Malvern hills end to end and back!

February 25, 2018 daveywankenobie

It’s 5am on Sunday, my alarm has just gone off and I’m tired. REALLY TIRED. I can lay the blame at the feet of temporary insomnia

Feeling loved

February 24, 2018 daveywankenobie

February 24, 2018 daveywankenobie

February 23, 2018 daveywankenobie

February 20, 2018 daveywankenobie

What happened when I shared

February 18, 2018 daveywankenobie

I’m sitting at home – and my house is filled with the delicate aroma of a curried beef stew that’s bubbling away in my slow

Finally! A nineteen and a half stone certificate!!!

February 17, 2018 daveywankenobie

Amazingly – after being stuck in pretty much the same weight bracket since December – I’ve finally moved forward. Well – it’s more than just

Ultimate Accuracy or Ultimate Fallacy?

February 16, 2018 daveywankenobie

Now I’m close to my target weight I’ve noticed that my thoughts about getting there (and where ‘there’ actually is) are pretty much inescapable. I

Trying to be good

February 13, 2018 daveywankenobie

So far so good. My foot is holding up and I’m once again walking back and forth to work and getting my daily distance back

Considering targets

February 10, 2018 daveywankenobie

The final frontier

February 6, 2018 daveywankenobie

Warwick to Coventry AND BACK!!!

February 4, 2018 daveywankenobie

Start the day as you mean to go on I say – and with that in mind blisters appear to be the current theme developing

Only eight pounds to go…

February 3, 2018 daveywankenobie

If there’s one thing thats remained irritatingly consistent throughout the last two years of weight loss its the fact that I really have no idea

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.
