get a feel for the ( Read more... ) -
I join the Scottish Gliding Club, part 1
Just over 3 years ago, on my 13th Wedding Anniversary, instead of whispering sweet nothings to my beloved, I was nearly a thousand kilometers away, getting thoroughly lost and having a grand old time in what turned out to be my best, and last flight in a glider ( Read more... ) -
Hi ho, Hi ho, it's back to work I go
And just like that, the holidays are over and it's back to work. Time really does fly. I realised that yesterday, we've been in our new house for a month. Already! Still loving it here. With it being on top of a hill, I think that I'm getting pretty fit now that I need to cycle uphill both ways to work. The downhill bits are fun though ( Read more... ) -

Venture
Years ago, around the time I took the profile picture that I use here, I got a cat called Aragorn. He was a stray before I got him, so the first thing that I did was take him to the vet to get his immunisations, and basically just a general checkup. The vet called me and I expected him to tell me that Aragorn was ready to be collected, but he didn' ( Read more... ) -
Farewell Nicole, I decide to sell the house, ice skating, and work
Nicole is no more. Well, I'm sure she's having a whale of a time wherever she is, but I'm back to being carless. It's not carelessness that left me in this state (did you see what I did there!), but rather accepting the inevitable. I did try keep Nicole, but it was not to be. Her MOT is due, and so I took her to a local mechanic to ask them to ( Read more... )
