Week 34/2021: Week of 23 August 2021 What did I want to do better this week? Walking. Mornings and afternoons. So, how did that go then? I went for a walk every morning and every afternoon except Monday. I’m counting walks that have an actual purpose as well as...

Seven years ago, we went to the Tahune airwalk, which is in southern Tasmania, just out of Geeveston. It’s part of a site known as Tahune Aventures and I wrote a post about the 2015 trip here. Sadly, the area was badly affected by the Riveaux Road bushfires in...

Week 17: week of 20 April My 20 for 2020 list. This was another slow week for my 20 for 2020 list. There are some things I won’t be able to do while we are in death virus lockdown, such as getting my sewing machine fixed (thing 2) and...

My 20 for 2020 list. Week of 24 February  For my uni course (thing 8), I have five weeks to undertake a project to apply some of the things I’ve learned in the unit to my workplace. There was lots to think about from last week’s workshop and I’ve come...

This morning’s plan was to wake up early—well, as early as I’d need to when the sun rises close to 8 am—and take some sunrise photos over the lake. This plan was somewhat thwarted by the fact that everywhere was enveloped in fog and the sun was nowhere to...

So this blog-as-accountability-partner thing isn’t working out as well as I’d hoped and I’ve missed several weeks. The several weeks don’t have much going for them. All those 6/7 and 7/7 weeks seem like a lifetime away, and most of the healthy habits I’ve been trying so hard to...

I have walked past this tree hundreds of times on  my way to and from work, and I’ve never looked at it. Today I was in a go-slow mode and it caught my eye. I noticed how it wraps around itself, whereas the surrounding trees are straight up and down. I...

Monday was the last day of our holiday. We took a short walk through the forest at the back of the hotel before we left. The rest of the day we spent driving home and feeling a bit frustrated that we were stuck in the car on the day...
