Bodyweight fitness challenge while working from home.

I won't talk too much about what is going on around us at the minute, it is far too depressing to go on about and I am sure that you have read thousands of words on the topic, so here... The C-word is banned. But, I wanted to talk about something I am doing during...

March Running update

With everything going on around us at the minute, there is a fair chance that this blog is going to be pretty fitness related for the next few weeks. Any film or TV stuff will be directed over to my film/TV blog if you care to have a click over there! But, as I had...

How I realised I was “treating” myself too much at work

Welcome back! I have recently chatted about my weight loss in 2019, how I focused on itin December and the joys of fitting back into clothes I had bought 9 months previous in January, but something else happened in January and it really is quite annoying to admit.

5 reasons why I got a side job

Last time out on a similar subject I spoke about the issues with Rev. I won't go further into the subject on that side. But I did want to talk about another side job I have and how I actually enjoy this one! Luckily for me, I am in a job where I am more...

Why I felt so at home in a big city

When Victoria and I went on our trip in March, we didn’t expect many things that would happen over the course of the holiday, we didn’t expect our first day to be a bit stressful and we most certainly did not expect to fall in love with being in a big city such as New...

Monday Thoughts: Should we return to independent traders food shopping?

Victoria and I were watching a BBC documentary about plastic waste and at one point they mentioned how butchers, greengrocers and milkmen are making a small resurgence and that got me thinking about how much I use their services and actually how much I want to increase using local traders rather than supermarkets for my...
