Bounce back #2 (quick shoulders catch up)
I tried out my 4k action cam for the first time to record a gym session and the results were much better than with my phone. Shame about the audio, I might have to invest in a GoPro at some point.

Bounce back: gym
After an insane 2021 so far I finally pumped a dumbbell or two last week. Here’s a badly made video snipped to capture the moment 🙂

Wet hot English summer
Throughout the last month some my flagship plants have been flowering. I’ve gathered a few highlights, although it’s not yet “peak garden” so pictures to come. For that I’m waiting upon my hydrangeas to flower, which should happen within the next few weeks.

2021 Ride #4, Saturday 5th June.
I went out at peak heat and repeated Ride #1 of 2021: exactly the same distance and route. I was 1.5 mph faster, which doesn’t sound much but is when you think about it. 💭 I’m no faster downhill (one has to think about safety on narrow country roads) so it’s all based upon extra…

Spring blooms
Check out this cheerful character in the middle of my shrubbery. Beautiful purple flowers that match the magnolia tree next to it. It’s the first time this flash plant has flowered, 3 years after going into the ground.

VegTrug of dreams
After weeks in the making my grand vision for a future of fresh herbs came together today. Just need to wait patiently upon nature now.

At last: a Sunday road warrior session
I’m not typically a fair weather cyclist but getting out in the off-season simply wasn’t an option this year. Today was the big opportunity so I got out and got 20 miles in. Didn’t feel too bad, although not especially good either. It’s a start though, back on the horse 🏇

Mid-floor bathroom
When I moved into this house it was undecorated, which is baffling given that two families had owned it prior for 9 years combined. I guess to some people living somewhere aesthetically pleasing isn’t a priority. I’m not “some people”…🙂
