Did some more yoga this morning. I think one of the things I've previously found difficult with trying to set up an exercise routine is that a half hour work out requires 20-30 minutes of getting there, changing, showering and changing back etc. I've switched to doing my exercise first thing in the morning when I get up now that I don't have to ( Read more... ) -

Have decided to try posting a quick daily update - not for any particular reason, just for my own interest really.
Spent today divided between lounging around and reading (Patrick Ness and Robin Stevens) will it was hot and doing a bunch of gardening once the sun moved behind the big tree behind my garden. Put in all the peas and mange tout so far, ( Read more... ) -

Am feeling slightly restless/discontented at the moment. The summery weather at the weekend was lovely and I did get some gardening in, but I also did a lot of lounging around reading when there was stuff that I should have been getting on with really. Work has felt a little fraught this week due to the fallout from a mistake (someone else's, but ( Read more... ) -

Pushed myself to start the book group book (Ra) today, despite my developing Stardew Valley addiction and am glad I did - it's really good! I think I'm quite likely to get it finished even though it's long - it's clipping along at a fair old rate and I'm really enjoying it. One of the things book group and getting back into reading new fiction ( Read more... ) -

Actually went to a gig this week, for the first time in ages and really enjoyed it - it helped that it wasn't super busy so I could perch on a stool for part of it, but also it was just a really nice way to spend an evening. I have also been getting the garden going again - I refilled the wheelbarrow with soil and sowed some lettuce, some rocket ( Read more... ) -

I happened to do my semi regular search for Stardew Valley on Android on our way into London on Saturday and finally met with success! I've been really wanting it as a phone game for ages and, of course, I immediately got sucked into it big time and did quite a bit of that and not enough chores on Sunday (sorry, fellow Habitca party members!). I ( Read more... ) -

It's kind of bizarre listening to the news at the moment, or at least the news podcast. They're all full of people who are supposedly experts on the UK political scene basically shrugging their shoulders and saying "who knows!" about what comes next. Still, it was interesting to listen to the FT team saying that the conservatives really need to ( Read more... ) -

My enthusiasm for the veg patch seems to continue unabated this year - I have lots of things I want to grow and the wheelbarrow will be making a reappearance to give me more growing space in the sunshine. It has gone together with my renewed enthusiasm for finding a good, farm-shop butcher (which I think I have done, by the way) and it felt very ( Read more... ) -

I keep starting entries here and then not finishing them, which is irritating. I'm currently stuck in a slight limbo today waiting for my boss to merge some of my last batch of changes back into the main codebase so I might as well take the opportunity for a bit of an update. Went out to Le Manoir for my birthday last week, which was just as ( Read more... ) -

Fell down a rabbit hole this weekend of pricing Magic cards. Basically, as part of tidying up the library, Alex and I decided that realistically, we're just not going to get back into playing with our old Magic cards, and my default reaction was to say that in that case, we should just chuck them out but Alex was sure that we ought to do * ( Read more... )
