Hi Everyone, I hope you’re doing ok. I love the Christmas tree decorations in the photo. The little owl peeking out. Look at his eyes! And then there’s cocktail! I’m reliably informed that it’s a Negroni (gin based darling). The Bauble may have come from the Howell’s department store in…

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re doing ok. Week 50. That sounds like something worth celebrating right? Nope. 52 weeknotes is the goal. Writing a weeknote during week 50 just means my forecast was accurate and the work is sustainable. So I’ll celebrate that instead. Wahoo. That’s it, let’s crack on. …

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re doing ok. Every December we go to get a Christmas tree and make a bit of a thing about the trip. It involves a walk, some breakfast, tree selection, preparation and decoration. Our house is rammed full of house plants so naturally we have to…

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re doing ok. The picture is of Hectar the rabbit. Look at those incredible ears! He’s not fully grown at around 5kg! He spends his days with a dog, two cats and some fish, popping out to the garden for a run around when he feels…

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re doing ok. Me and my riding buddy didn’t go to Bike Park Wales on Friday afternoon (shock horror!). Instead we went to an old favourite. Cwmcarn (just north of Newport) has two main trails and we did both. They have some seriously challenging climbs, even…

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re doing ok. This writing lark actually takes some discipline. I know this because I’m writing this a week late. The thing about writing a week late is that I forget loads of detail about the week. Maybe that’s a good thing but I can’t say…
