2013 fitness targets update

By Iain January 1, 2014ReflectionsNo Comments

I made three posts in early 2013 detailing some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end of the year. If I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them. Here goes. I'll tackle the fitness targets first. You can find last years entry here. In terms of meeting…

Friday Update 6/12/13

By Iain December 6, 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I wasn't going to do an update this week, as I usually do them on a Thursday night after work and post them early Friday morning, or schedule them for early Friday morning if I fancy an early night, but after the day I had, I was not in the mood to write anything. It's Christmas in retail yet again,…

Progress

Just some stuff that I need to get out of my head: I feel like the Youtube/Twitch stuff has lost momentum. It's mainly because the shitty laptop I bought off eBay was too shit to process videos at a high resolution, and our broadband is too slow to stream it. I'm saving up for a more powerful new laptop, but…

I do not recognise that particular meal

By Iain September 10, 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

How come some people just can't get their head round that you like to eat Asda Smart Price pre-cooked chicken washed down with a banana and strawberry smoothie? And why do other people feel the need to scoff at you when you want to eat a poached egg with no bread? Dairy (especially full-fat dairy), makes me bloated, why is…

Our Honeymoon – Day 8

By Iain June 15, 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

Day eight, we drove home. The cats were happy to see us when we arrived, as were the boys. There not being any scales in our apartment, I had no idea if I had put on weight. Well, I say I had no idea, but it was really obvious to be honest - I was drinking 2-3 pints of lager…

Our Honeymoon – Day 7

By Iain June 14, 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

Day seven was our last day at Lurcombe, sadly. We went to Becky Falls, which was awesome. I love a good walk. I experimented with the panorama setting on my camera, and came up with some quite lovely shots, the best of which you can look at and buy prints of here, or you can look at them and read…

Our Honeymoon – Day 2

By Iain June 9, 2013Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Sunday was Jane's birthday. I slept very well, had a nice green tea in bed, then a bowl of Just Right and some delicious scrambled farm eggs on rustic wholemeal toast. The shower in our apartment was incredible - kind of sunk into the ground. We went off to Cockington on this day, Cockington Court in particular. Jane downloaded a…

Our Honeymoon – Day 1

By Iain June 8, 2013Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Day one. This started at home, early Saturday morning. Unlike previous holidays, where I've not really been bothered about getting up early on a Saturday morning ready to travel, I don't tend to work stupidly early on a Saturday morning anymore, so getting up at 5 in the morning hurt. And it didn't help that I did not sleep very…

Fitness targets

By Iain January 31, 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

It's got me thinking, the creative target thing. Maybe I need to have targets... No, no, no, I already have targets. Maybe I need to make these targets public? Well first of all, and this may come as no surprise, I'd like to stop smoking. I'm starting to feel the effects badly now - I dread catching a cold, and,…

Nice couple of days

By Iain October 25, 2012Books, Creativity, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Seeing as Jane and I were going out for a meal with her work-mates in Southampton last night, I thought I'd go over earlier in the day and see my family. Met David and Otis at the Mayflower, then went on to the hospital and had lunch with Mum, gave her some belated birthday presents and just generally had a…
