To covet or not to covet
I read a quote in my latest self help manual yesterday which has made me think hard overnight about my motivations in life. It was
Mostly broken but still functional
I felt like a broken man when I woke up yesterday. I knew that my enthusiastic tramping around the Malvern hills on Sunday may have
Malvern Knees
In front of me as I start this post is an ice cold pint of Diet Coke and some rather nice looking daffodils. In all
Body Magical
Yesterday definitely felt like summer had landed. The sky was almost a pure blue all day long and it was just warm enough to walk around
Self help – book 2
Well I learned a few things yesterday. Firstly supercoat (TM) was a superb purchase. When worn in the freezing cold with driving rain there’s no
Health victories
It’s been a good day for non-scale victories. This morning was my pre-testing session at my local surgery before my diabetic appointment in two weeks –
Self-help – book one

Determined
Something that’s surprised me lately is how I have begun to react to disappointment. I could easily have been criticised in the past for using failure
Silly numbers
Well the first full week of my new job is over – and today was the crunch day. What had sitting all week done to me?
