I went climbing today. I haven’t been for some months, and I was reminded of what I’m missing. Contrary to popular belief, I haven’t almost stopped climbing since Jack was born. Sure I initially did a little less, but I still trained and got outside, and Jack came with us occasionally. The truth of the…

Been a busy boy this week. Amongst other things, I’ve added a calendar to cardifftri.net for them to add races and training dates too. It seems to be working well, and it was the new Chairman’s idea. He’s got a bunch of other ideas too, so I’m going to be veeery busy, methinks. The calendar’s…

Actually, I think I realise why I’m annoyed with myself. I’m annoyed because I have too much to do, too much I want to do, and not enough time. I’m starting to have to drop things I said I’d do, lowest priority first, and miss deadlines. I don’t even think it’s my fault, because if…

I’m crap today. I’ve got a hundred things to do, but I can’t motivate myself to do the larger, more important tasks. It’s really bugging me. I’d much rather do the less important, smaller, more fun jobs, and I can’t get myself to do what I have to do. This has mostly come about because…

I’ve just been chatting with Kim on iChat on the train on the way home from work. She told me that a little boy got hit by a car by the park at the end of our close. The park that Jack spends so much time in. The car was driving too fast, hit the…

Most of my teaching is small group, vaguely practical work done in 30 minute sessions and repeated to cover the entire group of students. This is usually pretty interactive, and you can guage how much the students a) already know and b) are taking in. Besides this, there’s a lot of interactivity with body language,…

OK, so this is how it’s going to be. People got used to having TV’s throughout the house, so any member of the family could watch what they wanted without argument. But this doesn’t work any more. With digital TV through satellite and cable providers the number of channels available is huge (Freeview excepted). There…

Yes, I’m feeling much better thanks. I’m working at home for a couple of days to take it easy though. I cycled into work on Monday and was exhausted by the time I got home. My appetite is back with a vengeance. I can’t stop eating. Working at home is nice. I pretty much finished…

Ugh. I’m 5 days without eating properly now, and though I must feel better than day 1, I still feel rough. My small intestine remains inflammed. (Sorry to put it like that). Oh well. I’m at least 2 days behind already, so I’d better get my arse back to work tomorrow. I won’t cycle. I’ll…

I’m ill. I’m off work with what people probably call gastric flu. I’ve picked up a bug or a virus that’s given me a belly ache (the Greek word for belly is gaster, so that fits) plus the usual side orders. I’m not too bad with these things normally; I have a “strong stomach”. Instead…
