Managed to get some yoga done this evening as I have a busy week coming up (as always!). It took me back to a three-month trip in 2017 where I spent a week at a Zen Buddhist temple on Kyushu island, Japan. It was no longer a working temple; I actually found it on AirBnB!Continue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 29 of 366”

Daily thoughts… Day 28 of 366
Last December (2023) I went to the Barbican to see Simon Reeve on his ‘To the Ends of the Earth’ tour. I’m not quite sure what I was expecting, in the second half he touched on some deeply personal topics and I think it’s probably the most honest and raw shows I have ever seenContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 28 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 22 of 366
Hope you’ve had a good start to the week? I’ve hit the ground running with a day of meetings and helping out on an interview panel, somehow managing to achieve my step goal in the process. As you may have read in a previous post I’m doing a little fitness challenge with my niece, tryingContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 22 of 366”

A weekend meeting up with friends, a walk along part of the Saxon Shore Way (today’s image) and catching up on TV. My top two January TV picks are: Have you watched any of these, and how did you find them?

I’ve been reflecting on my journey this week; tiring, but I learned a lot. Sometimes we push ourselves into new environments, and sometimes we get a little push and have to decide if we are going to sink or swim. And yes, I do feel that it is a choice – it is all toContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 19 of 366”

It was a balmy -5 degrees on my drive this morning as I was attempting to thaw the ice on the outside AND inside of my windscreen. I had got up at the crack of dawn to get the early train but the thawing took longer than expected and I had the pleasure of sittingContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 18 of 366”

A busy day today as our department is preparing for a 2-day Termly Increment (TI, or for those of you familiar with Agile – PI) planning session starting tomorrow. More on that subject over the next two days I’m sure! Our Director sent out his newsletter today and what he had to say about ChatGPTContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 16 of 366”

IMHO it’s good to have goals. They don’t have to be big or difficult, a goal might be to read a book or visit someone you haven’t seen in a while. I lived for many years without any real goals – nothing to mark the passage of time – one day was just like anotherContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 14 of 366”

The second Wednesday of each month is my local Women’s Institute meeting. The first part is a meeting, followed by a speaker, coffee/tea/cake and then close. We take turns doing certain jobs at the meeting, like serving the tea, and this month my job was to give the vote of thanks to our speaker. TheContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 10 of 366”

Shared a great morning walk with a friend today. 2024 is going to be friends appreciation year, of old friends and new. I can’t decide whether this friend is old or new, I think she’s a bit of both! We’ve known each other for years from playing in the same orchestra, but have recently connectedContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 7 of 366”
