  • Hourglass For Tea – A New Take

    Green tea, black tea, white tea: with the Paradox TEA timer, preparing tea is transformed into an individual moment that makes steeping time fly by thanks to the paradox flow of the granulate – from the bottom up.

    I bought one of these last week and it’s truly mesmerising – I will quite often just flip it over even when I don’t have tea in the pot (yea right).

  • Return to running

    Following my recent groin strain – stop sniggering at the back – that’s me back running again.

    Slow and steady – but I never did run any other way !

    So – back to Strathclyde parkrun this Saturday and more importantly – the MND Scotland fun run also in Strathclyde park on Saturday 16th May.

    It’s a cause close to my heart and I will be fundraising for MND Scotland in memory of my brother Derek and my daughter Emma.

  • YouTube playlist – Birthday Number Ones

    I decided to create a playlist that contained all of the number ones from my birthday over the years:

    Some Good – Some Not So Good

    What would your’s look like?

  • Time To Chill

    Run done – check.
    Breakfast eaten – check.
    Spot by the pool – you tell me?

  • Running Again

    I found a much shadier and scenic route for today’s run :

    But I quickly realised why the local runners all stick to the main roads.

    BREATHTAKING !
    My slowest 5k in a long time. Mind you, according to my Fitbit I climbed the equivalent of 34 floors yesterday!

  • Well that was a first in a long time:

    I went for a run
    AND I ENJOYED IT !

    Yes it was only 5k
    Yes it was slow
    Yes it was uninterrupted
    Yes my head was held high
    Yes I smiled all the way

    YES !

  • What I’m Reading – The Martian

    It’s been a while since I found a true “can’t put down” book.

    I have found one The Martian by Andy Weir:

    The story of an astronaut left on Mars.
