Week 51/2025: A nightmare of cyclical proportions
Week of 15 December 2025 As we edge closer to the solstice, I feel unsettled, edgy, and things happen that throw me right out. And they aren’t, in the grand scheme of things, that bad. There’s a lot lot worse happening in the world. A lot. But I am...
Week 50/2025: No particular order
Week of 8 December 2025 I was back at work this week after being sick last week, and my main focus was on preparing for my acting class performance on Sunday. This post is wholly researched and written by me. I do not use AI in my writing. I...
Week 34/2025: A catch-up post
Week of 18 August I’m watching the weeks slip away and posts not being finished. My uni assignment has taken up a lot of my time and there hasn’t been much else going on. So this is a quick catch-up post. There are more to come! This post is...
Week 19/2025: Exploding back pain
Week of 5 May 2025 I’ve been feeling a bit miserable this week. Ouch! Exploding back pain I hurt my back exercising last Saturday (flash back to this week . . . or this one . . . or . . . ) and had various health professionals tell...
Week 32/2024: Returning to exercise

Week 28/2023: Backs and shoulders, arms and eyes (part 2)
Week of 10 July 2023 Backs and shoulders. Well, really, just backs. This is where I write an update about how great I’m doing with my shoulder exercises and how much better my back is feeling right? Well, actually no. Nothing has got better and, if anything, it’s got...
Week 21/2023: Thinking and planning
Week of 22 May 2023 Thinking and planning This week was a bit of a thinking and planning week. Like last week (and, spoiler alert, next week), I did very badly on tracking my habits so there’s no update there. I need to review everything, put a few new...
Week 24/2021: rocket man
Week of 14 June 2021 What did I want to do better this week? Last week I said I wanted to focus on sleep and just sleep. I’d been creeping my shutdown time past 10.15 and not leaving enough time to wind down before my 10.30 bedtime. With a...
2020 in review
Susannah Conway’s Unravel Your Year 2021 workbook asks you to describe the year just gone by in three words. It’s left open to you how you interpret this: you could, I imagine, choose three words that describe the year from a global perspective, from a personal perspective or anywhere...
Bicycle days
On Monday morning I left home at 6.45 to ride to work, which is number 10 on my 20 for 2020 list. Some background. When I moved to Canberra and started my first job (last century), encouraged by one of my bike-rider colleagues, I bought a bike and started...
