Another good nights sleep, down to 40mg of Pregabalin and still sleeping through. Woke up at 6:30, immediately fell back to sleep and only just made it to Caffe Nero before opening time. Tess...
Today was meant to be a recovery day, an essential complement to the previous day’s hiking and cycling. I’ve found that although I’m able to do a lot more now on a particular day than I u...
The weather was absolutely superb today in Windermere, so I couldn’t resist a trip up there. I modified my usual routine and parked my car at Ambleside and cycled to Bowness for breakfast, it...

I’ve taken a rest from working on the house today but I’ve not stopped moving and that’s certainly eased my sore legs and back. I woke up before Debbie today which is very rare, I’d slept...

For the first time in as long as I can remember I stayed in the house almost the whole day today, no shopping, no walking, no cooking, just pure focus on finishing Debbie’s office and readying ...

I spent most of the day working on Debbie’s Office and it’s 80% complete now, nearly there! I slept through the night for the first time in probably a month, and I was exhausted so I really n...
Today has all been about the flooring for Debbie’s new office, although I did pop out to Caffe Nero and walk along the prom before I got started. Jennie and Jon cleared the room yesterday, le...

Yesterday was hard work so I decided to rest a bit today, which was lucky as I’d forgotten that I’d got a blood test this morning. The focus for the day has been preparing for laying the fl...

It was an exhausting day today, in and around Rivington. I pushed myself hard doing all of my body weight exercises out in the wilds, scrambling off track and doing some really physical explori...

Another rainy day provided a good opportunity to clear the cleaning backlog, which is good because I’m itching to spend the next couple of days hiking and then the rest of the week, and some of...

It’s been a strange day today, I’ve been struggling with a migraine which has come and gone in severity, not yet bad enough for pain killers. The weather too, can’t make up it’s mind, a...
