Since starting this blog, almost a year ago, I have been waiting to find a topic to write about. Today I have that topic; documenting getting fit to play 15 a side, full contact rugby union. I’ve struggled with back pain for most of my life. When I was younger, the issue was my upperContinue reading “Thursday 28th January”

My first full week of working from home was mixed – I enjoyed it but didn’t feel overly productive. It was nice not having to commute to work and having leisurely mornings. Marta and I would make sure we went out for a walk at least once a day. I think I felt a littleContinue reading “Sunday 10th January”

Today was the first day working from home under the new lockdown. I struggled a little for motivation but did manage to have 10 calls and finalised a deal. This evening Marta and I walked to Waitrose specifically to get the alcohol free Erdingers but they were out of stock so we got some otherContinue reading “Tuesday 5th January”

Today was my first day in the office for 2021 and most likely my last for some time. As of midnight England is going back in to lockdown. I’m going to make sure that I get outside every day for a walk and will continue to get up early and exercise. This morning I metContinue reading “Monday 4th January”

Today Marta, Lana, Nick and I visited Richmond Park. We met them at Putney Bridge tube and drove in from there. I think it was the first time that I had ever been there. The park is huge – you could definitely get lost there. I know Bonnie would absolutely love it. On the tubeContinue reading “Sunday 3rd January”

This morning I finished watching the 3-part series on the BBC which documented the rise of the Nazi party in Germany starting in the early 1930s and ending with Hitler taking full power in 1934. I learned a lot about the internal struggles within the Nazi party and how they seized power. Mas the storyContinue reading “Saturday 2nd January 2021”

I tried out my new light alarm clock today. It worked well; I woke up around 6am as the light slowly came on. Whilst I still lay in bed for several more hours I can see how it will benefit me by the light being on when I have to get out of bed andContinue reading “Friday 1st January 2021”

It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m drafting my resolutions for 2021. So far I have four bullet points: Stretch every day (specifically focusing on lower back and hamstrings) Learn Polish by setting aside an hour every Sunday to learn and ensuring I practice for a minimum of 5 minutes every day. Read a minimum ofContinue reading “Thursday 31st December”

I feel like I have some stability back in my life. After moving back to my mum’s at the start of lockdown (mid March) I haven’t really had my own space. Whilst I was fortunate enough to have my own room at my mum’s it wasn’t my place – it wasn’t my fridge; it wasn’tContinue reading “Sunday 15th November”

We finished watching I’m thinking of ending things last night. Overall, I didnt really like it. It was too slow and thought it was cleverer than what it actually was. I did enjoy the middle act set in the family home but the rest was dreary. We also watched the first episode of Upload whichContinue reading “Sunday 13th September”
