i am a runner
If I go running a couple of times a week am I a runner? I’ve started running again. It fell away to zero when we moved into our new house. I would run 5km once a week for a bit, then it would fade for a while then I’d come back to it. This has…

lost and found again – this time a water bottle
This is becoming a bit of a theme, lose something, order a replacement, and then the lost item reappears. Earlier in the year it was an AirPod, now it is a water bottle. Couldn’t for the life of me locate my favourite water bottle, it is the one I tend to grab about 90% of the…

for faffs sake – I lost an AirPod
I wrote some time ago about the benefits of wired headphones, including the fairly obvious fact that they are harder to lose. Well, I bought some AirPods 4 NC and had been getting along fine until I was on holiday over the Christmas period, opened the case and found the left AirPod missing. Find my…

things I will spend more time on in 2026
This is the inverse of my recent post about stuff I’d like to dump in 2026. It is inspired by Jon’s blog where he added an invest list under his own to dump list. I suppose they are a bit like new year resolutions, but framing in terms of spending more time rather than something…

things I might dump in 2026
A scattered list of habits I’m ready to ditch in 2026: social media, the second coffee, podcasts that exist to sell a book, and pretending to journal.
