Day 16

The cleaner always sorts the papers on my desk and honestly it’s the best.

Day 15

Meet the World’s First Carbon-Neutral Soccer Club

Just up the road from where Mum grew up.

Day 13

Sunday wasn’t great
Caught up inside my own head
Time to breathe and smile

How much do you think about this country’s obesity crisis? I used to, but now I think more about the mental health crisis. I used to focus on physical transformation – leanness, body shape. But during the pandemic I realised that it’s with mental health that people need help and motivation. Without a healthy mindset and the energy you get from exercise, life feels a lot harder. If you look at exercise from a mental health perspective, the body will follow.

Day 12

Elise just gave me a thumbs up and then winked at me because she did some great eating. Which was weird.

Yumo is getting better! Not bad for 3 years old.

Working hard!

Morning jigsaws.

In other news one of my 7 year old students made me realise my chess skills are not really what I remembered them to be!

Doing jigsaws with Elise made me realise that being patient with students/kids who are learning is just emotionally taxing. Especially when it a your day job too.

Day 10 is sponsored by Ted Lasso and the song Risk It All by Ella Henderson.

Does anyone use Bitwarden?

I currently use Lastpass but undecided about paying or switching to something.

It’s 5:45am and I’m having a coffee and a little cry watching Ted Lasso.

Dealing with money stuff and other stuff I find stressful is difficult enough and more so when the only time I can do it is between 9 and 10pm at night when I really don’t want to.

Day 10

Beer and Splendor

Chilli cucumber!

Day 9 Yumo was looking over the back of the sofa, like a meerkat. Tigger and his blanket held tightly. Daddy? Yes Yumo? He makes a kissing noise with his mouth. Good morning Yumo

Day 8

The conversations I have with my kids. Where 东西 is Chinese for thing.

Him: 东西
Me: pardon? What do you want?
Him: 东西
Me: 东西吗?
Him: yes
Me: 你要什么东西?
Him: I don’t know东西

Good chat

Front squats 7x1

Day 7

Believe.

Didn’t think I had the energy but managed my first sub 20minute 5k row today!
