Ready for a New Years Motivational? Nah… It’s been so nice doing absolutely nothing. Eating, drinking, reading, board games, chatting, a little tree chopping, some kayaking, a load of just closing my eyes and snoozing and meditating. I’m still not really ready to jump back in. I can’t be arsed still. So much for a

I’ve noticed that men of a certain age are a little reflective after some recent news. George Michael dying at 53 … Hardly old, now is it? The one thing I know is that I don’t want to get to the end of my life … And not do the things I really wanted to

I’ve got the itch. And it isn’t from my merino thermals. (Merino isn’t scratchy actually) Feels like I haven’t been out kayaking (my favourite thing the world to do, next to eating) for ever. All these social occasions in the lead up to Christmas means when it’s raining I’ve been chatting, But now I’m free,
I learnt something interesting today. Do you want to hear it? It explains why I wanted to learn to meditate in the first place. I couldn’t understand why some days I could be fun and content and focussed so easily. Why I could apply a little discipline and get things done that I wanted to,
I was listening to a dietitian the other day, a very wise man. Mike Sweeney is his name, in case you need a top notch fellow in that field. He was saying that according to the research ALL diets work. (To a certain degree – my fish and chip diet back in the day didn’t
OK, so I’ve been hanging out with some kids this weekend. All in preparation for the arrival of my one. Got one ordered. It’s being manufactured as we speak. Delivery should be late February.
