Backlog

We caught up with some friends this morning, ambling around the lovely Rickmansworth Aquadrome in the sun. There was also coffee. Later, we popped over to see my in-laws, and managed to catch up a bit on the family support line backlog.

Restorative yoga

Today didn’t get off to the best of starts. Due to a confusion with laundry, I discovered that my wallet and car keys were swooshing round the washing machine. Sorting this out delayed my trip to the gym, some present-buying and then our leaving to head into London for … a restorative yoga session.

I'm back

Yesterday I performed the flute solo I’ve been working on these last few months, with my local orchestra the Misbourne Symphony Orchestra.

The not-too-long version is that we had a Tesco food delivery booked for 10-11pm, and I was doing some work while waiting for the delivery. At around midnight I thought I should check what was going on, and then found an email from a few hours earlier saying...

Websites

The approach I’ve set up for this website has been working really very well indeed. Now obviously I’m a developer-type, slightly techy kind of person so I would say this. But, adding a new blog post as I’m doing now is pretty straightforward. I open a text editor, add some dull boilerplate at the top with titles etc, then just...

Eventful

The last couple of days have blasted by with lots going on. There’s not much to report, although I did find this rather interesting article in the Guardian about some Empire-related history of the type I was mentioning the other day.

Spa

Today is a story in two parts. It kicked off with some outdoor circuits followed by a quick gym stint to get some rowing in (1km in 3:55) and weighted heel drops for Achilles reasons.
