19 for 2019: week 19 update
Week of 4 May I don’t have a lot to update this week. I went to work, had a training course and went to a wedding (yay!). I had a nice day walking around Launceston on Friday (more than 33,000 steps for the record) before I was struck down...

19 for 2019: week 17 update
Week of 22 April One of the things that’s on my 19 for 2019 list is to finish a photo project I’d been working on for a while (thing 16). It’s going to be fun, but it’s also intimidating, and I’ve been avoiding it. I had a much easier photo...

Bored and Brilliant challenge 3: making memories
Previous posts on the challenge: Bored and Brilliant introduction post Challenge 1 Challenge 2 Tuesday I had another day without using my phone in transit. I didn’t feel any particular urge to use it or feel that I was missing anything. My biggest fear is that I will forget...
19 for 2019: week 13 update
Week of 25 March On Sunday I completed the month without alcohol challenge (thing 13). I went for a whole month without a drink. Yay me! I’ve written a lot about doing this over the month and I’m not going to go over it all again other than to...
