19 for 2019: week 31 update
Week of 29 July 2019 I’ve not made a lot of progress on my five remaining 19 for 2019 things. I really should contact the sewing machine repair person (thing 10), especially as Kramstable says he’s enjoying his textile work at school that he’s started this term. With my...
19 for 2019: week 26 update
Coming up to the middle of the year, I’ve completed nine of my 19 things I wanted to do this year. That’s pretty close to half, although the pedant in me says that half of 19 is nine-and-a-half, which is rounded up to ten, so I should have completed...
19 for 2019: week 25 update

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...
Bored and brilliant challenge 2: out of sight
Previous posts on the challenge: Bored and Brilliant introduction post Challenge 1 Challenge 2 of the Bored and Brilliant experiment is called ”Keep your devices out of reach while in motion”.
