Stairs and how I’ve learned to love them

November 28, 2016 daveywankenobie

It’s been busy day that’s been a little disappointing in one respect, but encouraging in others. I had been expecting a call back from a

Fried sprouts and selfies

November 26, 2016 daveywankenobie

I unexpectedly found my happy place in some sprouts just now. I bought them last week thinking that I’d make them part of a recipe with

Frosty Jack

November 25, 2016 daveywankenobie

Perspective is often the only thing that separates us from feeling depressed and feeling elated. I’m sure that in 99% of cases it’s simply a choice

Teeny tiny Chewie

November 24, 2016 daveywankenobie

I feel flipping wonderful. Apple Watch has been dutifully monitoring my activities so far today and it’s reporting that a little under seven miles has

43% less likely to suffer amputation or death

November 22, 2016 daveywankenobie

It’s very early days for my job search but I’m already becoming increasingly aware that it’s going to be a big test of mental fortitude. Since

Setting interim goals

November 20, 2016 daveywankenobie

A long chat with someone yesterday left me thinking about ‘the man I was’ vs ‘the man I am now’ vs ‘the man I am becoming’.

Puppy love

November 19, 2016 daveywankenobie

Back when I started writing my blog I had the twin objectives of getting myself a dog and getting fit. The latter has very much become the

Phishing and old jeans

November 18, 2016 daveywankenobie

It seems that at times I’m still my own worst enemy. Even after all my progress lately I’m at times (irritatingly) prone to looking at the worst

Ryton Woods

November 13, 2016 daveywankenobie

I woke up early this morning. I’d been feverishly dreaming of video games and my slumber had consequently been spent in outer space, heavily outnumbered by

Miley twerks no more

November 12, 2016 daveywankenobie

It’s been a drizzly and damp day today – and I guess maybe as a consequence the group this morning at Slimming World seemed smaller than

Extra ventilation

November 11, 2016 daveywankenobie

This last few weeks has seen the demise of a couple of old acquaintances. Thankfully they were not people, but elderly denims that did not

No curtains

November 9, 2016 daveywankenobie

I feel optimistic today – which given the dull, grey and overcast sky is not really how I guess I expected to feel when I first

Hello park, I’ve missed you!

November 7, 2016 daveywankenobie

It’s an absolutely beautiful autumn day today and the park this morning is filled with wonderful colours. A light breeze is in the air, and

Normal service has been resumed

November 6, 2016 daveywankenobie

Ok – from the moment I woke up today I felt different. Lighter somehow – and not in a physical sense. The dark mood from

Seven and a half stone off.

November 5, 2016 daveywankenobie

Today I feel oddly deflated, which is particularly perverse given that I’m actually back on track. After a week of going back to basics and writing

Distance update

November 3, 2016 daveywankenobie

Although it seems strangely inappropriate to celebrate the number of miles I’ve walked lately (given that doing it to excess appears to have caused my current injury) this

Portion control – a work in progress. 

November 2, 2016 daveywankenobie

There are a lot of people who have said to me at some point or another that they’re amazed that I could be so open

When your partner gets her kicks by making a copy of you in animal crossing and giggles uncontrollably as you shake maracas 🙄it’s spousal abuse... #animalcrossingnewhorizons
Life may be shyte at the moment but you can help smiling at this cosy pooch transportation method 😂
Happy new year! Let’s hope we all survive the zombie apocalypse long enough to see 2022! 😂
Love is not expressed by grand gestures, bottles of champagne or expensive trinkets. It’s to be found instead in something as simple as feeling insanely happy that you’re both wearing matching slippers on Christmas Day. To me this says more about how alike and in love you are than any diamonds or lumps of hammered gold could ever do. 2020 has been a s&&t year - but it’s proven without any doubt that the person I’ve chosen to be in my life (and spent every single day with) is absolutely the right one for me. Happy Christmas all 🎄🎅🏻
When your partner discovers the 1962 Peel P50 in Forza Horizon 4 😂
Seems like Tesco now do an ultra hd car wash! Try as I might I couldn’t see where on earth to plug in my Xbox - and they mentioned nothing about high dynamic range 🤔if I didn’t know better I’d say that this was a clever marketing ploy to sell soap to men...
Today was the day... where I downloaded absolutely shedloads of patches and all of my current gen games loaded really quick and looked rather smooth. Hopefully some real system testing games will come out soon and next gen will start in earnest! #xboxseriesx
I knew the Earth was flat!!! Video games proved it! #thetouryst
Wonder what this noisy little sod trapped in the lampshade is? Not seen one of these before... 🤔
The dark side of trick or treating.
When your fish tank needs just a little.... something more.
I had the rudest taxi driver today! Honestly shocking service. I left no tip.
