📸 Morning coffee and morning sunshine.
📸 Good morning. The combination of fog, mist and sunshine is doing strange things to London’s skyline.
📸 It looks beautiful out there. Time to go for a run.
🎥 A small thing for many, but a big thing for me: my little YouTube channel now has 1,000 followers. I hit the number before I went to be last night and was really thrilled. I’d aimed to hit 1,000 by the end of 2024, so I’m only a few days late. Onwards, to YouTube fame!!
📸 Good morning from London!
Due to a ferocious lack of sleep last night, today is going to be… a challenge. ☕️
My small steps to move away from big (fash) tech.
💪🏼 Fit and focussed: one week in
A short summary of my efforts to improve my wellbeing since January 1st.
☕️ Coffee drinkers reap health boost – but only if they do it in the morning
People who get their coffee hit in the morning reap benefits that are not seen in those who have shots later in the day, according to the first major study into the health benefits of the drink at different times.
🎉
And a very happy “English fascists are now tearing lumps out of each other Day” to all who celebrate. I can’t tell you how pleased I am to see them turn on each other, like rats in a sack.
📸 Yet another London sunset. I make no apologies - I’ll never get sick of this view.
🥶 Another day when it was just too nasty to exercise outside. So I popped down to the gym and watched ‘Squid Game’ season 2 on my iPad while on the elliptical machine. It made the time pass so quickly.
And definitely got my heart rate up!
💪🏼 Proof of gym
After heading out for a run yesterday and the day before, today’s cold weather has stopped me in my tracks. So instead, I’m going to head to our building’s gym in the basement and work out on the elliptical trainer. It’s still exercise, but will be warmer. Plus I can watch some Netflix on my iPad.
✈️ My next trip to Japan just got one hell of an upgrade!
📸 Good morning from a very cold but very pretty London. No filters or edits required for this photo!
☀️ After the last few days of torrential rain and shocking wind, it’s nice to see blue skies and sunshine again. I really don’t care how cold it is as long as it’s bright.
🏃🏼♂️ I’ve just been for my first run of 2025, which was tough as all hell. I’m definitely out of practice.
📺 So far, I’ve spent this New Year’s Day re-watching season’s one and two of Star Trek: Discovery. All in all, an excellent start to 2025.
🎉 A fresh start for the new year?
Having a theme for the entire year means I can use it to guide my choices on a daily basis, in small ways, and not just focus on an arbitrary goal in the future.
