I was awake for a while at 2 am this morning thinking about something that I can't remember now. I was considering getting up and reading for a while, but I managed to fall back to sleep not too much later ( Read more... ) -

28. What Is Your Favorite Street? Most of the streets in our suburb are my favourites at this time of year because of the beautiful colours of the leaves. There are a couple of streets in Perth which are beautiful in November/December (jacaranda blossom season). I don't think I could choose just one favourite street because there are different ( Read more... ) -

I seem to have almost lost all motivation to go out walking or running this week. Sunday I used the exercise bike instead; yesterday I did go for a walk, the long way around to and from the post office; today I used the stationary bike again. I plan to go for a run tomorrow morning but who knows if I'll actually go. Part of it is that the mornings ( Read more... ) -

The weather forecast was giving us frost warnings for this morning, but the lowest the temperature fell was about 4°C/39°F. Cold, but not literally freezing. It's been clear and sunny all day, but not very warm. I had to talk myself into going for a walk after breakfast, and of course once I got out there and got myself warmed up it was very ( Read more... ) -

Just after 8 this morning I drove over to the MVA to redo the car emissions test, and this time the car passed. I suspect, although I've got no way of proving this, that the reason the test didn't work last time was because the car wasn't sufficiently warmed up. I'd driven from home (about 10 miles) but then the car sat in the carpark for at least ( Read more... ) -

25. When Have You Failed? What Did You Learn From It? I didn't fail to graduate from high school, but I did fail to do well enough to be able to go on to university. I don't actually think I learnt anything from this experience, apart from feeling like a huge failure. I had done very well for the first three years of high school, but everything ( Read more... ) -

Before parkrun this morning, I went for a brisk walk covering just over 4 km/2 ½ miles. As I was starting off at parkrun I was thinking the walk might have been a mistake, as my legs were feeling quite tired before I was even at the halfway point of parkrun. However, once I got well warmed up my legs recovered, which was a relief. Parkrun was extra ( Read more... ) -

I got distracted yesterday afternoon and didn't finish what I meant to write about the magic cast-on. Strangely, although I'm mostly left handed and crochet left handed, I knit right handed but I have to follow the left-handed version of the instructions for this magic cast-on because I do this cast-on left handed. (I normally cast on right handed ( Read more... ) -

I finally mastered the magic invisible cast-on (for knitting) yesterday afternoon. I had been trying to follow instructions for right-handers, but although I'd been able to use those in the past, this time I couldn't get my brain to translate them to left-handed. Eventually I found a video for left-handers and followed it very carefully, pausing it ( Read more... ) -

Our beautiful weather continues so I was planning a very long walk this morning, but I realised that my back is still somewhat sore after the long walks I've done over the past few days so this morning I kept it a bit shorter, about 3 km/2 miles shorter than planned. My back was still unhappy, but even so l enjoyed being out amongst the multi- ( Read more... )
