Festive season

Xmas shopping in Cheltenham

I got today’s exercise walking around Cheltenham for 4 hours. Nice little place, I went there for a few dates back in the day but have never been there for shopping. Picked up a nice lampshade and a few final bits for Christmas ๐โ๏ธ I’m pretty much set now…๐

Back for good (hopefully)

My life has been on hold for the last few months as I have bedded into a tough new role in once-in-a-lifetime circumstances (or at least I hope so). Here’s a clip from my first “proper” workout of the festive holiday. I say proper because I had a very active weekend, although it was largely…

What else would I be doing today?!

What is freedom? I have no idea but from my perspective, not having children is a big part of it! Don’t get me wrong I’m morally bound to do my bit for the “greater good” every now and again, trying to undo black hearted villains’ attempts to make things worse for everyone else – you…

Don’t open if you scare easily!

Happy Halloween all! (OK, it’s next weekend but you can’t dress the place up on the actual day can you?) ๐
